After revenue losses in two consecutive fiscals due to slowdown in the global

GIS market, the company bounced back in the last fiscal and registered a topline

growth of 7%. RMSI's recovery evidently did wonders to employee morale, who gave

very high satisfaction ratings to the company.

Neerja Verma, Sr VP, HR

The Noida-based subsidiary of RMSI scored high on retention. It was a vote of

employee confidence for RMSI. Its performance across all employee satisfaction

parameters was extremely consistent. Employees, who participated in the survey,

expressed high satisfaction on issues like flexibility of work hours, career

growth opportunity and development, and company culture.

The company's job design and content bode well, with most employees

expressing satisfaction and carrying a sense of pride, passion and excitement

towards their work profile. Another parameter that found high favor with RMSI's

employees is its appraisal process, which they felt was extremely transparent,

methodical, and fair.

Interestingly, most employees highlighted two reasons why they would want to

quit the organization-career growth and opportunity, and compensation. While the

company seems to be taking good care of the former, compensation could be a

reason for concern in the coming years.

The company's internal branding has also risen considerably. After its

abysmal performance last year, when only 28% of the employees voted it as their

preferred employer, the share increased this year to 44%.

The correlation between the overall satisfaction in job design and content

and growth opportunity, and organization is evident with over 54% of the

employees giving their vote in favor of RMSI.
