In an era of rapidly evolving expectations in the workplace, The Hindu Group (THG), in a landmark partnership with global employee experience authority WorkL, has launched the inaugural The Hindu Best Places to Work Awards 2026. This prestigious initiative represents a major milestone that sets a new national standard for organizational excellence and redefines what it means to be a truly great workplace in India. Attracting a strong participation from companies from many sectors, the first edition highlights a growing consensus among business leaders: employee engagement, well-being and a thriving culture are no longer marginal issues, but the main drivers of sustainable business success.
This initiative signals The Hindu Group’s commitment to expanding its role beyond journalism and thought leadership to actively shape the national conversation on workplace culture. Through a partnership with WorkL, the award brings a robust data-driven methodology to the forefront of workplace quality assessment. This ensures that recognition is not given based on perception or self-nomination, but based on verified, confidential and anonymous feedback from employees themselves.
