McDonald's has been awarded the "Best Workplace" for 2024 in Saudi Arabia, recognizing the company's diligent efforts in providing a motivating and safe work environment for its employees. This award is a testament to the company's commitment to meeting the needs of its employees, offering an outstanding work environment, and enhancing work-life balance initiatives and professional development opportunities.

In addition to receiving the "Best Workplace for Millennials" certification, a crucial factor in selecting McDonald's as the best workplace for this generation is the high percentage of millennial employees within the company’s workforce.

McDonald's received this award for several reasons, including the company's effectiveness in engaging its employees in decision-making processes, fostering team spirit, and providing professional development opportunities through comprehensive training and development programs that help employees achieve their career goals. Additionally, the company’s supportive strategies for balancing personal and work life played a significant role.

Mohamed Alireza, Deputy General Manager of Reza Food Services Ltd - McDonald's Western and Southern Region and Tabuk, said: "At McDonald's, we always aim to provide employment opportunities for the nation's youth.
