It is one of the few companies that have consistently been among the top five
best employers of the Indian IT industry in our bes Top 20 survey. The company
actually managed to move up two notches from last year, at a time when spirits
have not been too high, with the slowdown beginning to catch up on India as
well.
RMSI has been able to improve upon its position on the strength of its
employee scores. It ranks #2 on employee feedback, which compensates for its
poor performance on the HR front, where it ranks #15.
With the company on an expansion mode, hiring, attrition and retention were
among the key focus areas for the company. Attrition was a major concern area
for RMSI in the previous year. The company was successful in bringing down its
attrition rate from over 14% to around 11%, becoming the company with the third
lowest attrition rate. It also boasts of the fourth highest rate of retention
among the companies surveyed.
Considering the niche area (geo spatial) that the company operates in, hiring
is a big challenge. And expansion being the flavor of the year, RMSI focused on
new hiring modes. The company also started focusing on lateral hiring, not
restricting itself to hiring freshers and then training them. This in turn led
to a foray into newer territories like hiring through social and technical
networking sites. It further strengthened its employee referral programs and
RMSI hired extensively through this mode.

Among other activities undertaken during the year was a distinct orientation
toward leadership development, career development, and continuous and open
communication. Some of the initiatives undertaken in this regard include Fast
Track Growth Plan, Employee Contact Program, Counseling for Professionals, etc.
The company is also known for its flexibility. Whether its HR policies or work
timings, RMSIs culture is open to bending the rules for employee benefit
without adversely affecting work. No doubt then that the employees are happy.
