The 2025 Khaleej times Best Place to Work awards recorded the highest number of participants in the top employers in the UAE with 100 companies being nominated. The most significant distinguishing attribute of this award is the data-based strategy - to qualify, the organisation must have reached 70 per cent average employee happiness and had to meet minimum participation criteria across the six main Workplace Happiness drivers of WorkL - Reward and Recognition, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Instilling Pride, Job Satisfaction, and Wellbeing.
On the achievement, Adel Sajan, managing director of Danube Home, remarked: "This award is a reflection of the culture we have worked so hard to build - one grounded in respect, purpose, and genuine care for our people. Our employees are our greatest asset, and every initiative we implement, every policy we refine is guided by their well-being. This award tells us we are on the right path, and it only strengthens our resolve to raise the bar even further."
“This honour belongs to every single member of the Danube Home family. We have always believed that when you take care of your people, your people take care of your business,” said Sayed Habib, director of Danube Home.
