At enreap we value our talent and the analogy that ‘talent is our biggest asset’ is not mere lip service. Our talent is responsible for ensuring that we become one of the most sought-after Atlassian Platinum Partners in India. It is because of them that we have confidently expanded our geographical footprint across APAC and UAE and are now looking at the U.S. to establish our presence. It is our talent that allows us to deliver cutting-edge solutions, fuel digital transformation journeys, and form important industry partnerships.
While our talent gives a lot to us, what do we give them?
It has become increasingly clear that the demographic change in the workforce has introduced a new set of expectations from their workplace. So, we know when our employees give us reviews on Glassdoor saying, “enreap isn’t just a company; it’s a family. It is about joining a community”, we know that we are doing things right.
The term ‘family’ when used in the context of the workplace has received some flack in the days gone by. And we agree with the same. The term ‘family’ has often been used exploitatively and is often seen as a cover-up for long hours, no work-life balance, and less pay.
We, too, have been wary of using this term liberally as we stand to establish ourselves as an extremely professional space. However, we do want to clarify that enreap is not a soulless corporation, geared only at acquiring customers and driving up profits. While this is very important, this is the business aspect of it all.
We recognize that as a company, we do not exist in a vacuum and while driving profits and doing well is essential for our organization, we realize that creating an environment that is enabling, encouraging, supportive, and enabling for our employees is even more important.
Over time, we have been successful in creating a workplace that feels like one’s extended family. After all, what does family stand for? Family is a collective of people who are there to support you, cheer for you, enable you, and enable your success. And goes without saying, celebrate your success 🙂
It is family that is there with us in good times and in bad. It is family that hopes and dreams along with us and then becomes the wind beneath our wings that helps us soar to the furthest heights. Sometimes, family can see the heights we can reach even before we do.
These are the values that we espouse within our organization as well. That is why we do not shy away from saying that enreap is not just a company, it is a family.
We have ensured that we create a non-judgmental, equitable, diverse, and empathetic work environment that provides support to people when they need it. We champion work-life balance and recognize that different people need support in different ways.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to supporting our employees. For this, we ensure that our managers and leadership are well-trained and mentored to deliver enablement, support, and advice with empathy and understanding.
You will see enreap employees sharing warm, family-like bonds with their colleagues at work. You will find people making discretionary efforts to help their teammates and other colleagues when they struggle. You will see that help-seeking is not stigmatized, but rather encouraged here to help people drive their own success.
Research shows that 70% of employees derive their sense of purpose from their work. It becomes hard to create purpose for employees if you are not attuned to their needs and falter to create an environment of shared values and purpose.
We create an environment for our employees that helps them build deep and trusted relationships across the organization and allows them to feel safe, enabled, and trusted.
Clear communication, commitment, and understanding further help in forging deep, and meaningful connections and relationships across the organization. We have an acceptance of people as they are, irrespective of their differences, and our leadership always ensures diversity of people and thought is always encouraged.
One of the strongest advantages of having a solid family is the support that you get to grow and reach your dreams. At enreap, we live this aspect of family values and demonstrate the same by enabling our employees to follow their growth plans and create their own growth paths.
We are deeply invested in driving the professional and personal growth of our employees and helping them chart their careers in the way they desire. Whether it is internal training programs or external courses, we facilitate continuous learning and development for those interested.
Our open-door policy and robust mentoring make sure that our employees are ready to take on new roles and responsibilities with greater confidence and surety. And of course, our leaders, managers, and team leads are always there to help people when they fall or need help – without any judgment.
But what makes us a truly harmonious and happy family is the deep respect that runs as a core value. Respect at enreap is for everyone, irrespective of their place, position, education, or background. Our people get proactive feedback but in an empathetic way. They get the encouragement they need to do hard tasks and navigate new roles and responsibilities. We respect people’s wishes when it comes to charting their career paths and ensure that we do everything possible for us to help them succeed. There have been quite a few instances in the organization when an individual has not only moved teams but has moved cross-functionally. However, we have taken it upon ourselves to ensure that the individual gets all the support in the form of knowledge learning development and mentoring to thrive in their roles.
Of course, when we say we are like a family, we ensure that we are not like a dysfunctional one. As such, we ensure that we reflect on our policies regularly and update them when needed. We also make sure that we take regular and unbiased feedback from our employees to see how we can improve and develop an environment that fosters camaraderie, professionalism, and growth.
We agree that we might not be a ‘family’ in the traditional sense of the word. We might not be related by blood, but over the years we have seen our employees treat us as such. With high retention rates and almost 40% of employees who are referrals, we can safely say that this family environment works for our people.
So, if you are interested in being a part of an open, modern, forward-thinking organization rooted in employee development and working on some stellar, cutting-edge projects, write to us today! It could be the beginning of a new relationship.
