Tata Consultancy Services has been named as the top employer in Europe
for the third consecutive year by an employers certification agency,
citing the Indian IT major as an "exceptional performer" in nine core
human resources areas.
TCS, the leading IT services, consulting and
business solutions organisation, has been certified as the leading
employer in eight European countries - the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway by Top Employers
Institute.
The company has been recognised as an exceptional
performer across nine core human resources areas -- talent strategy,
workforce planning, onboarding, learning and development, performance
management, leadership development, career and succession management,
compensation and benefits, and organisational culture.
TCS was ranked as the overall number one in a process that assessed 688 organisations across Europe.
Only
companies that have been certified as a top employer in at least five
individual countries in Europe are eligible for the award.
In the
UK, the company secured the certification for the fifth year in a row
while it was certified for the third consecutive year in Belgium, the
Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, and for the second time in Sweden
and Denmark.
For the first time, the company was certified in Norway.
