TOPTAL NAMED AMERICA’S MOST RELIABLE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES COMPANY
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4 (Bernama) -- Toptal, the world’s largest fully remote workforce, has been ranked the number one most reliable professional services company in America on the America’s Most Reliable Companies 2026 list by Newsweek and Statista.
“This achievement reflects the trust global organisations place in Toptal as a dependable partner for top talent and strategic execution. The recognition reinforces our continued commitment to delivering exceptional experiences and outcomes for clients of all sizes,” said Toptal Chief Executive Officer, Taso Du Val in a statement.
In Newsweek’s ranking of 300 companies across all industries, Toptal placed 10th, behind Bank of America and Oracle, which tied for ninth.
As the most reliable professional services organisation in America, Toptal, which ranked 11th in the overall absolute rankings, placed well ahead of companies such as Accenture, Deloitte and Cognizant.
The America’s Most Reliable Companies 2026 ranking is based on an independent survey of over 80,000 evaluations submitted by 2,400 business decision-makers at America’s largest companies, making the recognition a meaningful indicator of product and service excellence in the business-to-business (B2B) marketplace.
Companies were assessed across five key metrics, namely likelihood of recommendation, ease of doing business, value for money, consistency of deliverables and reputation for dependability. The ranking recognises organisations that deliver reliable and consistent outcomes.
Toptal stands out for its professional services offerings across technology services, artificial intelligence services, data labelling and annotation, management consulting and managed services, among others.
In securing its position on the list alongside global brands, Toptal’s performance highlights the company’s mission to empower organisations with a relentless focus on reliability, trust, and long-term client value.

DELIBERATE DESIGN TO DRIVE ORGANISATIONAL SUCCESS IN 2026, REPORT FINDS
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 (Bernama) -- Organisations can no longer rely on speed and scale alone to sustain performance in 2026, according to a new report by Top Employers Institute, a global certification, benchmarking, and advisory firm.
The study, World of Work Trends 2026: The Intentional Organisation, highlights that high-performing organisations will prioritise deliberate design in work, leadership, and management systems to drive sustainable success.
“2026 is where speed gives way to intentional design. Our data shows that performance under pressure now depends on how deliberately organisations structure work, decision-making and leadership focus,” said Top Employers Institute chief executive officer, Adrian Seligman.
Drawing on a dataset of 2,358 global organisations, the report identifies five critical trends human resources (HR) leaders must address to sustain performance under pressure, according to the firm in a statement.
Moving beyond statements, HR leaders must embed purpose into decision-making and implement measurement scorecards to provide tangible evidence of its impact on behaviours and outcomes.
As nearly half of AI projects are scrapped and productivity gains are reported by only 37 per cent of teams, intentional deployment is paramount. HR leaders must establish clear governance frameworks regarding use, accountability, and fairness.
While most organisations have remote work policies, future performance will be distinguished by how deliberately flexibility is structured. Designing flexibility with boundaries is necessary to protect fairness, performance, and employee wellbeing.
Organisations must accept that productivity cannot come from simply working people harder, especially amid shrinking HR budgets and rising burnout. The path forward involves directing energy to high-impact work, protecting focus, and building renewable workforce capability through redeployment and reskilling.
Competitive advantage depends on redesigning stability as a platform for continuous learning and internal mobility, not merely retention. Organisations that prioritise job security currently report nine per cent lower voluntary turnover than average.
The report’s findings are based on anonymised survey responses and regression analyses linking HR best practices with key success metrics, including employee engagement, profitability, and market share.

Persona AI, State Of Louisiana Launch Humanoid Robotics Pilot In Heavy Industry
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- Persona AI, a robotics company headquartered in Houston, Texas, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the State of Louisiana, United States (US), to launch a pilot programme advancing humanoid robotics in active heavy-industry environments.
The pilot, to be conducted at SSE Steel Fabrication’s (SSE Steel) large-scale fabrication facility in St Bernard Parish, marked a significant moment where a state has formally partnered with industry to support humanoid robotics development in a live industrial setting.
Facilitated by Louisiana Innovation (LA.IO), a division of Louisiana Economic Development, and supported by Greater New Orleans Inc (GNO Inc), the initiative will position Louisiana as a national leader in embodied artificial intelligence (AI) in advanced manufacturing and next-generation workforce technologies.
In a statement, Persona AI Chief Executive Officer, Nicolaus Radford said the partnership with Louisiana accelerates humanoid development in an industrially relevant region, supporting domestic shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing capacity.
The pilot will collect real-world human movement and task data in an operating steel manufacturing facility, informing how humanoid systems perceive, move, and work alongside skilled tradespeople in complex, dynamic environments.
In addition, the pilot will leverage SSE Steel’s advanced fabrication operations as the industrial proving ground for Persona AI’s upcoming release of rugged humanoid platforms, designed to operate in environments originally built for humans rather than redesigned for traditional automation.
Unlike fixed industrial robots, humanoid robots are envisioned to use existing tools, navigate uneven terrain, and adapt to changing conditions, making them suited for heavy industry sectors facing persistent labour shortages and operational complexity.
The pilot reflects broader momentum around humanoid robotics across US manufacturing, maritime, energy, defence, and infrastructure sectors. Officials emphasise that adoption of such technologies historically creates new, higher-value roles in robotics operation, systems management, safety supervision, and skilled trades.
The pilot will initially focus on training humanoid welders for deployment in fabrication and shipbuilding, with plans to scale humanoid robotics across Louisiana’s core industries.

JAPAN’S MEIJI YASUDA CREDIT RATINGS AFFIRMED SUPERIOR - AM BEST
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has affirmed the financial strength rating of A+ (Superior) and the long-term issuer credit rating of “aa-” (Superior) of Japan’s Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company (Meiji Yasuda).
The outlook of these credit ratings (ratings) is stable, reflecting Meiji Yasuda’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its strong operating performance, favourable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
Meiji Yasuda’s balance sheet strength assessment is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, and is supported further by its solid capital base and conservative financial leverage.
Following market-driven fluctuations in unrealised gains on securities, the company’s absolute capital retreated from its peak of 5.8 trillion Japanese yen between March 2024 and March 2025, though it had since recovered by September 2025. (100 Japanese yen = RM2.54)
According to AM Best in a statement, Meiji Yasuda’s substantial equity holdings continue to present a degree of equity risk; however, the company possesses ample capital buffers to absorb such risks.
Capital management is conducted through a disciplined framework incorporating economic-based metrics such as the economic solvency ratio and group surplus, complemented by a sound asset-liability management strategy.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (fiscal year 2024), Meiji Yasuda delivered a strong and resilient operating performance, with consolidated insurance premiums of 3.4 trillion Japanese yen and a base profit of 626 billion Japanese yen, supported by higher investment-related gains and a stronger contribution from its overseas operations.
One of Japan’s largest private life insurance companies, Meiji Yasuda maintains a leading position in the domestic group insurance segment. Its ongoing efforts to improve the quality and productivity of the agency channel and strong sales of the bancassurance channel continue to support revenue growth and its position in the domestic market.
