It is heartening to note that 9% more employees in Best Workplaces respond positively to management involving everyone in decision-making and believe in the psychologically and emotionally healthy workplace. As an organization, we always encourage a workplace culture that demonstrates care, work-life balance, and provides unique benefits. These aspects have proved to be critical differentiators for the Best Workplaces in BFSI.
We have also observed an 8% increase in employees reporting positively on being offered training or development and developing managers for leadership positions in the organization. However, as the gap between Best Workplaces and others has increased to 5% in 2023, it is essential for all workplaces to inculcate the practices of Best Workplaces. As leaders, it is essential to develop managers for future leadership positions who believe in promoting a culture of innovation, which impacts the most towards innovation experience for employees.
