In the rapidly evolving landscape of global business, the blueprint of organisational success is being rewritten. At the heart of this transformation lies an undeniable truth: the most powerful competitive advantage is not technology, infrastructure, or capital, but the people who drive an organisation forward. Creating a preferred workplace is no longer a luxurious aspiration but a critical strategic imperative that determines an organisation’s ability to innovate, adapt, and thrive.
The contemporary workplace is a complex ecosystem fraught with unprecedented challenges. The manufacturing sector stands at a critical juncture. Despite projections of reaching US$ 1 trillion by 2025-26, the industry confronts significant workforce challenges. A persistent skills gap, minimal industry-academia collaboration, and perception issues among younger generations threaten to derail the sector’s promising trajectory. The need to transform workplace culture has never been more urgent.
Similarly, in the IT-ITES sector, the convergence of technological disruption, remote work dynamics, and the AI revolution has fundamentally reshaped workforce expectations. Companies are wrestling with critical imperatives: maintaining employee engagement, managing work-life boundaries, and preparing their talent for a future where technological fluency is paramount. The sector faces a delicate balancing act of rightsizing while retaining top talent and navigating the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.
Against this backdrop, Team Marksmen’s Most Preferred Workplace 2024-25 initiative, now in its third edition focussing on Manufacturing, IT and ITES sector, emerges as a beacon of excellence, recognizing organisations that have not just acknowledged these challenges but have proactively transformed them into opportunities for growth and innovation.
This unique industry platform sees organisations evaluated basis a rigorous selection process, conducted in partnership with LeadCap Ventures. Organisations were appraised across multiple critical parameters.
For the Manufacturing edition, the focus areas expanded to:
- Employee Engagement and Empowerment
- Retention and Recruitment
- Upskilling and Reskilling
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- Safety and Security
For the IT-ITES edition, these include:
- Employee Engagement
- Recruitment and Retention
- Work-life Balance
- Reskilling and Upskilling
- Job Security
These parameters represent more than mere checklist items; they are the foundational elements of a truly transformative workplace culture.
We are excited to celebrate these outstanding organisations at a gala event to be held on December 11th at The Lalit, New Delhi. The third edition of Most Preferred Workplace continues our commitment to highlighting and honoring organisations from the Manufacturing, IT and ITES sector, that are setting new benchmarks in workplace excellence.
As Rajesh Khubchandani, Co-founder and CEO, Team Marksmen Network, eloquently puts it, “In an era of unprecedented change, organisational culture is not a soft metric but a hard business strategy. The organisations we recognize today are not just creating workplaces; they are crafting ecosystems of innovation, learning, and human potential. They understand that in the war for talent, culture is the most potent weapon.”
This event is more than a recognition ceremony. It is a testament to the transformative power of visionary leadership, a celebration of organisations that understand that their greatest asset walks through the door every morning, and that making the most of people calls for an elevated approach that puts purpose above profit.
