Cisco recognised as one of the leading workplaces in the UAE

Cisco has been identified as one of the 'Best Workplaces in the UAE' by Great Place to Work (GPTW) Middle East, climbing up the rankings to reach the second position in this year's list.
Great Place to Work recognized 40 private and five public organisations in the UAE, evaluating their success based on a comprehensive employee satisfaction survey and external audit.
Cisco UAE's recognition comes in part from its adoption of a workplace ethos known as its 'conscious culture'. To create a positive working environment, Cisco ensures that its employees are encouraged to reflect on their practices and become increasingly self-aware. The company believes that greater awareness helps enhance employee trust, empathy and integrity amongst peers.
Cisco's Pavelka Program - a wellbeing initiative focused on providing employees with the advice and resources needed to enable a healthy lifestyle - was also recognised as a key factor. Employees are encouraged to incorporate the program's four key elements: 'eat, sweat, think and connect' into their personal and professional lives to achieve their goals and greater peace-of-mind.
"It is a tremendous source of pride to see Cisco move up the Great Place to Work ranking for a third year running. Our UAE positioning is the culmination of a collective effort, made across all teams, to create a culture which not only attracts, but also retains, mentors and upskills talent. Inspiring and uplifting our employees is our biggest focus," said Shukri Eid, MD of Cisco Gulf Region.
