Innovo Group has secured Top Employer 2026 certification from the Top Employers Institute for the second year running. The firm said the certification comes at a time when the company is expanding and investing into workforce wellbeing, technology-enabled operations, and long-term talent development across its UAE operations.
The certification follows an independent assessment across organisational areas, including people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning, wellbeing, and diversity, equity & inclusion.
The firm said that it created over 1,700 jobs across the UAE over the past 12 months, with its workforce now exceeding 17,000 employees representing over 56 nationalities. The company confirmed that women hold 40% of C-suite roles across the group.
Mariam Azmy, Chief People Officer at Innovo Group said, “The strength of any organisation is ultimately defined by its people. In construction, culture, wellbeing and workforce support cannot be treated as standalone HR initiatives. They directly influence safety, productivity, and operational performance. Being recognised as a Top Employer for the second consecutive year reinforces our commitment to building a workplace where people can grow, contribute, and perform at their best.”
Innovo said that it is expanding its dedicated Emirati talent programme across engineering, project management, commercial, technology, and corporate functions, in support of broader UAE workforce development and Emiratisation priorities.
In addition, the firm said it embeds wellbeing and workforce support directly into project environments, and explained that it had established bespoke wellness and training hubs across major UAE construction sites and its head office, creating dedicated spaces for physical wellbeing, learning, and employee development.
Combined with technology-enabled health and safety systems, real-time workforce monitoring, and a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme for employees and their families, the approach reflects Innovo’s belief that workforce wellbeing is integral to safety, productivity, and operational performance, the firm outlined.
