India’s Best Companies To Work For 2024

Backed by more than 30 years of data, Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture. Great Place To Work’s methodology, derived from years of studying the best workplaces across the globe, is recognised as rigorous and objective and is considered the gold standard for defining great workplaces across business, academia, and government organisations. The proprietary methodology and platform enable leaders to truly capture, analyze and understand the experience of every employee, and compare outcomes with data collected from more than 20 million employees in 179 countries worldwide.

Great Place To Work’s For All™ Methodology is based on fast-changing competitive landscapes, the need for speed and agility, and the idea that healthy business is about improving results by creating workplace cultures where leaders empower all individuals to reach their full potential and where every employee feels a sense of belonging regardless of their demography.

All organisations that nominate themselves for India’s Great Mid-size Workplaces list undergo an assessment. This assessment aims at studying the ways in which organisations completely channelise their people power and create inclusive workplaces through effective leadership, meaningful values, and a culture where all employees experience high levels of trust, such that each employee is able to bring their best self to work.

As part of this assessment, all organisations are studied through two lenses. The first lens measures the quality of employee experience through our globally validated survey instrument known as the Trust Index™ Survey and carries 75% weightage. The survey helps in seeking anonymous feedback from employees and aims to measure the core of what creates great workplaces — key behaviours that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. The For All model not only looks at the aggregate employee experience of an organisation but also measures the differences in survey responses across demographic groups and roles within each organisation to assess both the quality and consistency of the employee experience.

The second lens is called Culture Audit™; it is a proprietary tool of Great Place To Work that evaluates the strength of the leadership as supported by meaningful values & philosophy and the quality of practices & programs that shape employee experience, build consistent levels of trust and enable each individual to fulfil their potential to better organisational performance. This carries 25% weightage. This tool comprises six questions that provide greater insight into how and why the organisation is great for all people.

Criteria for selecting the Best Workplaces:

• TRUST INDEX – 75% weightage (An employee survey seeking anonymous feedback)
• CULTURE AUDIT – 25% weightage (A study of the people practices of an organisation)

Great Place To Work undertakes a robust validation process on the data gathered through the assessment process. The cumulative score of the Trust Index and Culture Audit determines an organisation’s position in the ranking scoreboard and helps in identifying “India’s Great Mid-size Workplaces’. No individual or jury has a say in who makes it to the Top 100 list—only employee feedback and quality of Culture Audit determine if an organisation is a great workplace.
