To be eligible for this study, organizations were required to have historically excluded groups make up at least 10% of the total workforce and be accredited for inclusive practices.

Being recognized in these awards is a testimony to the way Startek engages talent and builds competitive advantage through its people to achieve larger organizational goals. It is an honor to be recognized by the Great Place to Work^® Institute.”

Eligible organizations were further assessed on consistency in employee feedback, inclusive practices, and HEG representation to determine the list of India’s Best Workplaces in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion™ 2022. The application process comprised of a detailed HR practice audit and an anonymous survey of employees. Organizations were evaluated through two lenses: Inclusive Practices and Employee Feedback on key dimensions that impact workplace diversity, equity and inclusion.

India’s Best Workplaces™ for Women 2022 evaluated 1,122 organizations via anonymous feedback from employees and used the Trust Index^© Survey to determine the finalists.
