Dubai: Savills United Arab Emirates, a prominent global real estate adviser, has proudly earned the Great Place to Work Certification for 2024. This prestigious achievement underscores Savills’ dedication to fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and empowering work environment across all its UAE offices. With a heritage exceeding 160 years, Savills remains committed to prioritising employee well-being and professional growth as key elements of its success.
Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviours, granted the certification based entirely on feedback from current employees at Savills UAE. The survey revealed that employees felt valued and supported from the moment they joined the company. They highlighted a sense of pride in their work and praised the friendly environment that promotes authentic connections and mutual support among colleagues.
“At Savills, our people are at the heart of everything we do,” said Samar Mallah, HR Director at Savills Middle East. “Earning the Great Place to Work certification reflects our dedication to nurturing a thriving workplace culture and our commitment to evolving our employee proposition, which in turn enables us to continually grow and deliver exceptional service to our clients.”
This recognition coincides with Savills’ ambitious expansion plans announced in early 2024, with a strong focus on the residential agency division. To meet the growing demand in the dynamic UAE real estate market, the Savills Residential Agency division will expand to over 100 property consultants by the end of 2024, led by Andrew Cummings, Head of Residential Agency, Middle East.
Additionally, Savills has strengthened its commercial agency offering by appointing Toby Hall as the new head of Commercial Agency, responding to the significant leasing interest from corporate entities, especially in Dubai.
These extensive expansion efforts reinforce Savills’ commitment to delivering excellence to its clients.
