Even as Sun in India completed its transformation into a geographically emerged market (GEM), the changes it brought along internally in the HR structure led to an atmosphere of confusion among its employees. Result: a steep drop in the BES Top 20 survey this yearit fell to #19 (from #10 the previous year). A myriad of factors were responsible for this. Job security continued to remain the most contentious issue, owing largely, to the right sizing initiative on a global scale (though India was fairly insulated from this, perceptions still prevail).

Relevancy of training was another issue, though the company ascribed this perception to the possibility of training being imparted through e-learning and not through classrooms. General disgruntlement against the appraisal system and salary structure too brought Sun down.

Nevertheless, positive work environment, and professional and personal growth emerged as key positive showings.
