TCS Named As Global Top Employer For 2024; 9th Consecutive Year To Top The List

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has been recognised as a global top employer by the prestigious Top Employers Institute, according to a statement. The 9th consecutive entry of TCS at the top of the list.

The global certification follows a series of localised 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, TCS said in the statement.

“TCS’ pioneering employee engagement and talent development initiatives have reinforced its position as a global employer of choice for the ninth consecutive year,” the company stated.

Employee-centricity is a core value for TCS, which employs a diverse workforce of 6,03,305 employees in 55 countries representing 153 nationalities (as of December 31, 2023). Women make up 35.7 per cent of its workforce, TCS said.

David Plink, chief executive officer of 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.

Milind Lakkad, chief human resources officer of TCS, said, “To be recognised 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.”
