marketer of specialty and differentiated chemicals. Their chemical
products number in the thousands and are sold worldwide to
manufacturers serving a broad and diverse range of consumer and

business policies, and will operate with integrity. But are the values
actually being followed inside the company? Very less people know the
internal scenario of the organization and the critical issues being faced by
them.

This project and questionnaire has been designed to understand the job
satisfaction of the employee’s and are the employee’s willing to choose
other options rather than continuing with their current jobs. The question

From the responses given by the employee’s, it can be noted that the

balanced one and employees are quite happy with where they work and
