Dubai Police recognized by Great Place to Work

The Dubai Police General Command has been officially recognized as the best place to work for 2020 by the Great Place to Work®, a global research, training and consultancy firm that identifies the best workplaces in over 50 countries worldwide.

The official list ranks the best employers based on the confidential feedback of employees and an audit of management policies and practices.

“What sets Dubai Police apart fundamentally are our strategically built Happiness programs that seek to ensure the highest levels of happiness amongst the force’s employees and their families. These initiatives not only address challenges but also create an emotional connection with the organization and internal teams,” the Commander-in-chief of Dubai Police, Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, said in a congratulatory statement.

Lt. General Al Marri added that “most programs that we work with are born out of experiences or personal communication with employees at the office and field level. Feedback-aided communication helps give management an understanding of the needs and requirements to keep our employees happy in the long run and create a fair work system that promises to take care of their growth in the organization.”

The Dubai Police General Command obtained the accreditation certificate as the best work environment for the second conductive year after it won it in 2019, as in 2019 Dubai Police was considered the first police and government agency to obtain accreditation at the local and global levels.

The Dubai Police’s workplace index has increased to 95% on the “Great Place to Work” survey after it had scored 90% in 2019.

To select the ‘Best Workplaces”, Great Place to Work conducts an evaluation of each participating company. Two-thirds of the company’s score is based on the results of the Institute’s proprietary Trust Index© survey, which is sent to the employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about the management’s credibility, employee engagement and job satisfaction. The other third of the scoring is based on the company’s responses to the Institute’s Culture Audit©, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefits programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring, communication, and development.

Each entry is judged according to performance in eight key areas: Leadership, wellbeing, giving something back, personal growth, fair deal and how members of staff feel towards their manager, company and team.
