- (1888PressRelease) March 19, 2014 - London/Noida - For the eighth successive year, CRF Institute recognised HCL Technologies as one of Britain's Top Employers for its employee friendly HR policies and practices. The award ceremony was attended by the business leaders and HR experts from across industries in London on March 11th.
The certification is based on detailed independent research conducted by the CRF Institute, which validated HCL Tech's outstanding HR policies, practices and employee-driven initiatives. Companies were judged on the basis of their scores in the HR related activities, which include Primary and Secondary Benefits, Company Culture, Training and Development, Working Conditions and Career Development.
"It is a matter of immense pride for us to receive the award yet again. The recognition reinforces that the tenets of our management model - Employee First, Customer Second, continue to create a distinctive experience for people working at HCL in United Kingdom" said Prithvi Shergill, Chief Human Resources Officer, HCL Technologies. "Over the last year we have refreshed our performance, learning, reward, career and talent management processes to reflect our culture of 'ideapreneurship™' that engages , enables and empowers people to ideate, decide and act. We remain committed to 'invert the pyramid' and support our people in creating value for our clients and stakeholders making our workforce the differentiator in our strategy", he added.
Eleanor Nickerson, Manager of UK Operations for Top Employers Institute said, "In 2013 we've seen trends of the last couple of years starting to come to fruition with many Top Employers starting to reap the results from the coaching, mentoring, and apprenticeship programmes they've implemented."
"We're seeing a heavier focus on succession planning, in particular with companies developing their current and future leadership. Many of our certified companies have developed creative and inclusive leadership programmes that help to develop their top talent and ensure that it's a win-win situation - you have engaged employees who have an exciting and rewarding career path ahead of them, and organisations with talented, long-term leadership that's aligned with their business."
ideaprenuership™, HCL's distinctive culture strengthens the sense of purpose with which work is done, encourages autonomy and builds mastery in the workforce that leads to organizational and in turn individual growth. The unique culture has led to acclaim by the industry experts of innovation seen in functional areas across talent development, acquisition and HR technology. Recently, HCL has received the 2014.
Leadership Award awarded by UN Women and UN Global Compact to recognize it as a champion of the articulated Women's Empowerment Principles.
