- Leaders in energy make up 4 of the KSA Top Companies
- More than 50% of the list features financial institutions and healthcare companies in KSA
Riyadh: – LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, released its annual Top Companies list for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The coveted list is developed each year to help professionals navigate the new world of work by spotlighting the best workplaces for them to advance their careers.
This year, LinkedIn launched the list across 35 markets, their largest expansion to date. Identifying the top companies is more relevant than ever as economies and organizations across the globe emerge into a post-pandemic world of work. All selected companies 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 KSA list predominantly features local giants in the finance and healthcare sectors, such as Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group, Bank Albilad and Dallah Hospital. HSBC newly joined the Top Companies list and made the top 4 in both KSA (#2) and UAE (#4), highlighting a renewed, consistent employee experience.
With Saudi Arabia committing to net zero commissions by 2060, there is an increase in the demand for jobs in the energy and oil sector. This year’s list reflects the momentum with Saudi ARAMCO, GE, and Schlumberger all remaining in the ranking.
LinkedIn aims to guide professionals to companies that invest in employee success, career development, and gender diversity as the world enters a new world of work. Lynn Chouman, Senior News Editor at LinkedIn, said “It is exciting to witness companies keep pace with the transformation of the modern workplace – and our data is reflecting that. Seeing new rankers make up 66% 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.”
She added, “While it is important we celebrate organizations that remained an employer of choice amid economic uncertainty, the list also aims to inform professionals on the best places to work in KSA.”
