Wipro has emerged as one of the top employers in Europe. The IT major has secured the fifth rank out of over 1,800 companies worldwide by Top Employers Institute. It was for the first time that Wipro applied for the certification in Europe, the company said.
Wipro stated that it obtained certification from France, ranking 2nd rank in the market; Switzerland securing 3rd rank; the Netherlands standing at 4th position; Germany and UK standing tall at 5th rank. It has gained a score of over 95 per cent in each region.
In most of the categories, Wipro performed well. In terms of career, work environment, diversity and inclusion, and digital HR categories, the company outperformed others.
The company’s new initiatives, including using technology to streamline processes, facilitating online learning and training, allowing employees to work with greater autonomy throughout the pandemic, and offering empathy and support in times of pandemic, helped it to secure such ranks.
Deepak Parija, CHRO, Europe, Wipro said, “Being certified by the Top Employers Institute is a moment of pride and an important milestone for Wipro. As we embrace the future, it reaffirms our commitment to building a value-driven, best-in-class, diverse and inclusive organization.”
Wipro Europe CEO Pierre Bruno said that the company is gratified that its efforts have been recognised.
“Despite another challenging year for businesses and people around the world, Wipro has shown that across Europe it is consistently focused on supporting its teams. This was the first year we had the opportunity to assess Wipro’s European markets, and it is a real testament to their commitment to putting people first that they have received such high rankings across each of the five markets,” said David Plink, Top Employers Institute CEO.
Top Employers scans the entries received across several essential HR practices, including people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning and development, wellbeing and diversity and inclusion.
