General Poultry Company (GPC), the Kingdom of Bahrain’s leading producer of fresh Table Eggs since 1977, announced that it has officially been certified as a “Great Place to Work®”, the global authority on workplace culture. This independent certification recognizes organizations that create exceptional employee experiences and demonstrates that GPC’s people-first philosophy is more than a statement—it is a proven reality.

“Being recognized as a Great Place to Work is a proud moment for every member of the GPC family,” said Wael Itani, CEO,. “This achievement is built on the dedication of our employees and our belief that a thriving, inclusive workplace is essential to delivering the highest-quality fresh eggs to our customers across the length and breadth of Bahrain. We celebrate and thank them for all they do to earn this incredible recognition.”

“The Great Place to Work certification is based on anonymous employee surveys and an in-depth assessment of workplace practices. Earning this recognition means GPC employees consistently reported high levels of trust in leadership, pride in their work, and strong camaraderie with colleagues. The results underscore GPC’s ongoing investment in employee wellbeing, training and development programs, and open-door communication at every level of the organization” added Wael Itani

Great Place to Work® is the world’s most respected authority on workplace culture. For more than three decades, the organization has used rigorous data and employee feedback to certify workplaces in over 150 countries. Companies that achieve certification meet a global standard for trust, respect, fairness, and empowerment—qualities shown to drive stronger business performance and sustained growth. The certification process is completely independent, providing employees, customers, and partners with an unbiased measure of a company’s workplace excellence.

For over four decades, GPC has been synonymous with quality and freshness, supplying millions of Bahraini households and businesses with farm-fresh eggs every day. This long-standing market leadership is matched by a culture where every employee feels valued and supported, from the farm operations to senior management. Initiatives such as continuous skills training, transparent career pathways, and a strong commitment to health and safety have strengthened engagement across the business.

“GPC’s success has always been powered by our people,” added Ms. Jalila Alsaeed, Manager – HR and Admin. “This recognition validates our efforts to create an environment where everyone learns, grows, and takes pride in their contributions. We see this as a milestone and a motivator to keep raising the bar.”

As consumer expectations evolve and Bahrain’s food industry expands, GPC believes that a high-trust, high-performance workplace is key to meeting future challenges. By fostering collaboration, inclusion and innovation at every level, the company aims to set new standards for both employee satisfaction and customer service.

GPC invites its customers, partners, and the broader community to celebrate this achievement and share in its commitment to excellence.
