BEST 100 COMPANIES TO WORK FOR 201 9 2019 REPORT 2019REPORT INTRODUCTION The 2019 edition of the annual BrighterMonday Best 100 Companies to Work For features Safaricom in the top spot as the number one best company to work for as well as the most ‘desired’, and ‘respected’ brand. A total of 3,448 valid responses were used in the final analysis with data from two surveys - external and internal. The external survey targeted the general public while the internal survey focused on employees working at numerous companies in Kenya. Majority of the respondents were aged between 25-35 and 18-24, live in Nairobi and hold a Bachelor's degree. A key theme in this edition is ‘employee satisfaction and happiness levels’. We discovered that Kenyans are not entirely happy with their current work situa- tions, with most willing to switch jobs, however, they are willing to provide posi- tive recommendations of their current employers. This could be due to the fact that most Kenyans rate ‘Strong, Relatable Company Values’ highly as a sought after trait and most companies in Kenya are only beginning to adopt strong company values. Another key insight is that the gender pay gap still exists and this is affecting the satisfaction levels amongst women in the workplace, who feel less valued and more likely to switch jobs. This report not only features the nation’s most prestigious companies from various industries, as voted by Kenyans but also serves as a staple benchmark for all prospective employees to assess the key characteristics that make compa- nies top of mind for current and future employees. In addition, the report also provides comprehensive invaluable market insights which can be used to inspire changes towards a better workplace for both employers and employees. BEST 100 COMPANIES Introduction TO WORK FOR 1 201 9 2019REPORT METHODOLOGY We conducted two surveys in the form of an external survey targeted at the general public (External Respondents) while the internal survey focused on employees working at different companies in Kenya (Internal Respondents). The research was conducted online and the survey was shared out via email to our audience of seekers and employers. We asked our respondents the following: Rank the intrinsic traits they desire in a company i.e. these are traits that every com pany must-have. Then we asked them to nominate 3 companies that they feel possess these traits the most. Rank extrinsic traits that they desire in a company i.e. these are traits that are not essential but are nice to have. Then we asked them to nominate 3 companies that they feel possess these traits the most. Nominate 3 companies they admire and respect the most. Nominate 3 companies they desire to work for. To ensure feedback was not based solely on public perception, we also asked the internal respondents to rate their companies based on the intrinsic and extrinsic traits we provided, as well as asked a bunch of questions that gauged their satisfaction levels with their current employer. We combined all these using a unique formula to generate an unbiased ranked list of com- panies who have the most sought after intrinsic and extrinsic traits, who are the most admired and respected, and who are most desired places to work for. This list is the Best 100 Companies to Work for in Kenya. We decided to share 3 lists, based on the research:Best 100 Companies To Work For: This is the definitive list and is made up of companies that respondents think to possess their most desired intrinsic and extrinsic traits. They also admire, respect and desire to work for these companies the most. Best 100 Respected & Admired Companies: These are companies that respondents have the utmost admiration and respect for. Respondents uphold these companies in very high regard. Best 100 Desired Companies: These are companies that respondents would really like to work for. It is interesting to see some names rank for ‘admiration and respect’, and not for ‘desire to work for’ and vice versa. We also provided industry rankings based on the ‘Best 100 Companie sto Work For’ ranking.

The organisation has its headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden and a Regional Office in Nairobi, Kenya, and with country offices in Kampala (Uganda), Mwanza (Tanzania), Kigali (Rwanda) and Kitale (Kenya). Vi Agroforestry’s current strategy 2017-2021 aims to have smallholder farmer families in Sub-Saharan Africa sustainably improve their livelihoods through increased climate change resilience, food security, higher incomes, and greater equality between women and men by 2021.The strategy targets smallholder farmer families living in poverty, with a special focus on women, children and youth, who are members or potential members of democratic farmers’ organisations in areas vulnerable to climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa. The strategy is implemented through the ALIVE programme (2018-2022), within the framework of which all projects and programme interventions are clustered and contribute to the regional result matrix.
