Dulsco wins top company to work for award

The accolade, a hat-trick for Dulsco, once again puts the spotlight on its employee-friendly policies and initiatives.

This year's official rankings of the top 15 companies, released today by the Great Places to Work Institute, a global research and management consultancy, placed Dulsco firmly among the top companies which were finalised after reviewing the confidential feedback received from their employees and an independent audit of their human resource practices.

Commenting on the award, Dulsco Chairman Abdul Aziz Mohammad Khan said, "Once again, we are proud of achieving total excellence in ensuring the well-being of our family of over 6,000 employees. The winning of the award will further encourage us to push the boundaries and challenge conventional practices in maintaining employee satisfaction."

The Great Place to Work Institute recognises the best workplaces in over 45 countries worldwide after assessing what companies do on a daily basis to earn and sustain the trust and respect of their people. Two-thirds of a company's score is based on the results of the Institute's proprietary trust index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management's credibility, job satisfaction, and workplace camaraderie.

The other third of the scoring is based on the company's response to the Institute's culture audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programmes and a series of open-ended questions about hiring, communication, and diversity.

Companies from across a variety of industries in the UAE applied for recognition to the 2013 list. In accordance with the practices of the Great Place to Work Institute, only those companies recognized for their exemplary employee management and engagement processes are recognized on the list of "Top Companies".

In addition, the Institute evaluated materials submitted by the company, including the company's response to the Great Place to Work culture audit, any accompanying material submitted by the company for consideration, as well as information gathered from other reputable sources such as media stories about the company.
