Acknowledging the award, D.K. Srivastava, Global HR Head, HCL Technologies said, “It is an honour to be chosen as the Best Employer by Hewitt in India and Asia. This recognition is a testimony to our strong employee-centric culture and the spirit of innovation. I would like to pass on the credit for this award to each of the 55,000 empowered Ideapreneurs who have made it happen.”
 
Mr. Ajay Soni, Practice Lead, Hewitt Best Employers in India 2009, said, “The Best Employers differentiate themselves by making their employees a part of their growth story. HCL Technologies is one such example. It provides great opportunities for growth and development by creating an environment that empowers employees to lead from the front. As a result, they are seeing stronger business results and stand out as a place where people want to work.”
 
This recognition from Hewitt is the latest in the growing dossier of awards and recognitions for HCL Technologies from across geographies in the past one year. The global acknowledgement comprises “Leader of Human Capital Development” by Global Services 100 Survey for 2009, Optimas Award for HR Innovation in the US, Reader’s Award at FT ArcelorMittal Boldness in Business Award in Europe and CRF Award for “Top Employers UK 2008”. Adding to the list, HCL also won four award categories in the Asia-Pacific HRD Congress - Global HR Excellence awards 2008 and recognized for its contribution in Global Training and Development at 2008 Employer Branding Award.
 
HCL’s unique management philosophy of “Employee First” has been recognized worldwide for empowering employees to become the drivers of growth. This approach puts employees on top of the organizational pyramid with the belief that the real value gets created in the interface between customer and employees, and has made the whole organization accountable to the person who has the potential to create this value - the employee.
 
Employee First follows a five fold approach that gives employees whatever they need to succeed - be it space to grow, time to think, or tools to use. Through various unique initiatives like Career Power, Employee First Councils and ilearn, the endeavor is to create an organization that nurtures leaders and gives employee the freedom to chart their career path.
 
“Employee First is the guiding philosophy at HCL. We truly believe that it is the employees who deliver real value to the organization and customers, and our focus is on maximizing the value created in that zone of interface. The success that HCL is seeing is due to the commitment that our employees have shown in us, especially in these challenging times. It is the value that they create, the pride with which they work and their level of engagement with the organization that has reflected in these recognitions,” Mr. Srivastava added.
 
The Hewitt Best Employers in Asia and India 2009 study is conducted by Hewitt Associates. The study provides a definitive benchmark against which an organization can measure the effectiveness of the workplace it provides to engage the intellectual and emotional commitment of its employees.
