NEWARK CA, September: The IDC-Dataquest IT Best Employers Survey 2006 results are out and for the fourth year running, global IT services provider RMSI has moved upward in the spotlighted "Top Twenty" ranking, jumping from last year’s fourth place to the runner-up position.
RMSI is placed ahead of Indian IT industry leaders such as Infosys, Wipro, and NIIT amongst others.
In the survey, RMSI is ranked first on the "Dream Company to work for" parameter by its employees and ranked fourth best in the industry by the people outside. A still closer look at the survey confirms the suggestion of the Dataquest reporter Bhaswati Chakravorty in the magazine’s August 31 cover story- RMSI may be tops among all Indian IT companies at attracting and retaining talent. In fact, RMSI was ranked first in the survey’s “Employee Satisfaction” rankings.
RMSI is way ahead of the industry average on all the survey parameters. On the salary and Job content parameters, while companies such as Infosys and Wipro are placed between 14th to 20th positions, RMSI achieved an envious 3rd place finish.
"As an organization, we have always believed in empowering our people and nurturing their aspirations and talents to maximize value creation for all our stakeholders. Being chosen as a people-centric organization for the fourth consecutive year is a manifestation of RMSI’s belief that our people are our greatest asset," said Neerja Verma, Senior Vice President (Human Resources), RMSI.
Earlier this year, RMSI was also ranked 5th in the Great Places To Work (India) Study conducted by the Grow Talent Company in partnership with the Great Places To Work Institute, Inc. (USA) and Businessworld magazine. This survey covered all Indian industries.
