Every year, more than 10,000 organisations from over 60 countries partner with Great Place to Work® Institute for assessment, benchmarking and planning actions to strengthen their workplace culture. Great Place to Work® Institute’s methodology is recognised as rigorous and objective and considered the gold standard for defining great workplaces across business, academia and government organisations.

All organisations that nominate themselves for India’s Best Companies to Work For list undergo an assessment. As part of this assessment, all organisations are studied through two lenses. The first lens measures the quality of employee experience through their globally validated survey instrument known as Trust Index©. The survey helps in seeking anonymous feedback from employees and carries 2/3rd weightage. The second lens is called Culture Audit©, is a proprietary tool of the Institute that evaluates the quality of an organisation’s people practices, covering the entire employee life-cycle. This carries 1/3rd weightage.

The Institute undertakes a robust validation process on the data gathered through the assessment process. The cumulative score of Trust Index© and Culture Audit© determines an organisation’s position in the ranking scoreboard and helps in identifying ‘India’s 100 Best Companies to Work For’. No individual or jury has a say in who makes it to the Top 100 list—only employee feedback and quality of people practice determine if an organisation is a great workplace.
