SAGE India: Becoming a ‘Great Place to Work’

14 March, 2018: Leading academic publisher, SAGE Publications India Pvt Ltd, is the first publishing house in South Asia to be certified as a Great Place to Work® for the year 2018-19 by Great Place to Work® Institute, India.

The Great Place to Work® framework assesses the level of trust within the organisation by surveying the employees through the Trust Index Dimensions namely work environment, transparency, respect, credibility, vision & leadership.

400+ SAGE employees anonymously participated in the survey conducted in December 2017 to express their voluntary views on people practices through a cultural audit. The survey revealed that SAGE India had significantly positive employee perception and robust people practices, which identified it as an organisation with a great culture.

Mr Vivek Mehra, Managing Director and CEO, SAGE India said, “SAGE India is an organization that respects every individual and its management walks the talk. This is not some award that we have handed out to ourselves; this is an award that each one of us has contributed to directly. No individual can ever take credit but all of us can surely do that collectively.”

Every year, over 8000 companies from across 50 countries join the Great Place to Work® assessment & recognition programme in their journey to create a great workplace culture for their employees. But only a handful ever make the grade to be certified as a Great Place to Work.
