The Company was also listed amongst Top 100 Workplaces in India. The Great Place to Work Survey was carried out amongst 700 organizations across 20 industries in India.

Great Place to Work® Institute, the world’s largest and most respected study of workplace excellence , has recognized Ericsson’s commitment towards fostering a culture of trust within the organisation that attracts and nurtures the best talent and encourages them to excel in performance.

The ranking reflects how employees feel about working at Ericsson. The Workplace Award also takes into consideration an extensive culture audit, providing evaluators with insight into a company’s value system, programs and practices in the areas of hiring, communication, employee development and Company celebrations.

Amitabh Ray, Head of Global Services India and Managing Director, Ericsson India Global services states, “The recognition that Ericsson receives as a great employer reinforces the value we place on our people and their growth.

To pick the ‘Top Companies to Work for in India’, the Great Place to Work Institute conducts an evaluation of each participating company. Two-thirds of the company’s score is based on the results of the Institute’s Trust Index employee survey, which is sent to the employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about the management’s credibility, employee engagement and job satisfaction. The remainder of the scoring is based on the company’s responses to the Institute’s Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring, communication, and development.

Ericsson India has implemented several initiatives for the employees which reinforce its drive to build a great workplace. The company has best-in-class learning solutions required to develop competence and leadership. It has also strengthened leadership engagement and communication channels by creating forums for employees to connect and voice their opinions. Ericsson places a strong focus on building a Diverse and inclusive culture. In addition to creating a Global Diversity and Inclusion Council in 2013, the Company regularly comes up with programs aimed at enhancing organization’s practice and commitment towards this ambition.
