NEWARK CA, February 20, 2006: RMSI, a global IT services company, announced today, that it achieved a ‘Pride of Place’ ranking and placed 5th in the ‘Great Places to Work Study 2005’ conducted by the Grow Talent Company in partnership with the Great Places to Work Institute, Inc, USA and Business World. RMSI received a 4-star status on all the survey parameters - Credibility, Respect, Fairness, Pride and Camaraderie.
The study covered all of India, across all industries - FMCG, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical, Insurance, Hospitality, Consulting, and IT and spanned over 180 companies and 24, 750 employees. A unique employee-centric methodology was adopted to measure the levels of trust, pride and camaraderie in the organization. Workplaces were ranked on a point scale in a combination of quantitative and qualitative data based on the opinion of employees.
Commenting on RMSI’s inclusion in the study, Ms. Neerja Verma, Senior Vice President (Human Resources), RMSI said, “When leading a team of gifted achievers, HR assumes a far greater importance because expectations are, perhaps, that much higher. RMSI reinforces the value transparency in diverse ways such as having a neutral observer during well-prepared-for appraisals to ensure openness and fairness, value indicators and internal surveys, RMSI brand equity quiz, internal newsletter, talent management plan and the excellence and innovation awards”.
