The choice of KPMG as one of the top five best Saudi companies to work for in 2008 is an achievement in itself, said senior partner Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Fozan, emphasizing that this win is due to the successful implementation of the firm's human resources function. Al-Fozan pointed out that this achievement is due to the commitment of all the company's employees and KPMG's great trust in their ability. “ Winning was not a fluke, as the company was also ranked in the top five in the 2007 survey,” he said. “We have met many challenges since the time of our launch in Saudi Arabia, especially when it came to the employment of women,” said Al-Fozan. “As we believe strongly in the role of women as a national necessity in the commercial sector, we ensured that women are given the chance to contribute their part and hired highly qualified Saudi females.” “We now have more than 30 female employees across our offices in the Kingdom.” Describing the work environment at the company as ‘ideal”, Tariq Al-Sadhan, KPMG partner said the company's strategy in this area springs from its philosophy of constantly consulting its employees and listening to their input. This leads directly to new initiatives for the company's development. “Winning this award is a result of the unique environment that the company provides for its employees,” he said. “The company gives a great importance to constant communication between all employees through various means to ensure that everyone is well informed.” “The company also focuses on the continuous development and growth of human resources.” “An open-door policy is one of the most important principles embraced by the company”.
