OREANDA-NEWS. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organisation, today announced that it has successfully been certified as a Top Employer in Australia 2015 by the Top Employers Institute. The annual international research undertaken by the Top Employers Institute recognises leading employers around the world: those that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation, and which strive to continuously optimise employment practices. TCS - Australia and New Zealand has been awarded the exclusive Top Employers Australia 2015 Certification.

The Top Employers Institute (formerly known as the CRF Institute) globally certifies excellence in the conditions that employers create for their people. It has just announced the results of this year's research into the employee conditions of significant employers in Asia Pacific. TCS - Australia and New Zealand is one of the selected organisations to achieve the Top Employers Australia 2015 certification and is pleased to be officially recognised as a leading employer.

Crucial to the Top Employers process is that participating companies must complete a stringent research process and meet the required high standard in order to achieve the certification. To further reinforce the validity of the process, all answers were independently audited, meaning this research has verified TCS' outstanding employee conditions in Australia and New Zealand and earned them a coveted spot amongst a choice group of certified Top Employers.

The Top Employers Institute assessed the TCS employee offering in Australia and New Zealand on a range of criteria including Talent Strategy, Workforce Planning, On-boarding, Learning & Development, Performance Management, Leadership Development, Career & Succession Management, Compensation & Benefits as well as Culture.

David Plink, CEO, from the Top Employers Institute commented, "Optimal employee conditions ensure that people can develop themselves personally and professionally. Our comprehensive research concluded that TCS - Australia and New Zealand provides an outstanding employment environment and offers a wide range of creative initiatives, from secondary benefits and working conditions, to performance management programmes that are well thought out and truly aligned with the culture of their company."

Deborah Hadwen, CEO of TCS Australia and New Zealand said "At TCS we realise that our greatest assets are our people. Having world class HR practices implemented locally assists our team to provide an environment that fosters learning and growth. One of TCS' key differentiators is our advanced learning systems which are designed to be offered anytime, anywhere that cater to the needs of our rapidly growing and mobile workforce. TCS is also able to provide exciting career path opportunities and related development needs resulting in exceptional employee engagement, low attrition and an ability to fill positions quickly. Being able to develop and retain our staff has enabled the business to grow at an exceptional rate."
