Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd., the parent company of Times of India, has been recognized as a winner of the Safe Place to Work for All Award 2026 by the HR Association of India, marking the organization’s commitment to fostering a secure and inclusive workplace culture.
The award, announced two weeks ago, celebrates organizations that have demonstrated exceptional dedication to creating environments where all employees feel safe, respected, and valued. The HR Association of India, a leading professional body focused on human resources excellence, selected Bennett Coleman among multiple winners including Zydus Group, Sterlite Electric, Cyient, Kyndryl, and Muthoot Fincorp Ltd.
Bennett Coleman’s recognition reflects efforts undertaken during Safety Month 2026, when the organization drove enthusiastic participation across all plants and offices. The company has emphasized building a culture where safety extends beyond compliance to encompass psychological well-being, inclusion, and employee empowerment.
Workplace safety awards have become increasingly significant in India’s corporate landscape as organizations recognize that a safe workplace directly impacts employee retention, productivity, and organizational reputation. Companies that prioritize safety culture tend to experience lower incident rates and stronger employee engagement, according to industry observers.
The award underscores Times of India’s broader commitment to creating a workplace environment that supports both physical safety and a positive organizational culture. This recognition positions the media organization among India’s leading employers in demonstrating HR excellence and employee-centric practices.
