S.S. Rana & Co. has been certified as a Great Place To Work for the period July 2024 to July 2025. The certification is based on what the firm’s own people say about working there. In 2024, the firm was also named in Great Place To Work’s lists of India’s Best Workplaces for Women, India’s Best Workplaces in Professional Services and India’s Great Mid-size Workplaces in 2024.
About Great Place To Work
Great Place To Work is a global authority on workplace culture, operating in India through the Great Place To Work Institute India. Its certification and Best Workplaces lists are used by organisations across sectors, including professional services.
Who qualifies: Organisations of any size can apply. Certification is based mainly on a confidential survey of their employees, so the recognition reflects how people inside the organisation experience it.
What is measured: Great Place To Work’s Trust Model looks at five dimensions: credibility, respect and fairness, which together make up trust in leadership, along with pride in the work and camaraderie among colleagues.
The format: Certification is valid for one year. Certified organisations can also be considered for Great Place To Work’s Best Workplaces lists, which recognise the strongest cultures by size, sector and focus, such as workplaces for women.
What the certification recognises
S.S. Rana & Co.’s Great Place To Work profile and employee testimonials point to:
Gender equality in practice: Employees describe a firm that adopted gender equality and fair work practices before they became the norm, where women feel safe, respected and encouraged to take senior leadership roles, and where talent is rewarded equally across genders.
Safety beyond the office: Women leaving after dark are escorted by colleagues, and a buddy system supports their safety.
Time for life outside work: Staff are encouraged to keep a healthy work-life balance, with birthday leave and family celebration leave in addition to earned, medical and casual leave.
Room to grow: Employees point to opportunities for career development and a culture of learning from mistakes and improving the workplace over time.
Workplace benefits under Indian law
Several of the practices employees value go beyond what Indian law requires. The statutory baseline for women employees is set mainly by the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, as amended in 2017:
Maternity leave: 26 weeks of paid leave for a woman’s first two children, and 12 weeks for any later child.
Adoption and surrogacy: 12 weeks of leave for a woman who adopts a child under three months old, and for a commissioning mother.
Creche facilities: Establishments with 50 or more employees must provide access to a creche, with visits allowed during the day.
Flexible work: Where the nature of the work allows, the employer and employee can agree on work from home after maternity leave.
Leave for birthdays and family celebrations, escort and buddy systems, and an open path to senior roles are choices that sit on top of this baseline, and they are the kind of practices the Great Place To Work survey is designed to pick up.
