About the Best Place to Work Award

The award was a result of the Best Place to Work Survey conducted by the Pakistan Society of Human Resources Management (PSHRM) and Engage Human Resources, a human resources consultancy, to serve as a marker of top talent trends in employer expectations, retention and attrition in Pakistan. A hundred of employees from more than 20 companies voluntarily participated in the survey. Employees of the participating companies were interviewed to rate their organization on their ability to engage, align and develop its people.
