Top Companies in India to Work For 2018: List of 25 Best Companies Revealed by LinkedIn
The List has been compiled post looking at four main pillars: interest in the company, engagement with the company’s employees, job demand and employee retention.
LinkedIn has unveiled the 2018 Top Companies list for India.The annual ranking highlights the 25 companies in the country that are most sought-after by professionals, based on proprietary LinkedIn data and billions of actions by more than 546+ million professionals on LinkedIn. The list gives you an idea on which companies you need to send your resume next.
The first five spots in this year's list are- Directi, Flipkart, One97 Communications Limited (Paytm), Amazon and AB InBev India. According to the report, more than 50 percent in the list are new entrants. The list has been compiled post looking at four main pillars: interest in the company, engagement with the company’s employees, job demand and employee retention.
Job demand: At what rate are people viewing and applying to job postings, including paid listings, unpaid ones and those linked from other sites? All job views and applications are normalised for the total number of job postings.
Engagement with the company: How many professionals are viewing a company’s career page? How many new followers has the company attracted?
Interest in its employees: How many non-employees are viewing and asking to connect with a company’s employees?
Retention: Are employees sticking around for at least a year?
Accoridng to LinkedIn, some of the learnings from the study are-those at the top understand the importance of flexibility, (for e.g. Amazon, ranked No. 4 on the India list, it offers new parents eight weeks of partial work hours so they can acclimatise to their new schedules.) These companies also make employees stakeholders in growth, (like One97 Communications (#3), which runs Paytm, offers stock plans to top performers, aside from an annual bonus) .Also, these companies make sure that stress doesn't creep into the workplace, like McKinsey & Company (#6) encourages employees to take five to 10 extra weeks off to pursue their passion — get a pilot’s licence, write a book — or attend to family matters.
