Speaking about the achievement Mr. Shailesh Singh, Director and Chief People Officer, Max Life Insurance said, “It is indeed a proud moment for us. The recognition strengthens our commitment to raising the bar on building a great workplace. Any organization across any sector stands tall basis the passion and dedication its employees have for their company and the business it is engaged in. It is the culture of excellence, customer centricity and meritocracy along with a highly talented team that we have developed over the years, to help us being amongst the best today. The result of our efforts on people centricity resonates equally in our focus on customer centricity and superior business numbers.”

The recognition holds a lot of credibility with its holistic and credible dual-lens methodology.

The first lens looks at workplaces from the employees’ perspective and assigns a two-third weight to the voice of employees. The remaining one-third is assigned based on the strength of people practices implemented across the organization.
