Navi Mumbai, Jan 12: Drychem India Private Limited has been certified as a Great Place To Work® for the second consecutive year by the Great Place To Work® Institute, India. This back-to-back recognition highlights the company’s sustained commitment to fostering a high-trust, people-centric workplace culture rooted in collaboration, accountability, and continuous growth.
The certification is based entirely on employee feedback collected through the Trust Index® Survey, reinforcing the credibility and authenticity of the recognition. Employees expressed strong confidence across key dimensions of workplace culture, including leadership credibility, respect and fairness, pride in the organisation, and a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork.
As part of the assessment, Drychem achieved an impressive overall average score of 84% on the Great Place To Work® Model, with employees affirming that Drychem is truly a Great Place To Work. The survey also recorded a 93% participation rate, significantly surpassing the benchmark for mid-sized organisations. Employees cited pride in the organisation, effective team collaboration, approachable managers, and a safe, supportive work environment as some of the company’s key strengths.
The survey was conducted anonymously and confidentially, covering all eligible employees across locations and independently administered by Great Place To Work®. This ensured candid participation and an accurate reflection of the employee experience across the organisation.
Recognition and development are central to Drychem’s workplace culture. Programs such as the Hi-Five Program, Emerging Leaders Club (EL), and the DSC and GEM Programs are designed to recognise real-time achievements, reward consistent performance, and celebrate impactful contributions across functions. By integrating recognition into everyday work life, these initiatives strengthen engagement and reinforce a sense of shared ownership.
Commenting on the achievement, Kaushal Mehta, Managing Director, Walplast Products Pvt. Ltd., said,
“This certification matters because it reflects how our people experience Drychem every day. We focus on keeping leadership approachable, recognising effort as it happens, and creating real opportunities for learning and movement within the organisation. Whether it’s through open conversations, leadership development programs, or making it easier for teams to work across functions, our intent is to build trust through action. The feedback from our employees tells us we’re moving in the right direction, and it motivates us to keep improving.”
Drychem’s leadership philosophy is built on accessibility, transparency, and empathy. Leaders actively engage with teams, encourage cross-functional collaboration, and maintain open communication channels. Regular surveys and ongoing dialogue help align organisational initiatives with employee aspirations, while internal success stories are shared to inspire learning and motivation across teams.
Continuous learning remains a cornerstone of Drychem’s people strategy. Through its Learning Management System (LMS) and role-transition opportunities, employees are supported in developing new capabilities and exploring growth pathways aligned with organisational priorities. Data-driven insights are used to continuously refine policies and programs, ensuring they remain relevant, practical, and impactful.
The consecutive Great Place To Work® Certification further strengthens Drychem’s employer brand, reinforces its position as an employer of choice, and validates its internal culture against a globally recognised benchmark. Above all, it reflects the company’s long-term commitment to building a workplace founded on trust, recognition, and shared success.
