Infosys recognised as a top employer in Europe

Infosys, the second largest IT services company in the country, has been recognised as Top Employer in Europe for its excellence in employee conditions by global certification company  Top Employers Institute.

This is the first time Infosys applied for this certification, and in its maiden year, the company has been recognised across key countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland.

In addition, Infosys has been certified as one of the best companies to work for on the continent, winning the most prestigious Top Employer award in Europe.

The certification further demonstrates Infosys' strategic commitment to growth in Europe, and its investment in its employees' professional development, personal well-being, development, benefits and more.

Commenting on the development, Infosys Chief Operating Officer UB Pravin Rao said eEurope is one of the key markets for the company, accounting for almost a quarter of our global revenues.

"To drive our continued growth strategy in the region, we need to build and develop talent locally across the continent, and this means providing a work environment with the best HR practices to attract and retain highly-skilled talent," said Rao.

He also added the Top Employer certification is a validation of Infosys' Talent Management strategy and the company is committed to establishing itself as a credible employer of choice across the region.

Top Employers Institute Chief Executive Officer  David Plink said the company's research has seen how the organisations certified as one of the Top Employer in Europe put the development of their people first and are continuously working to optimise their HR and people development practices.

"Infosys forms part of this select group of employers. Now that they have received the European Top Employer certification, they can rightfully consider themselves at the top of an exclusive group of the world's best employers. An achievement they can truly be proud of," said Plink.

The Top Employers Institute completed a stringent research process, with an international HR best practice evaluation and audit assessing  Infosys' human resource environment across the participating countries.
