Tata Steel has been adjudged as a Great Place to Work organisation in India for the record fifth time by Great Place to Work Institute. The annual certification from the Great Place to Work Institute recognises Tata Steel’s efforts towards building an organisation of 'High-Trust and High-Performance Culture'.

Significantly, over the years, Tata Steel has introduced several path-breaking policies, practices, and initiatives for various segments of the workforce. The company has been constantly innovating and pioneering people practices in the realms of hiring, engagement, diversity and inclusion, rewards and recognition, employee relations, social security, and career development.

This year, one of the remarkable achievements of the company was that it successfully onboarded 14 transgenders in core mining operations and 38 women heavy earth moving machinery operators in a path breaking initiative. The company has been pioneering worker welfare schemes and community initiatives even during the pandemic and introduced the Agile Working Model in 2020.

Earlier this year, Tata Steel was named as one of ‘India’s Best Employers Among Nation-Builders’, by Great Place to Work India in a special category introduced in 2021, as a part of a national study.

Expressing his pleasure over this rare recognition, Atrayee Sanyal, vice-president (Human Resource Management), Tata Steel, said, “We are honoured to be certified as a Great Place to Work for the fifth time. We have always believed in building and nurturing an organisation that is driven by a high standard of performance. When it comes to workforce management, we've always tried to set new standards with our pioneering initiatives. Reviving from the effects of the pandemic, the Great Place To Work certification is a testament to our efforts of building a high trust, high performance and highly engaged workforce. The increase in the trust index score reflects the faith of our people in the organization."

For more than 114 years, Tata Steel has emerged as one of the most employee-friendly companies in the world and is known for creating industry standards in the field of human resources.

The company has been a pioneer in employee welfare schemes and community initiatives, even before the legislation mandated them. A few of these include the eight-hour workday, leave with pay, workers’ provident fund scheme, all of which were adopted by the International Labour Organisation and enacted by the law in India.

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.
