Chalhoub Group tops LinkedIn list of UAE companies for career growth

All selected businesses have been ranked based on seven pillars that are proven to lead to career progression: ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity and educational background.

The professional network’s list this year included 80 percent new entries while companies such as Mubadala, Al Tayer, and Majid Al Futtaim have remained in the ranking, highlighting the consistency of these companies in creating a work culture that attracts and retains talent.

Leading regional healthcare firms and top-tier financial institutions strongly feature on this year’s list, reinforcing a trend that is seen across LinkedIn’s data as both sectors saw high growth during the pandemic.

Selected companies prioritise investing in an inclusive environment for employee growth and success, while continuing to navigate their recovery in an unpredictable landscape.

“It is exciting to witness companies move in parallel with the transformation of the modern workplace – and our data is reflecting that. Seeing new rankers make up 80 percent of the list for 2022 is an indication of how significant a single year can be in reinvigorating business cultures as the world of work continues to evolve,” said Lynn Chouman, senior news editor at LinkedIn.

“While it is important we celebrate companies that have remained an employer of choice for their employees amid global uncertainty, the list also aims to inform professionals on the best places to work in the UAE,” she added.
