Tata Steel has been certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ in India by the Great Place to Work® Institute under the category of ‘Large organisations with over 500 and less than 50,000 employees’.

Every year, over 10,000 organizations from around 60 countries partner the 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 a rigorous and objective process to measure work culture.

The annual certification from the Great Place to Work® Institute recognises the steel major’s efforts towards building an organisation of high trust, high performance.

Tata Steel’s vice-president (human resource management) Suresh Dutt Tiwary said they were honoured to be certified as a Great Place to Work.

“Tata Steel...places a premium on investing in a culture of nurturing trust and employee empowerment as the cornerstones of high-performance. This fundamental philosophy has remained unchanged over the years and we have worked to keep it relevant with changing times and employee aspirations,” she said.

Over the years, the steel major has introduced path-breaking policies, practices and initiatives for various segments of its workforce such as a five-day working week, menstrual leave, paternity leave, adoption leave, satellite office operation and employee assistance programme to name a few.

This month, Tata Steel rolled out an HR policy that enables colleagues from the LGBTQ+ community to declare their partners (people of the same sex living like a couple) and get HR benefits permissible under law.
