Metropolitan Group, a leading force in the UAE’s real estate sector, has once again earned a place among the Top 10 Best Workplaces™ in the UAE in the large business category, according to Great Place to Work®, a global authority on workplace culture.
This marks the fourth consecutive year the Group has appeared on the prestigious list — and impressively, it remains the only real estate brokerage ever to do so. The accolade reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to building a thriving workplace environment in a high-pressure industry. 
Culture That Drives Results
The ranking is based on confidential employee feedback and a thorough review of company practices. Metropolitan Group’s rise to its highest-ever position in 2024 (up three spots from 2023) shows how consistently it prioritizes people over pressure.
2024: A Year of Purposeful Progress
Last year, Metropolitan Group rolled out several people-centric initiatives designed to uplift employees and foster innovation. These included:
- DRIVE Core Values—A renewed focus on Discipline, Respect, Integrity, Vibrancy, and Excellence. These values are now a part of hiring, day-to-day operations, and employee recognition programs.
- Feedback Culture—Regular surveys and an open-door policy with top leadership ensured employees had a direct say in shaping their work environment.
- Recognition & Rewards—The Metropolitan Stars program showcased top performers with digital deal alerts, a Wall of Fame, and an online employee hub.
- Innovation Programs—Metropolitan Minds inspired over 25 employee-submitted ideas in just two months. We have already implemented several of these ideas.
- Training & Certification—The launch of Metropolitan Online Academy and Metropolitan Essentials equipped team members with cutting-edge skills in sales and client relations.
