The company was recognised as an exceptional performer across six core human resources areas -- primary conditions, secondary benefits, working conditions, training, career development and company culture.

"We are delighted to have been rated as the foremost employer across Europe for the second consecutive year and we look forward to building on this success as we continue to grow and develop our talent base across the UK and Continental Europe," TCS Executive Vice President and Global Head, Human Resources Ajoy Mukherjee said.
