Zensar Technologies Limited, a leading experience engineering, and technology solutions company, announced its recognition as a Top Employer in South Africa. Being certified as a Top Employer showcases an organization’s dedication to a better world of work and exhibits this through excellent HR policies and people practices, the company said in a filing on Thursday.

The Top Employers Institute certifies organizations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey and assessment. This assessment covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics, including people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, and more. The programme has certified and recognised more than 1,857 Top Employers in 123 countries and regions across five continents.

At around 10.58 am, Zensar Technologies Ltd was trading at Rs397.50 per share down by Rs6.65 or 1.65% from its previous closing of Rs404.15 per share on the BSE.

Commenting on this recognition, Ajay S. Bhutoria, CEO and Managing Director, Zensar, said, “We are delighted to be recognised as a Top Employer. South Africa has been a key market for us as we’ve worked to bring value to our clients. We are committed to fostering local talent through skills development, which is one of our key initiatives in the region. Building relationships with our employees extends to the community, local businesses and clients. This continually motivates us to create excellence in all we do”.

Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says, “Reflecting on the demanding year that has, like the year before it, impacted organisations across the world, Africa’s Top Employers continue to show that they prioritise maintaining excellent people practices in the workplace. They continue to meet the challenges of the changing world of work while working tirelessly to make a positive impact on the lives of their workforce. We are pleased to celebrate and applaud the organisations that have been certified as Top Employers in their respective countries this year.”

As part of its commitment to fostering local talent to build the industry, Zensar instituted its Local Skills Development (Internship) program in the region in 2008. Under this initiative, graduates from different universities and colleges with diplomas and degrees in Information Technology are recruited to be part of this internship programme and trained in critical skills to address 4IR global demands. International tech skills like automation, cloud, software testing, Java, etc. They are taught by world-class trainers from India and South Africa and exposed to local and international projects that result in real-world experience.
