This report which complied responses by over 20, 000 African professionals on questions relating to employee engagement and employment conditions. Opportunities to learn new skills, quality of healthcare provisions, leadership and opportunities for advancement came top as important indicators of outstanding employers.

The Managing Director of the Global Career Company and co-author of the survey with UK-based firm Willis Towers Watson commented that: “The importance of making a positive impact came through strongly in responses to the Study. This, together with the on-going organisational transformation at the African Development Bank, explains the continued high esteem in which the Bank (as an employer) is viewed by many African professionals worldwide”. The President of the African Development Bank, Mr Akinwunmi Adesina, whose firm came 4th; said that “the ranking is further validation of the work of the Board and Management to accelerate critically needed institutional changes and efforts to attract the best and the brightest to help implement the Bank’s High-5 agenda to Power Africa, Feed Africa, Industrialize Africa, Integrate Africa, and Improve the quality of life of Africans.” The Bank performed excellently in attracting top talents from across all Africa. It also retained its position in the top 5 of established corporate and multilateral organizations.
