NEW DELHI, May 2, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- What is one of the best companies for you to grow
your career in India?
According to LinkedIn and Forbes: Cognizant
(Nasdaq-100: CTSH).
Cognizant is one of the world's leading professional services
companies, transforming clients' business, operating and technology
models for the digital era. On its 2021 rankings of Top
Companies, LinkedIn ranked Cognizant #2 in India. LinkedIn said that the Top
Companies are investing in employee success, career development,
and equity and inclusion to ensure they continue to be among the
best workplaces for employee growth now, and in a post-pandemic
world.
"We are happy be named to the LinkedIn Top Companies list
in India," said Rajesh Nambiar, Chairman and Managing Director,
Cognizant India. "As we transform the companies the world relies
on, our people are our differentiator. We are focused on supporting
the many ways our associates can make a positive impact at
Cognizant – on their clients, on society, on each another and on
their own lives."
Cognizant commitment to Indian society stems from the long-term
presence in the country and the over 200,000 Indian associates to
whom the company owes much of its success. Earlier this week,
Cognizant made a new commitment: to help the country and its people
overcome the humanitarian crisis created by the pandemic. Named
Operation C3: Cognizant Combats COVID-19, the effort includes
donations of $1.5 million
(approximately INR 10 Crores) through
the Cognizant Foundation to operationalize response efforts
with partners across India;
and an additional $2 million
(approximately INR 15 Crores) in
emergency funding to UNICEF in India to help address acute shortages in
life-saving oxygen, and to deploy medical and testing supplies.
In addition to the above, earlier this month, Cognizant
announced that it would cover the vaccination cost of more than
600,000 people in India, including
its more than 200,000 full-time employees and their dependents in
the country, as well as approximately 50,000 people comprising
contingent staff such as contract, support and security personnel,
and their families.
Cognizant has notched two other "Best Employer" accolades in
recent months, both awarded by Forbes Magazine: "World's
Best Employers" and "Best Employers for Diversity."
"We are incredibly proud to be named to these Forbes lists for
Best Employers," said Shantanu Jha, Chief People Officer,
Cognizant India. "For us, it means that we are creating conditions
where every person can thrive, and we work relentlessly to ensure
we lean into that commitment. Through our network of associate
groups, Diversity and Inclusion programs and leadership
accountability measures, we are ensuring our people feel connected
to the organization and to one another. We want them to feel
empowered to share their ideas and perspectives, and comfortable
showing up as their true and authentic selves."
Forbes selected the World's Best Employers based on independent
surveys of more than 150,000 employees in more than 50 countries
around the world. Participants were asked to rate employers
according to various topics such as image, trust, gender equality,
corporate social responsibility, culture, benefits, economic
footprint, and talent development. They were also asked to rate
their satisfaction with their employers' Covid-19 responses. The
Best Employers for Diversity award asked respondents to anonymously
rate their organizations on general diversity and specific topics
such as age, gender, sexual orientation equality, ethnicity, and
disability.
