Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has been recognized as a Global Top Employer by the Top Employers Institute, a global authority that honours excellence in people practices.
TCS’ pioneering employee engagement and talent development initiatives have reinforced its position as a global employer of choice for the ninth consecutive year, a statement said.
The global certification follows a series of localized certifications with TCS being named a top employer in 32 countries and regions, including Europe, the UK, the Middle East, North America, Latin America, and South-East Asia. Steered by the values of the Tata Group, TCS is dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive workplace with extensive development opportunities and well-being initiatives. Employee-centricity is a core value for TCS, which employs a diverse workforce of 603,305 employees in 55 countries representing 153 nationalities (as of December 31, 2023). Women make up 35.7% of its workforce.
David Plink, Chief Executive Officer, Top Employers Institute, said, “TCS is a longstanding certified Top Employer. Starting country by country, then regional and now for years already a leading Global Top Employer. This is a testament to the people-centricity and vision at TCS. A true partnership between employer and employees.”
TCS was certified as a top employer based on a rigorous HR Best Practices Survey that evaluated six fundamental HR domains and 20 topics, including work environment, diversity and inclusion, talent acquisition, people strategy, well-being, and learning. While TCS excelled in all categories, it received special appreciation for two industry-first initiatives—the Engagement with Purpose framework and the TCS Elevate program for people development. The ‘Engagement with Purpose’ framework redefines employee engagement by focusing on the holistic well-being of employees. TCS employees have benefitted from the various lifestyle, social, community and learning initiatives. TCS Elevate, a learning-based talent transformation program calibrated to cater to all levels, has fuelled the career growth trajectory of 428K+ employees so far, according to the statement.
Milind Lakkad, Chief Human Resources Officer, TCS, said, “To be recognized as a global top employer by the Top Employers Institute is a validation of our talent engagement and transformation practices across the globe. While it is humbling to receive this certification for the ninth consecutive year, it is satisfying to see TCS honoured on a world stage for its people practices. Employer brand is very important to TCS, and we are proud to report industry-best retention rates. Our ability to attract, nurture, and retain the best talent is a major advantage for us and our customers see the benefits of these investments every day.”
