Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has once again received the Great Place to Work® Certification, awarded by Great Place to Work®, in collaboration with Fortune Magazine. The ranking is based on an independent, large-scale analysis conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute in the UAE. DEWA ranked first among public sector organisations in the UAE for 2025, and also led the large organisations category for 2025 and 2026. This achievement reaffirms DEWA’s leadership in fostering a motivating and inspiring work environment.

“We believe that human capital is the key pillar in achieving our vision and future ambitions. Accordingly, we continue to invest in developing Emirati competencies while providing a work environment that empowers and inspires employees, and enhances their ability to innovate and create. This accomplishment builds on a consistent journey of excellence, with DEWA proudly earning the Great Place to Work recognition every year since 2019. Maintaining this distinction over the years and achieving top rankings across multiple categories is a strong testament to a culture grounded in trust, collaboration, innovation and the continuous pursuit of excellence. It also reflects the commitment of our employees and the team spirit that forms the foundation of DEWA’s success and the sustainability of its excellence,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

Dr Yousef Al Akraf, Executive Vice President of Business Support and Human Resources at DEWA, said: “This recognition reflects DEWA’s success in establishing an integrated, employee-centred work ecosystem. It also highlights top management’s commitment to enhancing employee happiness and supporting Dubai’s sustainable development.”

The certification is based on employee feedback gathered through a comprehensive survey measuring trust levels and overall workplace experience within the organisation.
