Dubai: Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MBRHE) has set a new global benchmark after being awarded the prestigious Great Place to Work certification, becoming the world’s first housing institution to achieve this recognition.
The Establishment recorded an outstanding 99 percent employee satisfaction score in the Great Place to Work survey for the second year in a row, underscoring its commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture. MBRHE also secured first place in the Middle East within the MEDIUM category, surpassing leading public and private sector organizations across the region.
Mohammed Al Shehhi, Acting CEO of MBRHE, expressed pride in the achievement, stating that,“This global recognition is the result of our leadership’s vision and unwavering commitment to building a workplace that puts people at the heart of its priorities, fostering innovation, creativity, and teamwork. Achieving first place in the Middle East for the second consecutive year reinforces our position as a leading government entity that promotes a healthy, flexible, and sustainable work environment serving both our employees and the wider community.”

The Great Place to Work certification, issued by the US-based global consulting firm Great Place to Work, is one of the world’s most trusted indicators of workplace excellence. The evaluation process spans nearly 100 countries and involves employee surveys and culture assessments across five core dimensions: Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride, and Camaraderie. It also examines sub-dimensions including innovation, adaptability, leadership support, and customer-centricity.
This recognition highlights MBRHE’s dedication to employee happiness, productivity, and institutional competitiveness at both local and global levels. It also reinforces Dubai and the UAE’s reputation as global leaders in government excellence and organizational innovation.
