EMC has been recognized as the best place to work in Saudi Arabia for the second year in a row by the Great Place to Work Institute, a global research and management consultancy. EMC received high marks from employees for providing ongoing professional opportunities and career development, promoting a flexible, friendly environment; and recognizing employees’ collaborative, cohesive energy towards achieving and exceeding results.
EMC in Saudi was further commended for its impressive efforts to go above and beyond its employment obligations under Saudi labor laws. Over the years, EMC has introduced numerous platforms and initiatives such as the Technology Associates program to recruit talented young Saudi nationals, enroll them in training programs followed by a technical mentorship program, to guide them through the early stages of their careers. In addition, through the EMC Academic Alliance Program, EMC continues to reach out to young nationals enrolled at leading universities across the Kingdom and the larger region to equip these students with knowledge about the latest technologies and the skills needed to operate in the constantly changing environments of the future - at absolutely no cost to these students.
Mohamed Talaat, Vice President of EMC Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and Libya, said: “To thrive in our competitive, rapidly changing industry, I always encourage our employees to think of EMC as a people business. All of our success with our products, our services and our customers stems from our EMC people doing what they do best. By maintaining a workplace based on trust, mutual collaboration and teamwork, and by providing opportunities for career growth we have cultivated a winning culture. We are honored to receive this recognition for the second year in a row. This award goes to all members of EMC, Saudi Arabia, for their unwavering dedication and commitment to making EMC one of the best places to work. It is an affirmation of all what we have done and an inspiration for the work we continue to do together.”
