DHL Express MENA Named Top 'Middle East Best Workplace' 2020

DHL Express MENA has been formally identified as the best company to work for in the Middle East for 2020, by leading international workplace culture authority Great Place to Work Middle East.

The International logistics giant took the leading spot in the top 50 Middle East Best Workplaces list which served local, regional and international private and public organisations operating in this region, comprising a wide industry base from logistics and technology to finance, media, fashion, FMCG, hospitality, healthcare and manufacturing.

The Best Workplaces annual benchmarking study assesses the level of reliability, respect, fairness, pride and friendship within an organisation, with the advantage of the score based on the private feedback of their employees, while the extra score is taken from an audit of management and HR practices.

Being known as the Best Workplace in the Middle East is a great accomplishment for DHL and one we are all collectively proud of, stated Henry Fares, VP HR DHL Express MENA.

DHL places great importance on maintaining a cooperative work culture that is powered by mutual trust, highly motivated people inspired by the purpose of Connecting people, improving lives and a spirit of innovation and comradeship.

Our HR strategy has consistently prioritised a happy, healthy workplace where people are excited to come to work every day; we have endeavoured to inspire a conducive environment where every DHL employee, regardless of where they stand in the company or across our vast network, have a way to the right support and are further encouraged by an enabling work atmosphere to thrive within the organisation.

I dedicate this award to all the DHL employees who make this place the best company to work for.

The objective of the study is to identify organisations across the region that provide a high trust, high making culture for employees. To be viewed in the list, organizations have to meet the Great Place to Work-Certified standard and with a minimum score of 85% per cent based on what employees say about their actions of trust and ability to reach their full human potential as part of their organization, no matter who they are or what they do. Great Place to Work is the global authority on workplace culture.

It helps companies quantify their culture and deliver greater business outcomes by building a high-trust work experience for all employees. Emprising, its culture management platform, empowers leaders with the surveys, real-time reporting, and shrewdness they need to make data-driven people decisions.

The company uses its unique benchmark data to recognize Great Place to Work-Certified companies and the Best Workplaces in the U.S. and more than 60 other countries, including Fortunes annual list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.
