Abu Dhabi: If you’re looking for a job in United Arab Emirates (UAE), a global research, training and consultancy firm Great Place to Work, has revealed the best places to work in 2023.
The firm recognised the top five governmental, 25 large, and 50 small and medium organisations across the UAE in its best workplaces list for 2023.
The study found that the top five UAE companies to work for in the large category include fast food chain McDonald’s, air conditioning company Leminar Group, family-owned Al Dabbagh Group, fashion retailer Centrepoint and luxury retailer Chalhoub Group.
Great Place to Work said the organizations on this year’s list have worked hard to bridge gaps and transform cultures to become great places to work.
“The organisations that made it to the list have proven that employee well-being does not need to be comprised to achieve growth, in fact, both go hand-in-hand,” the firm said.
