As competition for skilled talent intensifies, organisations are increasingly evaluated not just on compensation, but on culture and employee experience. Drychem India’s second consecutive Great Place To Work® Certification positions it strongly as an employer of choice in the manufacturing and construction materials sector.
The recognition is based entirely on employee feedback, making it a credible reflection of workplace reality. With a 93 per cent survey participation rate and high scores across trust, pride, and camaraderie, employees have clearly expressed confidence in the organisation.
A safe, respectful, and collaborative environment emerged as a key strength in employee responses. Employees highlighted effective teamwork, supportive managers, and a strong sense of belonging as factors that are critical to long-term engagement and retention.
Recognition programs form a vital part of Drychem’s employee value proposition. Initiatives such as the DSC and GEM Programs are designed to reward consistency and recognise impact across functions. By celebrating achievements in real time, Drychem fosters motivation while reinforcing accountability.
Career development is approached as a continuous journey. Through its Learning Management System, structured role-transition opportunities, and access to external training programs, employees are encouraged to expand skill sets and explore new responsibilities. These initiatives ensure that growth is aligned with organisational needs while supporting individual aspirations.
Importantly, Drychem uses data-driven insights from surveys and feedback to refine its people policies. This ensures that programs remain relevant and responsive, rather than static or symbolic.
Speaking on the importance of building a strong employer brand, Kaushal Mehta, Managing Director, Drychem India Pvt. Ltd., said, ““A strong employer brand is built on everyday experiences—how employees feel, grow, and are valued at work. At Drychem, our focus remains on creating a culture where people feel respected, recognised, and empowered. When individuals identify with the organisation’s purpose, they stay committed and contribute with pride. We will continue to invest in people-first practices so every employee sees their future and success reflected in Drychem’s journey.”
The consecutive certification enhances Drychem’s employer brand by validating its culture against a globally recognised benchmark. It signals to prospective talent that the organisation values trust, recognition, and long-term development.
In a sector where retention is often a challenge, Drychem’s people-first approach demonstrates that sustained investment in employee experience can create a workplace where individuals are proud to belong and motivated to stay.
