Great Place to Work\u00ae Middle East conducts a rigorous audit of every participating company before it can be listed as one of the Best Workplaces\u2122 in the region. This year, the Best Workplaces\u2122 spanned across multiple industries that include retail, social services and government agencies, transportation, finance and media. The organizations were surveyed on fundamental issues that take into account how trustworthy and caring an organization is for their employees during times of crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To obtain Best Workplace\u2122 ranking, the companies are scored. Sixty percent of a company\u2019s score is based on the confidential feedback of their employees while the remaining score is attained from an audit of management and HR practices- a reflection of the company\u2019s solutions to specific criteria. This year, the audit was strictly built around the bold acts of leadership the organizations have undertaken in response to the COVID-19 crisis, and the ways the pandemic has impacted their people, business and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within this framework, employees were asked about their physical, emotional and financial health which mirrored some of the tough choices\u2019 leaders had chosen to take during this unsettling period of time. Having said that, the heroes that are continuously building a greater environment for their employees have stood out, and we are always here to celebrate them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
