Marketing Research HCL Info, TCS, Infosys emerge top employers: IDC survey Our Bureau
New Delhi , Sept. 2 HCL Infosystems, Infosys and TCS have emerged as the top employers in the IT segment, according to a survey conducted by International Data Corporation (IDC). The survey lists out the top 20 employers, which includes Wipro, NIIT, IBM and Sun Microsystems. While Infosys is unchallenged on brand equity and remains the company of dreams for the fourth year, the biggest surprise this year is HCL Infosystems, which showed dramatic improvement on employee satisfaction, said a press release. HCL Infosystems received the highest ratings (Five Star). New entrants Hexaware Technologies and Mahindra British Telecom find place in the top 20. Smaller companies such as Cadence, RMSI and Induslogic are giving competition to the biggies when it comes to best HR practices. According to the DQ-IDC Best Employer survey, growth opportunities emerge as the single-largest factor driving job satisfaction. Since 2001, this annual study has been conducted amongst IT companies and information is collected from both the HR departments as well from employees of the participating companies. The compiled data yields the scores used for the final ranking. "The study also revealed that employees across companies in the IT industry are looking for growth, growth and growth. Companies that under performed on this aspect also slipped on employee satisfaction this year. Following closely are work-life balance (flexibility at the workplace), organisation culture and job content," said an IDC release. Compensation has ceased to be the only parameter for satisfaction for some time now and the trend continues this year as well. Smaller companies fare better on overall satisfaction. Larger ones continue to struggle despite great HR policies, IDC said.
