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.
