Commenting on the conceptualisation of the
JobBuzz Workplace Index, Sanjay Goyal, head of product, technology and
marketing. TimesJobs said, “The survey and their answers reflect the sentiments
of corporate India. It hints at the critical pieces that employers should watch
out for when communicating with employees. We hope, that in the coming times,
this report becomes an essential tool-kit for both the employers and
employees.”
The JobBuzz ‘Best new-age workplace’ study
revealed that there are top 5 factors which matter
most to employees while joining an organisation including brand name; company
culture; competitive salary; diversity and inclusion and rewards and
recognition.
The index is the definitive benchmarking tool
for employers to measure their progress on various workplace aspects, such as salary, work-life balance, career growth and
workplace culture. It also serves as an employer assessment tool for the job-"s and serves as a ‘best place to
work’ guide to them.
The report for August 2017 names the
automobiles sector as the best employer. It scores well across all the critical
workplace aspects. However, the sector scores best on the work culture aspect.
Infrastructure and manufacturing sector have a
tie for the second position, while, telecom and retail sectors ranked third on
the workplace index in August 2017.
"The need to understand the evolving
workplaces better with the aim to provide meaningful information to both
employees and employers was critical in creating the JobBuzz Workplace Index.
The Workplace Index benchmarks the key elements of a workplace and recognises
those sectors which are creating an inclusive workplace for the new-age job"
said Goyal.
The JobBuzz Workplace Index is a compilation of
employee ratings from across a selection of companies varying in size,
geography and industry on various critical workplace parameters. The index
value has been kept at 100. The percentages are an indicator of ratings being
provided by the employees on JobBuzz for their respective companies. These
percentages are an indicator of happiness quotient of employees.
