Following last week’s announcement of being named one of the Best Workplaces™ in Hong Kong 2025, ARC Group proudly joined the official awards ceremony hosted by Great Place To Work Greater China at Maggie Choo’s on July 10.

Valentin Ischer, Managing Director at ARC Group, attended the celebration to represent the firm and share reflections on the importance of building an inclusive and high-performing workplace.

Hong Kong, the headquarters of ARC Group, offers exceptional access to regional markets and global clients. It is a true meeting point of East and West, which aligns perfectly with ARC’s international character. The firm has cultivated a culture that encourages people to take ownership, speak up, and grow together. By combining global standards with local understanding, ARC ensures that every team member feels a sense of belonging, regardless of background.

This year’s theme of “Celebration” resonates deeply with ARC Group’s values. The firm celebrates achievements of every scale, from major milestones to personal moments, strengthening connections and fostering a shared sense of pride. In Hong Kong, the team embraces both Chinese and Western traditions, celebrating Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, Halloween, birthdays, and many other moments. This reflects ARC Group’s commitment to cultural inclusivity and unity across all offices.  This year, the celebration also takes on added significance as ARC Group marks its 10th anniversary—a decade of excellence, resilience, and innovation. This milestone is a powerful reminder of how far the team has come, and a moment to honor the people and values that have shaped ARC’s journey.

Valentin emphasized that ARC Group’s recognition is the result of a people-centered approach where open dialogue and active listening are fundamental. Employees are encouraged to take initiative and develop, while leadership remains dedicated to preserving a close and supportive environment across regions.

Looking ahead, ARC Group remains focused on developing future leaders, enhancing cross-border collaboration, and investing in young talent through structured entry points and training opportunities. As the firm continues to grow globally, its priority remains clear: to maintain a workplace culture that is empowering, personal, and deeply connected.
