Metropolitan Group moved up 4 spots in the world-renowned Best Workplaces™ ranking in 2023

Metropolitan Group, which is a leading real estate company in the UAE, ranked sixth by Best Workplaces™ in 2023 in the Small and Medium category, progressing up 4 spots from 2022.

The official list is a ranking of the nation’s top employers, which is compiled in accordance with the confidential feedback of workers and the process of management practices. The rating was announced on March 3rd at the prestigious Address Dubai Marina Hotel.

In 2022, Metropolitan Group became the first real estate brokerage in the UAE to have made the list of the Top 10 Best Workplaces™ medium-sized businesses in the GCC, when it took tenth place. It was also considered the best place for female employees and for millennials in the GCC.

Metropolitan Group has a cohesive corporate culture, making it its top priority to create a supportive atmosphere in the workplace, so that workers are not just a team, but a family. Thanks to this strategy, the company achieved a whopping 85% retention rate, which is very high for the real estate industry.

According to Mike Fleet, Metropolitan Group’s Performance & Development Director, Metropolitan Group feels proud to have moved up the list, and it clearly illustrates the amount of hard work the company has invested to establish a top-class working environment within the company. Metropolitan Group set out 3 years ago to become the best employer in the real estate sector. The group will keep building on its achievements by focusing on training, learning, as well as performance tools that its workers require to do their job the best way possible.

Metropolitan Group is eager to apply Performance Support rather than regular agent training. In line with this strategy, the company is launching specialized skill programs with the most experienced brokers, whilst tutorials are created based on high-performer insights.

It is worth noting that Metropolitan Group introduced plenty of initiatives over the past years, including a fully customized CRM system, which aims to serve the secondary market, as well as a professional development team for both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Also, the company had up to 2,500 training hours last year.

Metropolitan Group prides itself on its outstanding client support, as it achieved more than 250 five-star Google reviews in 2022 and was accoladed with The Gold Trusted Service Award for 2 years in a row based on 200+ Feefo reviews from customers. The five-star reviews are shared in real-time across the entire company to keep employees aware of the client experience.

Metropolitan Group has 3 full-service real estate agencies, including Metropolitan Premium Properties in Dubai, Metropolitan Capital Real Estate LLC in Abu Dhabi and Luxury Immobilien GmbH in Vienna. There is also the Metropolitan Homes division dedicated to the secondary market and Metropolitan Consulting FZE, which provides legal services in the UAE.
