This was disclosed by LinkedIn, a global professional network company, in a statement issued and seen by Nairametrics on Tuesday.

According to LinkedIn, the companies offer stability in the ever-changing world of work, as they are not only attracting employees but retaining them.

The list includes companies in financial services, information technology, consumer goods, food and beverages, oil and gas, telecommunications, professional services and internet services.

Access Bank came first in the ranking, followed by GTB, Stanbic IBTC, Zenith Bank, Anheuser-Bush Inbev and Union Bank of Nigeria.

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.

“LinkedIn data across seven pillars, each revealing an important element of career progression: the ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity and spread of educational backgrounds.”

Report methodology Companies that were eligible for the ranking included firms with at least 500 employees as of December 31, 2021, and an attrition rate no higher than 10 per cent from January to December 2021. The methodology timeframe used was based on LinkedIn data.

Companies with layoffs of more than 10 per cent of their workforce during that time, based on public announcements, were not considered in the ranking.

Majority-owned subsidiaries and data about those subsidiaries are incorporated into the parent company score.
