The DQ-IDC survey, designed and carried out in two phases between June and August 2010, was participated by Indian IT firms and India development centers of software multinationals. Phase One, the HR survey, saw participation from 60 companies and was based on several parameters like total employee strength in India and total average training among others. In the second phase, a large-scale survey was conducted by IDC India among 3,160 employees of the 36 companies shortlisted based on the phase one. The survey questionnaire included 73 statements under parameters like composite satisfaction, company culture, job content/growth, training, salary and compensation, appraisal systems, people, gender inclusivity, and managing the slowdown. According to the DQ-IDC Best Employer Survey, factors like work-life balance and flexible working hours (60%), positive work environment (52%) and strong employer company image (50%) were among the top 5 attributes of an ideal company. Dataquest is a flagship publication released by CyberMedia Group and it collaborates with IDC to bring out the top 20 Indian IT employers every year.
