It is the outcome of a survey conducted with more than 160,000 full-time and part-time workers from 58 countries working for businesses operations in multiple countries or regions. Surveys were conducted on a rolling basis from June to July, and participants were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family. All the surveys were anonymous, allowing participants to openly share their opinions.
They were also asked to rate their satisfaction with their employers' Covid-19 responses and score their employers on the image, economic footprint, talent development, gender equality and social responsibility. They were also asked to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stood out either positively or negatively.

It also facilitated Covid Testing at all its work centres across the country as well as the teleconsultations/video treatment facility from expert agencies/specialists such as Apollo Kawach to allay concerns of the employees and their family members.
