R1 RCM India , a

announced that it has been recognized amongst the AVTAR and Seramount list of
the "Top 100 Best Companies for Women in India." This accolade

inclusive work culture that empowers women professionals.
Avtar, India's leading Diversity,
Equity, & Inclusion solutions firm, in collaboration with Seramount, a
strategic professional services and research firm specializing in promoting
inclusive workplaces in the United States, successfully conducted the eighth
consecutive edition of the Best Companies for Women in India (BCWI) study in
2023. Over its previous seven editions, this study has established itself as
the most comprehensive gender analytics initiative in the corporate landscape
of India. This year, the study witnessed the participation of over 354
companies representing a wide spectrum of industries, geographical regions, and
business sectors. These companies underwent a meticulous evaluation process,
focusing on the granularity of their practices, programs, and policies to
foster gender inclusion within their workplaces. The culmination of this
process led to the alphabetical ranking of the Top 100 Best Companies for
Women. R1 RCM earned a place on this prestigious list, recognizing the
company's best-in-class policies and practices that promote diversity and
inclusivity in the workplace.
Swati Khandelwal, SVP Human
Resources, R1 RCM shared her thoughts on the recognition, "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."
Commenting on the occasion, Dr
Saundarya Rajesh, Founder-President, Avtar Group said, "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 shortly
after R1 RCM was acknowledged 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 recognitions aptly demonstrate R1
