SYDNEY, February 5, 2021: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organisation, has been named the Number One Top Employer in Australia by the Top Employers Institute, for the third successive year. In addition to the local ranking, TCS has been certified as a Global Top Employer for the sixth consecutive year.

The Top Employer Institute recognised TCS for its employee-friendly workplace practices and continued investments in building up talent across the organisation through professional development initiatives and digital skills programs.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, TCS rapidly enabled over 95% of its employees to work from home within a matter of weeks. In Australia, the TCS Innovation team created a COVID-19 chatbot that enabled local employees to find answers to any of their COVID-19 related questions.

With employees working remotely, TCS provided extra support to its workforce, including virtual counselling services and medical helpdesks for physical and mental wellness. A virtual engagement team was set up to keep employees connected and promote wellbeing.

The company’s continued investment in organic talent development, focus on upskilling and innovative training methods, learning platforms, and certifications, have resulted in industry-leading outcomes. To date, more than 366,000 employees globally have been trained on multiple new technologies, and over 444,000 have been trained on Agile methods.

TCS’ Contextual Masters program celebrates experienced employees who build up deep knowledge about the customer’s business and technology landscape on the job and use that contextual knowledge to create value. Over 10,000 individuals have been identified as contextual masters till date. This knowledge and the large pool of digital experts have been central to TCS’ engagements with some of the world’s top corporations in their growth and transformation initiatives.

This combination of purpose-driven people culture and world-leading HR practices have made the company the global industry benchmark in talent retention. Its attrition rate in IT services on a last twelve months’ basis was at an all-time low of 7.6% at the end of the December quarter. TCS’ 469,261 employees represent a diverse workforce comprising 147 nationalities, with women constituting 36.4% of the base.
