RDC India not only places great emphasis on the work environment but also focuses on the holistic well-being of its employees. This includes mental and physical health, such that colleagues feel good from an emotional, social and financial perspective. For this reason, staff check-ins are held frequently, and insight surveys are conducted on a regular basis. During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital initiatives such as fitness programmes and mental health workshops were actively promoted.

Great Place to Work® is an independent and non-biased marker of a company’s commitment to its employees. Companies applying for the Great Place to Work certification cannot influence their results. The institute considers whether an organization that has met the threshold on Trust Index© (Trust Levels between Employees and the Organization) and Culture Audit© (Compare Your Workplace Culture with Competitors and the Best Companies) is also a ‘Great Place to Work® FOR ALL’.
