TCS best employer: Hewitt survey
Business Standard — December 17, 2004

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has topped Hewitt's best employer list this year. "For the company to achieve its vision of being among the top 10 by 2010, it has to continuously strive to spot the talent across the country for leadership role which is both an opportunity and a challenge," said S Ramadorai, managing director of TCS. Another challenge lies in the innovation engine and the importance of constantly fueling it. The journey is constant self development, visibility development.

Ramadorai said, "we have a long way to go and we have to constantly achieve visibility in terms of revenues, productivity and patents that we apply, manpower among other things." He says, "the listing has given a lot more visibility to the company. We are now more so underscrutiny, considering that there are today lot many shareholders. The listing has change a lot for the TCSers too."

272 Indian companies had participated in the Hewitt's study. The selection of the Best Employers in India was based on in-depth questionnaires completed by the CEOs, HR departments and employees of participant organisations, followed by an on-site audit. The best employers are chosen by an independent judging panel.
