How do you actively engage your employees?

At Rewaa, our approach to employee engagement is centered on fostering open communication and a supportive culture. We prioritize platforms like 'Rewaa Listens' to encourage employees to freely express their ideas and concerns. Regular team meetings, one-on-one check-ins, and town hall sessions ensure everyone feels heard and engaged. Additionally, we value recognition and rewards as vital components of our employee appreciation strategy. Our robust program includes both formal and informal acknowledgment, such as shout-outs in meetings and tangible rewards, to celebrate our employees' efforts and achievements.
Professional development is a cornerstone of our employee-centric strategy at Rewaa. We invest in continuous learning opportunities through training programs, workshops, and mentorship to support our employees' career growth.

What are the most significant HR challenges faced by your industry today?

The HR landscape in our industry presents several significant challenges. Attracting top talents globally, especially from leading SaaS companies, poses a constant demand for strategic recruitment efforts. In the Saudi market, grappling with inflation in compensation and benefits adds complexity to maintaining competitive packages. Retaining high-performing individuals is a challenge amidst fierce competition. Additionally, ensuring the effective engagement of remote working employees requires dedicated attention. The ongoing need for automating HR processes through the integration of technology and AI further compounds the dynamic challenges faced by HR professionals in our industry.

Receiving the award for 'Best Workplace Environment' is a reflection of our commitment to empowering every employee to excel in their professional journey by adhering to our principles, which include providing value-added solutions, innovation in products, taking full responsibility, fostering mutual trust, building and maintaining positive relationships.

Could you share details about the teamwork activities offered to your employees?

Rewaa prioritizes fostering a strong sense of teamwork and camaraderie among its employees through a variety of engaging activities. These include special events aligned with cultural and religious occasions such as Eid Al-fitr & Al-adha, Ramadan, Annual Town Hall, and Founding Day. Team-building efforts extend beyond the office, with each department participating in activities designed to strengthen relationships. Icebreaking events like Coffee Day, Tea Day, Pizza Day, Photography Day, Women’s Day, Happiness Day, and Heritage Day contribute to a vibrant and enjoyable workplace culture. Notably, initiatives for international employees aim to enhance loyalty by bringing them to the Saudi headquarters in Riyadh, providing opportunities to connect with colleagues and experience the rich cultural activities Riyadh has to offer, such as group outings to the Riyadh Season event. Additionally, personal occasions like marriages and graduations are celebrated, reinforcing the organization's commitment to recognizing and appreciating the personal milestones of the employees.

Reflect on your experience with the Best Places to Work certification journey

The experience was smooth. We had a chance to reflect on our HR processes, assess what we do, and discover the areas of improvement. Furthermore, employees had the chance to reflect on the leadership and HR practices, compensation and benefits, teamwork and relationships, employee engagement, workplace policies and procedures, and corporate social responsibility.

What advice would you give to someone looking to implement the certification process for their organization?

For organizations considering starting the certification process, it is crucial to first comprehend the value and procedures involved by engaging with representatives from Best Places to Work (BPTW). They must prioritize the development and enhancement of their HR management areas outlined in the BPTW surveys. Applying for the certification early is advised to allow ample time for necessary improvements if the minimum score is not initially achieved, presenting the opportunity to redo the assessments. Organizations must internally market the BPTW certification to ensure all employees recognize its significance in advance, as well as gain leadership and upper management buy-in for the certification process, and strategically plan how and where the achievement will be marketed to maximize the impact.
