This Best Workplace study is the oldest and most widely used.

I went through your article. It is really excellent. If companies give 4-5 benefits out of 108 to the employees, companies can improve employer – employee relation. I also like [FONT='Trebuchet MS','sans-serif']Employee referred as “Members”, Department referred as “Groups”. [/FONT][FONT='Trebuchet MS','sans-serif']Thanks a lot for this wonderful article. As an HR professional, I must say one should go for this..[/FONT]

Fantastic. believe it or not, I was planning to send this article to my management, so that we can work on the employer-employee relationship. I got the Economic Times article with me and was trying to concise the whole thing. Your article has helped me a lot. Thanks.
Thank you Peer Saab !
From whatever I know about HR, I understand the points shared in the list are about culture of an organisation. While every organisation will have its own unique culture, the article hints at traits that should be part of an organisation's culture.
I am working in an organisation, ofcourse having its own culture, traits and practices. We want to have the traits and practices mentioned in the article in our organisation. In my opinion, it is difficult to introduce them in an existing organisation than in a new setup.
Will appreciate if someone can share how they introduced change in the culture and its traits in their respective organisation.

Dear Mr Sardhar,
The points listed out makes interesting reading but how many MNCs do implement the above? Is this the reason why these Cos functioning in Idia are graded below the ones abroad?
I feel that many of the points can be extended to the vendors too- that is the HK, maintainance, Security etc. I have noticed that they are treated as the OBCs of the industry-correct if I am wrong.
