For over 25 years, the Top Employers Institute has been assessing HR best practices around the world and recognizing the world’s leading employers for their efforts in providing employees with the best working conditions and opportunities for personal and professional development.

Companies are reviewed based on accomplishments within key disciplines: Leadership Development, Performance Management, Career & Succession Management, Compensation & Benefits, Workforce Planning, Talent Strategy, On-Boarding, Learning & Development and Culture.

“Keeping our employees motivated and ensuring they are happy coming to work every day sits at the heart of everything that we do” stated Faysal El Hajjami, Country Manager of DHL Express KSA. “This outstanding achievement stands testament to our working culture; it reiterates our ongoing efforts to nurturing the growth and development of our people and our commitment to creating a fulfilling work setting where our employees are encouraged and inspired to flourish. We consider it as our utmost responsibility to cultivate a culture that operates as one solid unit, and we work hard to ensure we continue to better ourselves as a company, and to keep up with the needs of our people and our customers”.

Top Employer certification recognizes the accomplishments of organizations that are providing the highest standards in employee conditions. The first step in the certification process is participation in the HR Best Practices Survey: a comprehensive analysis of 600 aspects of an organization’s Human Resources environment. After completion of the HR Best Practices Survey, the Top Employers Institute determines which organizations have reached the required standards to be certified as Top Employers. It then validates its findings, including with the support of a third-party audit, before confirming certification. Regional and global certifications offer additional recognition to employers focused on advancing employee conditions within their entire organization, and the world.
