Doha, Qatar: University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) has been certified as a Great Place to Work for the third consecutive year, following an independent and rigorous evaluation by Great Place to Work Middle East.

The certification process includes an anonymous survey completed by employees and a comprehensive evaluation of organisational practices. This ensures that the recognition is based on genuine employee experiences, providing both job seekers and stakeholders with a credible indicator of an exceptional work environment.

Dr. Salem Al-Naemi, President of UDST, celebrated the achievement, stating, “Earning this prestigious recognition for the third consecutive year is a testament to the passion and dedication of our faculty, staff, and interns. At the UDST, we firmly believe that our people are our greatest asset, and their commitment drives our mission of excellence in applied education and research. Together, we continue to build a workplace that promotes innovation, inclusivity, and growth.”

The Great Place to Work survey evaluates key elements of the workplace environment, including trust among colleagues, leadership quality, communication effectiveness, and other aspects. The University’s exceptional score in this assessment reflects its dedication to a transparent, collaborative, and inclusive work culture, providing employees with the necessary support to achieve success and excellence.

The UDST has established itself as a hub for professional and personal development. Employees have access to a wealth of opportunities, including Professional Development Days held twice annually, featuring workshops, training, and expert-led sessions. They also participate in international conferences and have access to cutting-edge resources. 

The University also prioritises health and well-being through comprehensive initiatives that promote work-life balance. As an FISU Healthy Campus Platinum Label recipient in the MENA region, it demonstrates the advanced quality of its sport and wellness facilities and its ongoing commitment to providing a healthy and sustainable work environment.

With UDST achieving Great Place to Work certification for the third consecutive year, it continues its commitment to encouraging a positive and empowering work environment that supports innovation and excellence while contributing to the development of talent and the creation of future leaders.
