Computerworld released the list of best companies to work in IT 2024 list. Being conscious of the impact of the company size on culture and the benefits, these companies are categorised into three categories – large, midsize and small. The enlisted companies show a strong commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), exceptional employee retention and engagement, adeptness in remote/hybrid work dynamics, comprehensive benefits, substantial IT career development and training programs, and significant strides in IT growth.
There are a lot of qualities which make the company the best one to work with. Committing to employees’ well-being, their financial and career growth, fostering a positive and inclusive work culture, supporting and cultivating a diverse workforce, recognising and rewarding contributions and creating a healthy feedback loop contribute to the achievement of these companies. Staying true to the core value of an organisation has become crucial in today’s time of trends. With the ever-changing IT market, these organisations have successfully identified and harnessed the power of technology to grow and sustain their functions.
