Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has once again earned the "Best Workplace" certification, awarded by the American organisation Great Place to Work® in partnership with Fortune magazine, based on a comprehensive and independent assessment conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute in the United Arab Emirates.
DEWA ranked first nationally among government entities for 2025, and also came first among large organisations for both 2025 and 2026.
His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), said: "We believe that human capital is the fundamental pillar for achieving our vision and future ambitions.
"From this foundation, we continue to invest in developing national talent and providing a work environment that empowers, inspires, and enhances employees' capacity for innovation and creativity. This achievement is a continuation of a journey of sustained excellence, as DEWA has received the 'Best Workplace' certification annually since 2019.
"Maintaining this distinction over the years, and achieving top rankings across several categories, embodies the positive and inspiring institutional culture built on trust, collaboration, innovation, and the constant pursuit of excellence. It also reflects the dedication of our workforce and the team spirit that forms the foundation of DEWA's success and the sustainability of its excellence."
Dr Yousef Al Akraf, Executive Vice President for Business Support and Human Resources at Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), said: "This recognition reflects DEWA's success in establishing an integrated work system that places employees at the heart of its priorities, and the senior management's commitment to enhancing employee happiness, contributing to the advancement of sustainable development in Dubai."
It is worth noting that the Great Place to Work® certification is based on employee opinions and feedback through a comprehensive survey that measures levels of trust and the work experience within the organisation.
