NTT DATA Romania achieves the Top Employer 2023 certification and doubles the certifications obtained at international level

Cluj-Napoca, January 17^th, 2023 - NTT DATA, a provider of IT and business services, has been certified by the Top Employers Institute in 12 countries, doubling the number of countries obtaining this certification. Thus, Spain, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Italy and Portugal are joined by Argentina, Belgium, Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Romania, in recognition of excellence in the professional environment of companies, and the endorsement of good practices and policies in human resources. 

The increase in the number of certified nations has resulted in regional seals being obtained for Europe, Latin America, and North America. Obtaining these regional seals is fundamental for NTT DATA to achieve its goal of obtaining the global seal for the following year.

To achieve certifications for all of them, the company has relied on the already recognized nations to lend their collaboration to the eligible countries during this year, thus demonstrating the importance of collaborative and teamwork among the countries in which NTT DATA is located.

“At NTT DATA we believe in people and their potential. Work on building a hybrid and flexible work environment that encourages collaboration and where people can trace their own professional evolution, participating in innovative and diverse projects, and most importantly surrounded by excellent professionals with a high human quality”. says Flora G. Mesa, Global Head of People at NTT DATA Europe & LATAM.

On this occasion, NTT DATA Romania has obtained an exceptionally high score in the areas of People Strategy, Work Environment, Ethics and Integrity.

This formula has improved the degree of collaboration and the quality of interactions between colleagues, showing us all that we can rely on each other and on the quality of the work, regardless of our location. This certification, of which we are proud, reflects the appreciation we enjoy as an employer and confirms our constant concern for the wellbeing of our colleagues." says Maria Metz, CEO, NTT DATA Romania.
