Alef Education, the UAE-based global EdTech provider, has been certified as a Great Place to Work following a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work, a globally recognised expert in workplace culture assessment. This prestigious certification is a testament to Alef Education’s commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture where employees feel safe and valued.

The Great Place to Work certification recognises companies that demonstrate exceptional employee satisfaction and high levels of engagement and work tirelessly to foster a welcoming and supportive work environment. As part of the assessment process, employees from various departments were surveyed to determine their satisfaction and gather valuable insights to help Alef Education improve its work environment. 


325 employees across various departments took part in the survey and reported high levels of employee satisfaction


According to the survey results, 95 % of employees reported that their workplace was physically safe, while 92 % confirmed they had adequate access to tools and resources to do their jobs effectively. Furthermore, 92 % of employees reported being treated fairly in the workplace, regardless of their position, and 90 % of employees expressed pride in working for the organisation. The same percentage also reported that new employees were welcomed and trained in a positive environment.

Geoffrey Alphonso, CEO of Alef Education, commented: “We are honoured to be recognised as a Great Place to Work-certified company, which reflects the passion and talent of our team to make Alef Education an exceptional place to work. This recognition underscores our commitment to creating an exceptional workplace for our employees.
