Metropolitan Group makes the list of top 3 Best Workplaces

Metropolitan Group, an industry titan in the real estate world of the United Arab Emirates, has recently been bestowed an exemplary recognition. The company was ranked the 3rd Best Workplace™ in the year 2024, a prestigious title awarded in the Largesized Business category. This acknowledgment is the result of rigorous assessment by the globally acclaimed authority on workplace culture, known as the Great Place To Work Institute.

Metropolitan Group, with its impeccable performance and exceptional work environment, continues to write its unique narrative, being the first and only real estate brokerage to ever make its way onto this esteemed list. The official index, a reliable tool which ranks the best employers in the UAE, is compiled based on confidential feedback provided by employees. It also conducts a thorough audit of management practices and the overall culture at work.

In the preceding year, 2023, Metropolitan Group achieved an impressive 6th place as the Best Workplace in the UAE. Moreover, the company was given the title of #1 Best Place to Work for Women in the GCC in 2022. It also managed to secure a spot on the Best Workplaces list for millennials in the GCC for two consecutive years.

One of the key driving forces behind the Group’s success in 2023 was its generous investment in Human Resources (HR). This department underwent a strategic transformation to form a new People, Performance and Culture Team. This team is dedicated to prioritising the needs of the employees and fostering a high-performance workplace culture that encourages growth and job satisfaction.

The Deputy CEO of Metropolitan Group, Mike Fleet, shed light on the agency’s initiatives in 2023. The company embarked on an ambitious journey to redefine its corporate identity by creating a new standalone HR brand. Internally, this initiative was designed to embody the company culture, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose among employees. On an external front, the strategy is aimed at driving brand awareness and position Metropolitan Group as a top destination employer for skilled talent in the competitive job market.

This transformation is grounded in the newly designed HR operating system. This system, unlike its predecessor, is not just about providing basic HR employee services. It was crafted to provide insightful data about the personnel, enabling informed, science-driven decision-making processes.

The CEO of Metropolitan Group, Nikita Kuznetsov, emphasised that the company's mission is to be recognised as the premier brokerage for real estate services in the entire United Arab Emirates and the first choice of employment for the real estate community.

As the company continues to expand, its commitment to providing employees with optimal working conditions remains unwavering. To exemplify this, a staggering 100,000 sq. ft of state-of-the-art office space was inaugurated in five key locations across the UAE. This initiative symbolises the company's commitment to investing in top-tier infrastructure that will support Metropolitan Group’s team in delivering exceptional real estate services.
