siliconindia | | July 202019To ensure that every employee has easy access to their superiors, most of the company's department heads opt to sit along with their teams, including those who have cabins EMPLOYEES SPEAK:I joined AKAS as Accounts assistant in 2007 and today risen upto this level in designation. Today, I am managing a team of 12 people and also responsible for major business for the company. I am from a small family background and have been groomed to this level only by AKAS company. Whenever there is a setback in my mind due to even personal issues, my company has been considerate to motivate me and provide me the time to recover and perform back with a bang. There are more people like me in this organization who have been with us for more than 10 years ­ Azhagarsamy, General Manager - Finance & Government.I have been at AKAS for more than four years. The work environment is comfortable for females. There are around 20 percent women workforce in the office, and all of us are treated very well. I am happy to be here. It is very safe for women, as all our superiors are friendly and considerate. There is no ego among males and they respect the opinion of all employees ­ Nandinee, Marketing Team Lead.LOCATIONS: Chennai and Trichy OFFERINGS: Volumetric Infusion, Syringe Infusion pumps issues and solution as well as to coach his people on his area of expertise. Moreover, any of his people can write to Arjunsooraj and meet him at any time. "There is no question of who is big or who is small. It is a question of working as a team and providing best customer solution," he adds.Ample Learning & Growth OpportunitiesIts sales, service and application engineers are trained for a minimum of two months in various sub-departments like R&D, Production and Marketing, making them experts in their respective domains. The firm takes it as a credit when its employees comment that AKAS is a coaching class or experiencing platform for them. In fact, when it cannot offer a growth opportunity for the person within the organization, the company wishes them good luck and sends them off with a big party as they move out for career development. The company takes pride in the benevolent work culture, wherein some of its ex-employees who have worked with AKAS for long and moved out, even now come down to say a hello once in a way. When asked about the measures he takes to create such a healthy environment, Arjunsooraj proudly responds, "More than me striving, people create their own environment. I only groomed a few of senior people and they groom the rest. A good environment is contagious. They are all infected with it. Anyone who joins is for sure to be infected as well". Yet another striking fact about AKAS is that almost all of its General Manager ranks are filled by people who joined the company a decade ago fresh out of college. This serves as a motivating factor for even a new joinee, as he/she can clearly see that his boss or super bosses have been groomed by the organization and have risen up the ladder. Its people are dedicated and loyal to the company, although they are highly capable of securing a high paying job in the market outside. Why? They say their blood beats AKAS and they cannot work for anyone else. They are AKAS' owners in their minds. "I am also deeply moved by their loyalty and planning to offer ESOPs for those people who are with us for long and shed their sweat for us relentlessly," concludes Arjunsooraj.
