About the Study
The Covid-19 Pandemic challenged old paradigms of working and thrust the new normal on businesses and the workforce. While organizations have found ways to cope with the VUCA world, current times placed tremendous pressure on the leadership team to be agile, decisive, and adaptable. There have been many examples of exemplary behavior on the part of senior leadership, be it redefining business models, redesigning workplaces to suit the current needs, or ensuring the wellbeing of the workforce. The 'India's Best Leaders in time of Crisis 2021' Study was a Great Place to Work® India initiative to identify leaders who have demonstrated exceptional ability in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis.
The study captured history as it happened by enabling organizations to update actions and initiatives regularly, while a short impact survey was conducted on cross-sections of employees to understand their experience during these challenging times.
On receiving the award, Mr. Gautam Khanna said, "I am delighted to receive this unique recognition. This award recognizes the passion, hard work, dedication put in by all our staff, nurses, consultants, and managers to tide over the most challenging year effectively we have ever faced. As the pandemic hit, we had to deal with a series of crisis, ensuring that continued uninterrupted medical care is provided to both covid and non-covid patients. We changed how we functioned, broke the traditional departmental silos, moved to an integrated cross-functional team approach, and adopted digital to deliver services like teleconsultation, CovidCare@Home, etc. Our entire team across hierarchy and functions was aligned to the common goals of ensuring the safety of staff and patients and providing uninterrupted, best medical care to patients. Kudos to all of them for having excelled in the most challenging circumstances. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to all our Trustees, Executive Council, and Board Members for their support, guidance, and trust."
