The Great Place to Work Institute India has announced the top employers in Manufacturing and Retail.In January 2018, a list of the top manufacturing companies list was released, and recently, the institute released the top retail employers in India. According to the institute’s website, it “conducts research and recognizes the best workplaces in more than 50 countries on six continents. Based on results of surveys representing over 10 million employees around the globe, these best companies' competitions form the basis of the world’s largest and most respected set of studies of workplace excellence, management and the role of trust in workplace culture.” Organisations are required to register for an assessment after which they get comprehensive feedback and analysis of their work culture. The top-performing companies are then recognized and awarded.
