GAC Mobile Directory App
GAC Qatar has been named among the top employers for millennials in the Middle East.
Part of Great Place to Work® Middle East initiative, the Best Workplaces for Millennials™ – GCC 2024 list highlights 100 companies of all sizes across the region that excel in fulfilling Gen Y's need for a sense of purpose in the workplace. GAC Qatar was ranked No.21 in the category for medium-sized companies.
Rebels
According to consultancy The Future Laboratory, the first generation to use the internet as children are now hitting their prime earning years while rebelling against traditional nominated life paths.
Compared to previous generations, they are late achievers when it comes to conventional life stages and are experiencing an ongoing wellbeing crisis. But they are also characterised as positive financial movers, work-flexers, wellness boosters and eco-collectivists.
"We have worked hard to create a dynamic and inclusive workplace where the unique skills and talents of every generation are valued,” says Jacob Rubensson, GAC Qatar’s General Manager.
“Our millennial colleagues make up a growing proportion of our workforce, and their energy and innovative ideas are pushing us to further success. It’s therefore important to understand what’s important to them and respond to their needs.”
Balance
Those born from the early 1980s to mid-1990s pioneer the use of technology, emphasise collaboration and are purpose-driven, whilst putting a high premium on work-life balance.
“Those traits, when well combined, bring about work efficiency and wellbeing - and what’s good for our employees is good for our organisation,” says HR & Administration Manager Hristina Georgieva. “That’s why we encourage a corporate culture where everyone is welcome to share feedback, have millennials in key roles leading diverse teams and work to bring out the best of all age groups.”

“GAC ensures that its workspaces are safe, comfortable, and well-equipped, continually maintaining and improving its facilities to support employee well-being and productivity.”

April Rose Lumagui, Accountant
“We spent 40% or more of our day at work, so we are lucky to be part of a Company that supports a healthy life-work balance.
“GAC is not always about work. The company looks after our overall wellbeing with extracurricular activities such as yoga classes, blood donation, sports activities, employee gatherings, and the like. Whenever possible, it conducts timely and relevant seminars such as seminar on mental health awareness, or some basic stretching exercises that we can do at work.”
Stephen Elorm Tse, Customer Service Representative, Freight Services Department
