Africa’s Best Places to Work 2022 invest in employee engagement
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – The recently unveiled Best Places to Work in Africa revealed that the companies that emerged as best employers invest in employee development and engagement.
On December 26, the organization announced the 29 top performing firms in Africa for 2022. Among the top performers for 2022 are Novo Nordisk, a global pharmaceutical company followed by Dell, an American-based technology firm. Groupe Vipp Interstis, a customer Interaction operating across different countries in Africa, landed the third spot. Webhelp, a leading customer relationship and business process outsourcing company, came in the fourth position followed by Nestle, a multinational fast moving consumer goods manufacturer.
The results from this year indicated that the top performing organizations in Africa continued to invest in creating a highly-engaged workforce, with an average engagement score of 83%, compared with a market average of 71%. These organizations are particularly leading the way by creating engaging environments fostering organizational agility, building engaging leaders and demonstrating outstanding people practices and workplace excellence.
The study found that given the present challenges in talent retention, employees who do not see good career opportunities or agree with their organization’s response to their well-being are three times more likely to leave.
