R1 RCM India (NASDAQ: RCM), a prominent provider of technology-driven solutions that revolutionize the patient experience and financial performance of healthcare providers, is proud to announce its recognition on the prestigious AVTAR and Seramount list of the “Top 100 Best Companies for Women in India.” This accolade underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to cultivating a diverse and inclusive work environment that empowers women professionals.
In partnership with Seramount, a strategic professional services and research firm specializing in advancing inclusive workplaces in the United States, Avtar, India’s leading Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion solutions firm, successfully conducted the eighth consecutive edition of the Best Companies for Women in India (BCWI) study in 2023. This initiative, spanning seven prior editions, has firmly established itself as the most comprehensive gender analytics undertaking in India’s corporate landscape. This year’s study involved over 354 companies representing a wide range of industries, geographical regions, and business sectors. These companies underwent a rigorous evaluation process, scrutinizing the depth of their practices, programs, and policies aimed at fostering gender inclusion in their workplaces. As a result of this rigorous evaluation, the Top 100 Best Companies for Women were alphabetically ranked, and R1 RCM earned its rightful place on this esteemed list. The recognition underscores the company’s outstanding policies and practices that champion diversity and inclusivity in the workplace.
Swati Khandelwal, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at R1 RCM, expressed her thoughts on this recognition, stating, “At R1, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do. We are thrilled to have been named among the Top 100 Best Companies for Women by Avtar and Seramount. We take immense pride in our efforts to uplift women’s participation across all levels and roles. Our ‘R1 Cares’ program empowers our employees to take charge of health and wellbeing for a healthy lifestyle and holistic wellbeing. We have curated extensive development programs to provide differentiated offerings at every level from an early career stage to leadership roles including tie-ups with premier management institutions. At R1, we have maintained a focus on having a gender-balanced workforce. We aspire to uphold this in the years ahead, strengthened by our people practices as an equal opportunity employer.”
Dr. Saundarya Rajesh, Founder-President of the Avtar Group, shared her insights on the occasion, remarking, “Gender diversity among the 100 Best Companies continues to increase. The average representation of women overall is an inspiring 36.9% this year in 2023, up from 25% in 2016 at the study’s launch. At this current rate, a 50:50 gender balance at these Best Companies will be a reality by 2030—a much sooner time frame, given the repercussions of the pandemic. While we celebrate the progress made, we must also be vigilant of persisting challenges. Inclusion is an ongoing commitment; constantly innovating, focusing on the growth aspirations of diverse talent and curating a culture of care must always be part of leadership priorities. Measuring and monitoring success metrics associated with these initiatives is non-negotiable.”
This accomplishment follows closely on the heels of R1 RCM’s recognition as one of India’s Top 50 Best Companies to Work For™ 2023 and India’s Top 50 Best Workplaces for Millennials™ 2023 by the Great Place To Work® Institute. These consecutive accolades aptly reflect R1 RCM’s unwavering commitment to its workforce and its mission to establish an organization that is “For All”—a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment where every employee, regardless of gender, can thrive and grow.
