Leading IT companies decline to participate in Dataquest Best Employer Survey
Leading IT companies including TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL have declined to participate in Dataquest Best Employer Survey. It seems the companies are afraid of downfall in employee morale in the recssionary times – and negative feelings against them due to recent layoffs.
The top four Indian IT firms — Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys Technologies, Wipro and HCL Technologies have all declined to participate in the annual Dataquest IDC Best Employers Survey. This is for the first time in eight years history of this prestigious survey.
Here is a list of IT best employers in 2008
IT Best Employers: The Top 20
Rank Company Empex
1 iGate Global Solutions 82.5
2 RMSI 81.8
3 HCL Infosystems 81.1
4 Rolta India 80.8
5 Microsoft India 76

Now in the absence of these bigwigs who used to be among top 20 in the HR survey the Best Employer survey will have no meaning. In our opinion there should be an informal survey and these companies should be rated on that.
