In today's economic climate short-term engagements are playing a
bigger role than the long term ones. Employee’s expectations are the biggest
risk for any services company as the general mindset is changing and growing if
left un-managed. Even with the sluggish economy we’re experiencing today,
people often switch jobs and companies.We recognize that employees are key
stakeholders and a vital source of sustainability engagement and ideas to
enhance the company’s sustainability journey. Employee involvement needs to
embed sustainability into the corporate culture. Actively pursue a reporting
system that exemplifies a similar transparency and rigor as the system used for
financial reporting.
Against a backdrop of Volatile market in US, client behaviors are
fundamentally changing towards offshoring. Stixis business had to evolve,
shifting its strategic focus on emerging economies (Africa) was the most
critical decision and set priorities to meet an altered market landscape.
Lack of Collective Commitment: Team has experienced and brilliant
individuals but individuals were not working efficiently as a team. Mitigation
- We adopted Work breakdown functionality (feature) based and value creation
based that is delivered by cross-functional, self-organizing teams. Lack of Team
Ownership Problem - Team had a lack of ownership and pride in the work
delivered. Mitigation - Delivery based
on end-to-end ownership of the value creation flow and increased focus on
continuous deployment practices. Bottom-line, we build a unique operating model,
which drives radical improvements to end-to-end cycle time, throughput
velocity, software/product quality and reductions to Work in Process.
Be a perfect mixture of Micromanager & Empowering
Leader. I follow as quoted by Mother Teresa – “She said the role of the CEO is
a contact sport, you need to go around shaking people's hands and holding
shoulders. That's the role of a CEO. This cannot be outsourced! The CEO's role
cannot be communicated through direct reports. There's nothing called enough
communication, you've got to say it again and again. Putting it on the Intranet
is a silly thing to do, nobody goes there. You have to communicate what matters
to you and the company, whether if s values or compliance.”
Passion
is a motivation for myself. I drive with Passion, and inspire others to become
great. The key driver for me is to working together in a true and consistent
manner aligned with my dreams to meet the set goals. Passion is very important
element in my life that helps my motivation. It is in my passion where I
identify the purpose and run towards achieving my vision.
Employees are a key “RIGHT people for the RIGHT positions makes all the
difference”. I motivate my employees by creating work environments that breed
motivation.We have specific talent assessment programs,
followed by a structured performance management model, which helps us identify
skills and capabilities in a candidate who are crucial to our current and
future success. We focus on both critical roles (from a top-down view) and
critical people (from a bottom-up perspective)". Our attrition rate has
historically been one of the lowest in the industry (9-11%). Introducing SEAP
(Stixis Employee Development Program) is aimed on company-wide talent
development. This program brings in innovative ideas from all employees,
evaluates them and rewards qualified ideas, as well as awarding the individuals
with bonuses and SEAP scores convertible into various gifts and incentives.
Hard
work and transparency in my past career proved fruitful to get my first
customer. I had to build a team of engineers who can be trusted to make
business critical decisions, and can manage full software lifecycles
independently, despite being thousands of miles and several time zones apart.
