About Great Place to Work

Great Place to Work is the global authority on building, sustaining, and recognizing high-trust, high-performing workplace cultures. The Great Place to Work Trust Model is built on 30 years of research and data collected through our Trust Index Survey, which is taken annually by millions of employees worldwide. Great Place to Work serves businesses, non-profit organizations, and government agencies in 51 countries. In the Middle East, Great Place to Work produces the annual Best Workplaces lists in each of GCC Countries.

A great workplace is not just espresso, lush benefits, lunches, grand parties, or nice offices. A culture spurred by a clear sense of purpose, supportive career development, and approachable management is what has positioned Westford as a Great Place to Work.

A strong culture helps us hire faster, bring more A-players onboard, and retain the team that has driven Westford’s past successes as a company. It’s also the driving factor of successful collaboration and enables us to consistently exceed our student’s expectations. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been officially recognized as a Great Place to Work-Certified organization in the UAE.

 

We owe our achievements to the indomitable “people-power” & a die-hard spirit to “serve-with- an- excellence mindset”, that epitomizes “student-centric culture”, residing heavily within the heart, sleeves, and emotive quotient of institution across its talented & knowledgeable faculty members, committed course administrators and its solution-oriented career counsellors team that deserved us in bagging the “Great Place to Work” award for the year 2020-2021, where every Westfordian brought in their best version to elevate the perception & reputation of the organization globally. This year Westford participated only to be pitted against some of the highly acclaimed successful corporations – multinational institutions…which meant that achieving a benchmark higher than the rest of the industry players while receiving the ‘Great Place to Work Award’ was a matter of great honour, respect, accomplishment and pride for each of us
