The list of the 100 best employers, most respected and admired companies, and the most desired companies in Kenya has been released.

In the list, Safaricom took first place, EABL, followed by the United Nations, KCB and the Kenya Revenue Authority, KRA; in that order.

Some of the metrics used to create this list include how employees felt about working there, the company culture, opportunities for career growth, the level of diversity and inclusion, and lastly, the pay and benefits offered by each company. Others include an open and effective management, a fair reward system for good performance and the prioritizing of health and wellness among employees.

With unemployment being among the top issues Kenyans grapple with, one of the aims of this yearly report is to highlight and celebrate companies that are doing their part in creating exceptional working conditions in the country.

It is also meant to aid in decision making for jobseekers since employee satisfaction is directly proportional to an organization’s overall wellbeing.

In Kenya, employees are most satisfied when they can relate to a company’s vision, have full transparency with management and have flexibility in the execution of their tasks.

Ensuring that staff are happy and satisfied not only increases a company’s productivity but its reputation as well.

Here is the list of the top 100 Companies to work for in Kenya.
