Testimonial from Olivier Bordes, MD Middle East, EDF power solutions.

“The entry process for the 2024 Khaleej Times Best Places to Work Awards was straightforward. It gave our employees a clear and meaningful way to share their views, fostering a stronger sense of belonging and helping us reflect on our culture. It also opened the door for us to identify potential improvements that can further strengthen our employee value proposition.

At EDF we proud ourselves on being a purpose driven organisation where employees find meaning in their work and contribute to projects that positively impact both people and the environment. We nurture an open and inclusive dialogue, inspiring our teams to innovate, grow and reach their full potential. Receiving this recognition from the Khaleej Times is a proud moment that affirms the quality of our people and reaffirming that we are implementing high international standards in terms of inclusivity, diversity and responsibility.

Since winning the award, we have seen even greater engagement and awareness across our workforce, along with consistently high talent retention. We have also expanded our wellness programmes, supporting mental health, physical fitness and stress management, ensuring our people feel supported both at work and beyond. Our employees describe EDF as a place where they feel valued, empowered and proud to belong to an organisation that celebrates who they are, what they do and how they balance their professional and personal lives.”
