Rank 18 - UNISYS INDIA : Employees as Ambassadors

Employee satisfaction in terms of defining goals, a good pay package, and a
positive work culture assured Unisys a place in the BES Top20. Unisys, boasts of
a rich legacy of 136 years and believes that its employees are its biggest brand
ambassadors, while employee engagement programs and internal communication
initiatives keep them motivated.

Unisys India has designed and developed a comprehensive competency management
program that enables employees to be market ready and project ready. Unisys
University, the in-house training engine has over 4,000 training programs, both
e-learning and instructor-led, which helps bridge any gap in employee
competencies.

A pain area is the non-recognition of special initiatives and efforts at the
time of appraisal. The company believes that due to the economic downturn,
managers across all verticals have become more cautious and are taking into
consideration long-term growth and development rather than short-term
incentives. Unisys India also believes that since IT being a relatively new
industry, management maturity in Indian IT companies has not been able to keep
pace with the exponential growth. To cover up this pain area, Unisys has put in
place a holistic competency assurance framework that lays special emphasis on
training and development of first-line managers. While the appraisal parameters
are not well thought out and relevant, the company says it is committed to shape
up the working conditions and provide business directions that will maximize
employee ability to solve client problems.

The survey suggests a high attrition and low retention rates, which the
company refutes stating that such attrition and retention rates need to be
viewed in the context of the services industry in which Unisys India operates.
