LinkedIn said, “These are companies offering stability in our ever-changing world of work – the ones that are not only attracting employees but retaining them.

Commenting on the report, Tunde Ajetomobi, Country Manager, Turn Left Media – the Exclusive Partner to LinkedIn Marketing Solutions in Nigeria, said, “This report reflects the evolving relationship between organisational culture and employee retention. It also shows that the dynamics around talent acquisition and retention remain a core component which organisations must continue to take more seriously and prioritize in their strategic goals.
“As we all can see, the work environment has fully evolved, the future of work we always talked about is here, the aftermath of COVID-19 made sure of that. Job candidates are increasingly choosing their companies as they continue to adapt by taking on new skills, even as businesses are adapting to new consumer expectations and behavior by leveraging web tech to drive effective brand positioning.
“These rankings are intended to spur organisations in Nigeria to pay closer attention to organizational culture, bearing in mind that competition over quality talent never ceases.”
He added that companies looking to improve their competitive edge have a great opportunity to leverage LinkedIn’s suite of resources to position their brands more favorably to attract and retain quality talent.

We collect valuable data and resources which are very important in making strategic decisions for businesses,” he added.
