Taking the series started by Smita on *cult* forward, I would like to bring up the subject of “Accessibility”.
Accessibility:
This value really is a gesture… a warm and friendly gesture … which helps eliminate formality and create a bond which develops a conducive work environment. How friendly? Well, consider this: we have a ‘First Name’ culture here. It’s been ages since I greeted someone with a “Good Morning, Sir”! There is so much inter-mingling among all, that anybody can walk upto to any department and meet with the concerned person. I for one, feel that this saves up on a lot of time and leads to better understanding and co-operation between people and departments.
This is a series on values that we feel either are or should be a part of our *cult*.
1. Freedom
2. Transparency
3. Fun
People don’t have to say that they are having fun at work. If they are, it shows. Is work only work, or could it be fun too? How does work become fun? My take: Of course, we all make our choices early in our career. But even the most seemingly fun jobs have their share of pain behind them. In such a scenario, what makes it real fun is different for different people. For some, a word of appreciation works wonders, while for others it may be a reward.
The comments on Vijay’s post: NASSCOM Friday 2.0 inspired me to start discussing values arising out of our *cult*. Freedom is something already discussed. (Please see the comments in the post mentioned) Please do join me in contributing to the values we have and values we aspire. Let’s define our cult!
1. Freedom
2. Transparency
If you have seen the new One97 building, you could not have missed its glass facade. If you have ventured inside, you would have seen a sea of spaces lined with open work stations and cabins made of glass walls. A zero-barrier, open, transparent office.
