Employee Satisfaction Hits 87% at Yango Group in 9 Markets

Yango Group, a technology leader headquartered in the UAE, has secured the prestigious Great Place to Work® certification in nine of its operating markets. This distinction underscores the strength and inclusivity of its workplace culture. Achieving this recognition across some of the world’s most dynamic and diverse economies highlights the company’s ability to create a unified employee experience despite geographical and cultural differences.

Employee Feedback Driving the Achievement

This certification covers operations in the UAE, Pakistan, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, and Zambia, and is based entirely on anonymous feedback from over 800 employees. According to the assessment by Great Place to Work, an impressive 87% of Yango Group employees in these countries agreed that the company is an exceptional place to work, a score that surpasses global benchmarks.

“We’ve spent the past few years intentionally shaping a culture that’s rooted in shared values, yet flexible enough to work across very different teams, markets, and realities,” said Daniil Shuleyko, CEO of Yango Group. “We’re proud that this approach resonates with our teams — and that so many colleagues feel part of something meaningful, wherever they are.”

A Consistent Culture of Respect and Inclusion

Across all certified markets, employees consistently reported feeling respected, welcomed, and safe in their workplace environment. In Colombia, every single respondent affirmed that individuals are treated fairly regardless of age, gender, race, or sexual orientation. In Pakistan, 95% expressed pride in the company’s contributions to the community, while in Zambia, 97% felt a strong sense of belonging from their very first day.

Commitment to Safety and Fairness

The survey also revealed particularly strong ratings in the areas of physical and emotional safety. 95% of respondents agreed they work in an environment that prioritizes safety, while 94% confirmed fair treatment across genders. As one of the most respected global benchmarks for workplace excellence, the Great Place to Work Certification derives its credibility from being rooted entirely in employee sentiment, making it a transparent reflection of an organisation's culture.

Building Culture Through Connection

For a company operating in fast-growing and often complex emerging markets, these results carry significant weight. Yango’s reach extends from Abidjan to Lahore, and from Lima to Dubai, yet its commitment to nurturing local teams and empowering leadership remains unwavering. The company invests heavily in initiatives that foster collaboration and learning, such as Yangoversity, which unites employees from different countries for shared training, and Go to the Fields, an immersive program that allows employees to work alongside partners on the ground.

Culture as the Foundation for Sustainable Growth

Yango’s approach to workplace culture goes beyond formal programs and corporate messaging. Instead, it is embedded into the company’s operational fabric, serving as the foundation for sustained growth and adaptability. By enabling employees to connect across borders and disciplines, Yango ensures that its culture is not simply maintained but strengthened as the company expands into new markets.
