Key Employee Motivation Policies

We always strive to find out how to inspire employees and increase their engagement, thus crafted motivational policies. We inspire them to show up to work each day and work effectively throughout the working hours.

Trust is a Key:

Trust is the most vital aspect of any business and is an ongoing process. Employees want to feel confident that their supervisor will be looking onto their interests and motivate them to achieve their goals. 

ER focuses both on individual and collective relationships in the workplace and follows a systematic process. Any concern raised, it is initially verified, categorised, prioritised and then proceeds to the leadership team to resolve it. In order to close loop the same, ER team also accords employee’s satisfaction to the resolution given leading to a cultural shift. 

Career Development:

Employees are much more likely to achieve their targets, if it means that a career advancement lies ahead of them. This is a constant process of motivating employees by ensuring there are avenues and opportunities for them to excel in their professional lives, which also makes them feel that they are valued. We have many employees in the organisation today whose success stories of more than 15 years in the organisation act as inspirations for others. 

Recognition:

The simple act of appreciating employees and recognizing their efforts can do wonders for their motivation. As humans, we like to hear what we are doing is appreciated and it creates a sense of accomplishment. In turn, this motivates us to keep excelling higher. 

Incentivize:

We work on an incentive system to reward employees for their exceptional and hard work. We also reward performance in line with the achievement of specific goals. One of the most effective ways to motivate employees is the opportunity to earn a “badge” taking up specific assignments.

Smaller Goals:

We have Employees Amateur strata of age group 18-25 years, thus the KPIs are set strategically to help them in breaking lofty company goals into smaller daily tasks. It motivates employees to perform beyond expectations and within deadlines. Our organisational level RNR programs are for appreciating employees’ performance and motivating them to outperform!

Espirit de Corps – How does the management ensure fair and equal treatment to its employees

We believe in a fair and equal treatment of employees at work that builds trust, boosts morale, increases loyalty and productivity. In contrast, discrimination in favor of one group can cause anger and resentment towards those who are favored and also towards the employer. A determination to ensure fair treatment in the workplace improves the image of the business and aids in the recruitment of the best talent.  We have work from anywhere policy for employees so that they can maintain work-life-balance and improve their productivity and this also ensures their safety until they have completed their dual vaccination. 

We plan strategies to achieve fairness in the workplace that include clearly defined expectations of fairness. We also have all the policies that are well-written and which promote fair and equitable practices, consistent application of the rules. We follow effective methods like Internal Job Postings and uniform policies laid down for all employees.

This type of policy is admirable and improves trust within employees towards their management and organization.

What compensation package and other indicators are used to ensure career growth of its people that benefits the company.

We value our employees’ career growth and thus we strictly follow KPI system, i.e. Key Performing Indices Measurement to calculate overall performance of an employee. This system is an effective method that helps to keep appraisal and promotion process transparent for everyone irrespective of their designation in the organization.  

We consider current compensation as well as market standards while compensating new hires. Not only this, we do consider skill set, certifications, overall experience, etc. before drafting compensation. We have Shraishtha Academy to help our employees for career advancement. It aids them by career counselling, training, updating on advanced & latest skills, which are essential for career growth.

In the wake of an event, the employer can modify or extend the period defined for performance improvement. The procedure includes different parameters such as Timescale, Targets, Measures, Feedback, Review, and Ongoing Review. This is how EOS works for employee performance pushing them to utilize their caliber. 

While we do have external hiring through various job portals and consultants, the organization strongly promotes Internal Job postings (IJPs).  Growth is not capped at any level in EOS, as we encourage our employees to aim higher in their professional career through self-learning and by taking up additional responsibilities over and above their KRA, in case they wish to learn cross functional jobs. . Irrespective of employees’ current role, we give equal opportunity to all employees to follow their passion.  

How well are the employees and management aligned with the objectives and vision of the company?

Alignment of employees and management with company’s objectives and vision is the process of ensuring that all the workforce is aware of and shares the vision and objectives of the business. When employees are aligned to the goals of the company’s strategic plan, they perform at their optimum to meet business objectives collectively. They are motivated and inspired to do their best to help the business. 

The Talent Acquisition department plays a vital role in finding the best person for the role that is being offered in the organization. We have a dedicated HR team who works for allocation of roles according to expertise and experience of person for a particular position. It is essential to have the right people on hand to create synergies and gain the employees’ support.

In order to get our employees to move in the right direction it is also important to ensure that their career goals are in line with the company’s goal. The most important thing is to establish specific and quantifiable objectives to your staff members.

The employees must effectively blend their talents and skills to help in the success of the team. They’ll require encouragement to work more efficiently, so we strategize to improve communication between managers with their respective teams by ensuring regular Open House, skip levels and one to one meetings. We also take up various timely initiatives for team building that include creative activities in group, team outings, sports at all level, etc. We work on alignment of employees with the organization to make them understand company’s strategy, culture, and mission, short/long-term goals. It helps them to plan their work responsibilities and execute accordingly.

Innovative techniques and reward & recognition process in the company.

Methodology of Reward and Recognition is a healthy mix of Objectivity, which is monitored through automated computed KPI scores, and subjectivity, which is defined through Supervisors feedback.

Across verticals, there are strong yet explicit Governance models deployed which are made a religion across all positions. With equality also comes responsibility of ensuring that work is done through defined flow chart. 

Our technology solutions enable every employee to get and feel recognized. For instance, one of our Flagship Digital Solution “Vaani” which keeps motivating the employee through performance recognition, and also our employee portal. Recently Vaani for this and various other aspects has been awarded as the most Innovative product of the year. Eg. Deployment of Vaani has helped by increasing visibility and tracking employees’ work. It also facilitated technological advancement to track and manage quality of work.

There are structured and periodic communication channels, which is driven by Automated Performance Monitors, and the employee gets recognition at various channels through it, both at process level and at organization level as well. 

R&R is well promoted within the organization and also through all the digital and social platform available which keep the employee motivated enough to continue performing better. 

What are the feedback mechanism used by the company that sets goals and growth?

The performance improvement program is set of steps designed to enhance the performance of an employee. While the employee has a right to negotiate every measure; however, EOS can demand any element of the plan for improvement without agreement based on the business requirements. Our customer testimonials are inclined towards employees’ growth and their performance which helps and motivates them to stay productive. 

We have sessions like ‘Town Hall’– which is an open forum with CEO. In this session anyone from the organisation has the opportunity to discuss their thoughts and unresolved query with our CEO. This forum has shown transparency of employees with the leader of upper echelon. In terms of growth, we have digitised entire employee life cycle, where an employee can see his/her life cycle open. Due to digitisation, our co-location facilities are also benefitted. No employee remains untouched and has flexibility of access or reaching out to corporate entity.
