Bangalore, India - July 17, 2014:
Wipro Ltd. (NYSE:WIT), a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company today announced that it has been recognized as the ‘Best Company to Work For’, among Super Sized Organizations (organizations with more than 50,000 employees) in India, in the 2014 edition of Great Place To Work® Institute India’s Best Companies To Work For – a study by Great Place To Work® Institute and The Economic Times. The study covered more than 550 Indian and multinational companies across the private and public sectors as well as not-for-profit organizations, from over 20 industry sectors.
The study recognized Wipro for inspiring trust and instilling pride among its employees, and for creating an environment within the workplace that promotes camaraderie.
This was the eleventh year of the Great Place To Work® study in India and over 1,70,000 employees responded to their employee survey in the 550 organizations. The study uses an employee–centric framework that measures the levels of Trust, Pride and Camaraderie prevalent in an organization through Trust Index©, a proprietary employee tool developed by the Great Place To Work® Institute. Along with employee feedback, the study assessed management practices of the organisations using a people practice assessment framework.
T K Kurien, CEO & Member of the Board, Wipro Ltd said, “We are proud to be recognized as a ‘Best Company to Work For’, among Super Sized Organizations by the Great Place To Work® Institute and The Economic Times. At Wipro, we strive to build a work-place that fosters growth, innovation and one that is both diverse and inclusive.”
Mr. Prasenjit Bhattacharya, CEO, Great Place To Work® Institute India said, “While creating and sustaining a great workplace seems no longer a choice for organizations, but an imperative to success, how does an organization embark on this journey remains a critical question. In many cases, the journey starts with a clear commitment made by the organization’s leadership team – to make this one of the top three goals for the organization. We congratulate Wipro and all other organizations that made it to this list.”
