NTT DATA has been named a Global Top Employer for the third consecutive year, earning certification for 2026 from the Top Employers Institute. This recognition highlights the company’s sustained excellence in human resources practices across its global operations. NTT DATA joins an elite group of only 17 organizations worldwide to achieve this top-tier honor, underscoring its commitment to building a high-performing, inclusive, and employee-centric workplace. In addition to the global certification, NTT DATA has secured four regional Top Employer 2026 seals and 37 country and region-specific seals across North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Africa. The Global Certification is the highest level of recognition offered by the institute and is awarded to organizations that demonstrate consistent, world-class HR practices across diverse markets. The certification is based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the Top Employers Institute’s comprehensive HR Best Practices Survey, covering six key domains: People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Wellbeing. The survey assesses 20 specific topics and is followed by a detailed audit by HR experts. NTT DATA received top scores for several innovative and impactful initiatives, including Candidate Experience Measurement, Voice of the Employee Champions, Employee Listening Strategies, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs. These practices reflect the company’s focus on creating a workplace where every employee feels heard, respected, and empowered. Yutaka Sasaki, President and CEO of NTT DATA, said, “Our employees are our most important asset and a key driver of our competitive advantage. With around 200,000 team members across more than 70 countries and regions—over 75% of whom are non-Japanese—our diverse workforce brings invaluable expertise and perspectives that enable us to deliver exceptional value to our clients. Being recognized as a Global Top Employer for the third year in a row is a testament to our ongoing commitment to building a workplace where people feel supported, respected, and inspired to perform at their best.” Adrian Seligman, CEO of the Top Employers Institute, praised NTT DATA’s achievement, noting, “Winning Global Top Employer status in 2026 is a significant milestone that reflects excellence not just in individual countries, but across regions and globally.
