Its not easy to reach the #1 position, and whats more difficult is to retain it. vCustomer went against all odds to accomplish the taskcoming at the top, second time in a row.

With its impressive overall score, which is way above IBM Daksh at #2, vCustomer manages to stay clear of the herd. So much so that its weaknesses could also be counted as its strengths.

The only point that spoils the perfect picture is the companys HR rank at #9. This probably indicates that its HR practices are probably not as strong as its people practices.

vCustomer

Rank - 1
Sanjay Kumar, CEO

All initiatives toward achieving employee satisfaction have been fruitful as it ranks right at the top on all the broad employee satisfaction parameters. The company took its employee engagement initiatives (which it likes to address as employee empowerment) ahead aggressively.

vCustomer identified a two-phased approach toward its employee managementbehavioral and skills. It invested substantially in enabling the well being of its employees through bringing behavioral changes and enhancement of skills through training. Third-party audits were done for specific programs and trainings for supervisors and managerial level employees, along with other specific skill management programs. The whole idea behind this was to enable employees to move up the value chain.

Another important part of vCustomers employee satisfaction drive has been to automate employee processes. A lot of efforts were made toward streamlining backend processes and facilitating automation. The company started tending all employee queries and grievances online, so as to get a control over what employees want, and also to facilitate accountability and ownership.

vCustomer took its performance management system completely online, by predefining goals/new tracking methods, and so on. It reworked its Core Values and Code of Conduct in order to send out a clear dos and donts list to new employees as well. Its not surprising that attrition took a 30% dip, its record-best in the last five years.
