“Companies that go beyond strategic workplace programmes to create a conducive work environment have been seen to have a positive impact on the employee’s perception of the organization,” Kumar added.
Nearly 63 per cent of job seekers say that online company reviews by current and former employees are the most important factor when trying to decide whether to apply for a role at a company.
The top workplaces on the list this year continue to be MNCs – “a clear indication that despite economic shifts, Indian job seekers still see greater scope for career advancement and work exposure in large international firms”.
According to the report, the companies that are featured this year have worked consistently to cater to the needs of their employees so that they can achieve the career trajectory they desire, in addition to having satisfying work experience, as evidenced by employee ratings on their Company Pages.

Nearly 95 per cent of job seekers say it is important to have access to up-to-date information about a company during the evaluation stage.
