In order to provide a comprehensive rating of employee satisfaction and commitment across employers in the country, Nigeria’s top employment website, Jobberman.com is here again with the 2017 survey for the “Best 100 companies to work for in Nigeria.”
As unemployment continues to rise owing to over four million graduates flooding the Nigerian labor market annually, job seekers and employees alike are taking extra caution to identify companies that will most benefit them in their careers. These companies guarantee job security, competitive remuneration with attractive incentives, a suitable working and learning environment, prestige and opportunities for ascension along their career ladders.
In the last edition, a lot of companies that were on the 2015 list did not emerge as one of the top companies but instead, new companies came top.
“The Best 100 initiative started about 4 years ago to reward some of the best companies in Nigeria across all sectors. It puts a lot of premium on companies that have good employee engagement and have some of the best practices for employee retention across Nigeria,” said Ayodeji Adewunmi, CEO of Jobberman.

Methodology for the 2016 survey
Only responses from employed respondents were considered. All respondents were classified according to Age Bracket, Seniority Level, Monthly Salary and duration at the company. Only seniority level had a weighting and impact in the final results with the senior level carrying the most weighting and entry-level carrying the least. Only companies confirmed to have above 50 employees were considered in the final result of the 2016 edition of the survey.
Respondents were asked to rate their current employer on the following satisfaction metrics, using a 5-point system ranging from Not Satisfied to Very Satisfied:
- Benefits and Perks
- Work-Life Balance
- Company Location
- Career Growth Prospects
- Company Management
- Brand Reputation
- Office Design
- Staff Welfare
- Job Security
- Monthly Salary
- Employee Relationship
- Personality of CEO
- Gender Equality
- Organisational Structure
“It is important to bring out their stories and understand what makes these companies unique and special. For instance, it was interesting to see that in 2016, multinationals had better employee engagement strategies than local companies,” Ayodeji Adewunmi said while speaking on the Best 100 Companies to Work For in Nigeria.
