Kincentric, a Spencer Stuart company, has announced the results of the 2019 Best Employers Mena programme, which recognizes leading employers that strive to continuously spark change, inspire their people and accelerate business success.

This year, ten organisations from across a number of sectors have topped the ranking. They include: DHL Express; DHL Global Forwarding; InterContinental Hotels Group; Jumeirah Group; Atlantis, The Palm; Marriott International; Novartis; Proctor & Gamble Near East; Teleperformance and TLScontact.

Kincentric helps organizations unlock the power of people and teams through their unique approach to human capital.

Best Employers, the leading employer benchmarking program in MENA, measures and recognizes extraordinary employers that demonstrate workplace excellence. Formerly a part of Aon, the program is now offered by Kincentric, a new business unit of Spencer Stuart, following the acquisition by Spencer Stuart of the business unit from Aon in July 2019.

Khalid Youssef, Principal – Head of Culture & Employee Engagement, Middle East & Africa at Kincentric, said: “The Kincentric Best Employers program recognizes the outstanding achievements of organizations across the region that capture the full power of their people and deliver strong, sustainable business results. Our research consistently shows that organizations that demonstrate high levels of employee engagement, profound organizational agility, engaging leadership and strong talent focus are reaping the benefits and creating a workplace of the future.”

Findings from this year’s study show that Best Employers in the region continue to invest in creating a highly engaged workforce, with an employee engagement score of 83% compared to 69% market average.
