The annual lists of best companies to work for often focus on large corporations, but small and mid-sized companies also play a significant role in the workforce. LinkedIn recently released a list of the top mid-sized companies in India, which highlights 15 companies that offer a positive working environment for their teams. This list was created based on the activity of millions of people on LinkedIn and considers factors such as in-demand skills, career advancement opportunities, company stability, and gender diversity. The list aims to help professionals who prefer to work in smaller organisations.
The top midsize companies in India (250-500 employees) include a mix of older companies and new-age startups. Some of the companies featured on the list include MakeMyTrip, Nykaa, and Marico Limited. These companies offer job opportunities in a variety of fields, including engineering, consulting, sales, and finance. Key skills in focus at these companies include AI, enterprise software, and mobile application development. Top locations for these jobs include Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and Pune.
According to Manu Saigal, Director General Staffing at Adecco India, mid-sized companies can attract and retain talent by building a strong company culture. By empowering employees to make decisions and fostering a culture of ownership and innovation, these companies can differentiate themselves from larger corporations. Nirajita Banerjee, LinkedIn Career Expert and India Senior Managing Editor, highlights the importance of investing in employee experiences through upskilling programmes and flexible work arrangements to attract and retain talent in today’s job market.
Saigal emphasizes the importance of investing in professional development through training programmes and mentorship opportunities to help employees grow and stay engaged. Clear and transparent communication with leadership, regular town hall meetings, and an open-door policy can help build trust and make employees feel valued. Connecting employees to the company’s mission and showing them the impact of their work can boost morale and purpose. By prioritizing these aspects, mid-sized companies can create a dynamic and engaging work environment that attracts and retains top talent.
