Batelco has been ranked the number one certified organization in the telecommunications sector across the GCC in 2021 as a great workplace, by Great Place to Work® Institute Middle East; the global authority on high-trust, high-performance workplace cultures. This is the second consecutive year that Batelco has been recognised by GPTW as the only telecom in this region to achieve the certification.

The Great Place to Work® institute relies on specific criteria to evaluate the work environment based on its vast experiences in the field, and thousands of studies of the best workplaces around the world. Every company is evaluated by a Trust Index; a questionnaire based on five principles to establish an employee’s definition of an ideal working environment. Batelco’s certification is based on direct feedback from all company team members, provided as part of a survey about the workplace experience.

Faisal Aljalahma, Chief Human Resources Officer, at Batelco said: “This is a great achievement and a very proud moment for Batelco. Achieving such a prestigious award for the second year in a row reflects the success of the initiatives and commitment by Batelco in continually transforming our corporate culture and delivering top class development opportunities and benefits.”
