The process is immense, making the entire process and certification highly prestigious in the field of human resources.

Wipro took notable new initiatives, which contributed significantly to Wipro’s successful inclusion in this year’s list of certified companies. One of the most remarkable initiatives was the company’s use of technology to streamline processes, facilitate online training and learning, enable employees to work with greater autonomy throughout the pandemic, and offer support and empathy throughout the pandemic. Wipro’s prime strategy is to take care of the people & their well-being.
