Joseph Weiss, IAI’s President & CEO: We are perceived by employees as a high-tech innovative and exciting company, that combines professional challenges with significant contributions for the sake of national security
BDI’s rankings of the top 100 best companies to work for were published this morning. Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) was ranked in the top ten, alongside companies like Google, Intel, Teva, HP and others. The company made the biggest leap among the companies listed; it increased its placing by 10 places from last year.
IAI’s high ranking can be attributed to a long list of changes made in recent years, as well as to many actions taken to refresh the company’s image, development of work processes, empowerment and advancement of employees.
Joseph Weiss, IAI’s President & CEO, said: “We are honored to receive official recognition to what we have been witnessing for the past few years among those employees who join us and among longer-serving employees. IAI offers its employees technological challenges at a level that no company in Israel, and few in the world are able to offer to outstanding university graduates and those engaged in various fields of technology. This combination of professional challenges with meaningful work – in terms of activities to advance the security of the State of Israel, makes IAI a company many strive to reach. This ranking is a testimony of how IAI’s image has been changing in recent years, and how it is viewed by the public, its employees, and customers as a leading, innovative high-tech company”.
Additional factors which can be credited for the company’s high ranking include, stable promotion prospects offered to employees for growth and development in various roles in all fields of activity within the company; a work environment that offers long-term job security; a wide range of welfare benefits planned accordingly for employees and their families; and the investment of many resources in the development and training of employees in both professional and personal terms.
Over the last two years, IAI has placed considerable emphasis on the subject of integrating minorities within the company, promoting women’s empowerment and advancement to managerial positions, and deepening IAI’s community service activities and social responsibility.
