Research shows that if the culture of an organization is good, it helps reduce the stress of the work-at-hand. Employees of such companies look forward to going to their jobs.

Organisations that offer a great work culture have employees who have a hard time leaving them because they enjoy the workplace, job challenges, their co-workers, and the atmosphere.

The JobBuzz Workplace Index for October 2017 identifies 10 such sectors that offer a great work culture and keep employees highly motivated.

This month, Consumer Durables emerged as the best sector with the highest index value for 'work culture'. This sector was also the 'Best Sector of the Month', based on the overall index rating. It also scored well on the 'work-life balance' aspect.

Making an entry into the top 10, the Hospitality sector was at the second position and Pharmaceuticals sector ranked third on the workplace index in October 2017. The Hospitality sector was also highly rated for the 'work culture' it offers.

"In the time when workplace stress has become a key concern for organisations worldwide, it is heartening to have industries who offer a work culture which is applauded by its employees. These sectors are going an extra mile to reach out to their employees in the time of crisis, supporting them and even extending assistance to the family members. Increasingly, employees have also started giving the organisation culture more weightage. For some, having a great work culture is more important than having a high paying job," said Sanjay Goyal, Head of Product, Technology & Marketing, TimesJobs.
