Kia India has quietly built a reputation not just for its cars, but also for the way it treats the people behind them. Inside the company, there is a definite emphasis on trust, respect and mutual growth. That approach has now been recognised again.
Kia India has been awarded Great Place To Work Certification for the second time in a row. With this achievement, it becomes the only car manufacturer in India to gain this recognition consecutively. The certification is a mirror of how employees actually feel about their place of work.
What makes this recognition meaningful is its process. It is based entirely on feedback from employees on a confidential basis. This year, 93 percent of Kia India employees participated in the survey, indicating a great culture of openness and involvement across teams.
Mr. Gwanggu Lee, Managing Director and CEO, Kia India said that the recognition reflects the day-to-day choices made by people across the organisation. He highlighted that progress comes when employees are trusted to think freely, work with ownership and support one another. According to him, Kia India is still centered on providing the place where people can develop with confidence and succeed together.

Balbir Singh, CEO, Great Place To Work India, also recognised the consistent efforts of Kia India. He said that gaining the certification for a second year indicates a lasting commitment to employee experience and a work environment where people feel empowered.
