    The internationally recognised Top Employers Institute has certified British American Tobacco as one of the best companies to work for in Africa.

    For East and Central Africa, the award is an honour and serves as recognition of the standards that BAT East & Central Africa continuously strive for.

    "It is an honour to be certified again as a Top Employer 2019 in both Kenya and Africa. Investing in our people is the foundation of our HR strategy, enabling our employees to develop a fulfilling career within BAT and to grow into future leaders," said Razeeah Belath, Area Head of HR for BAT East and Central Africa.
