The Best Places to Work organisation has revealed the top 29 performing employers in Africa for 2022.
Topping this year’s ranking is Novo Nordisk, the global pharmaceutical company followed by Dell, the American-based technology company. Groupe Vipp Interstis, a leading service provider in Customer Interaction operating across different countries in Africa, came in the third position. Webhelp, a leading customer relationship and business process outsourcing company, came in the fourth position followed by Nestle, the leading food producer.
The certification programme recently compiled its annual list based on the assessment of over 500 organisations operating across the African continent. Findings from this year indicated that the top performing organisations 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%.
The top 29 companies are particularly leading the way by creating engaging environments fostering organisational agility, building engaging leaders and demonstrating outstanding people practices and workplace excellence. The research has also shown that given the present challenges around talent retention in Africa, employees who do not see good career opportunities or agree with their organisation’s response to their wellbeing are three times more likely to leave.

Congratulating this year’s Best Places to Work in Africa, Programme Manager Hamza Idrissi said “Leading organisations in Africa have demonstrated agility to respond effectively to disruptions while being connected to the needs of their employees. This recognition validates the commitment of several leading employers in Africa to provide their employees with a positive work environment that challenges and encourages them to develop personally and professionally.”
To be considered for this ranking, companies must be identified as an outstanding employer in at least one of the countries across the continent. The ranking was determined based on feedback from employees gathered through anonymous surveys and an HR assessment evaluating the people management practices against the best workplace standards.
