Ayla Oasis Development Company has officially announced that it has been awarded the globally recognized EDGE Certification, marking a significant milestone that reflects its strong commitment to advancing equity, diversity, and gender equality in the workplace, and reinforcing its position as a regional leader in this field.

EDGE Certification, which stands for Equity, Diversity, and Gender Equality, is one of the world’s leading standards for assessing organizations’ commitment to gender equality and inclusion . Ayla’s achievement follows a rigorous and structured process that included in-depth data analysis, comprehensive policy reviews, and, most importantly, active employee engagement and feedback to foster a more inclusive and equitable work environment.

This places the company among a distinguished group of institutions, driving meaningful change and promoting equality and inclusion through measurable and results-driven approaches.

This recognition underscores Ayla’s commitment to four key pillars that form the foundation of its human resources strategy: achieving gender balance across all stages of talent development, ensuring pay equity and transparency, enabling fair and equal career advancement opportunities, and fostering a truly inclusive workplace where all employees feel valued and a strong sense of belonging.

Commenting on this achievement, Eng. Sahl Dudin, Managing Director of Ayla, stated: "Achieving EDGE Certification marks a pivotal milestone in Ayla’s journey and reflects our vision of building a workplace grounded in fairness and empowerment. This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of our team and the collaborative spirit that defines our organization.”

He added: "We see this milestone not as a destination, but as a starting point for continued growth and innovation in our institutional practices, ensuring a sustainable, fair, and motivating work environment for all our employees.”

Ayla reaffirms its commitment to advancing this journey by continuously developing policies and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion, empower talent, and align with global best practices, further strengthening its position as a forward-looking organization that creates a workplace where diversity is celebrated, equity is practiced, and every individual has an equal opportunity to thrive..
