Simon Sinek, famous for inspiring business leaders all over the world, famously said “A team of people is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other”. But how can you measure ‘trust’ within an organization? Thirty years of research into what makes a great place to work, found that company practices, staff benefits, and career paths play a lesser role. The greater impact is around high-quality relationships, built on – yes, you guessed it – trust, which encompasses credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
Great Place to Work® Institute (GPTW) have developed a rigorous method of assessment to see how organizations live up to these values. Each year it invites IT and IT-BPM (Business Process Management) organizations to participate and be considered among ‘India’s Best Workplaces TM in IT & IT-BPM’.
And SourceFuse has made it into the coveted Top 75 Wall of Fame! Having already achieved recognition for ‘Great Place to Work Mid-Size Organizations’ for five years running, SourceFuse is proud to be acknowledged for the healthy working environment it fosters.
GPTW recognizes the importance of trust within organizations, so much so that as part of the assessment, the element of trust carries a 75% weighting, measuring the quality of employee experience. As well as assessing culture, the quality of organizational practices, GPTW factors in the size of an organization – and SourceFuse has grown its global workforce by more than 125% in the last 18 months. Considering the GPTW assessment is based purely on anonymous employee feedback, making it into the Top 75 best companies to work for validates everything the company stands by:
- Welcoming Culture – From day one, new employees are met and greeted by everyone in the office, and introduced to their new colleagues around the world.
- Recognition and Appreciation – Each month, the SourceFuse business leaders celebrate and reward employee achievements, be it work-related or personal.
- Open Communication and Transparency – With a large global workforce, everyone’s voice can be heard, listened to, and understood, without fear of reprisals.
- High-Trust Workplace – Putting employee experience before profit develops positive engagement and collaboration, and pride in the work they do every day.
- Highly Engaged Company – Regular company-wide meetings, and weekly Friday-Fun events, drives engagement and productivity, and helps retain top talent.
“For me, what has made SourceFuse a really great place to work is the constant communication and honesty between teams. Everyone understands the company’s vision and how we all benefit and advance together. We encourage and support each employee to develop individual career goals for personal growth, building confidence and long-term relationships in the process”, said Gautam Ghai, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, SourceFuse.
Ravdeep Singh, Chief People Officer, SourceFuse, added: “At SourceFuse, our HR function is to constantly strive to support our employees, offering self-development and certification programs to nurture consistent agility in teams. We’ve created an environment of complete transparency and creativity, ensuring that everyone feels valued and appreciated. Growing together is part of our DNA, and Great Place to Work certifies that we do so each day.”
To try and put SourceFuse’s GPTW achievement in perspective, each year, the institute assesses best workplace culture in multiple IT organizations, from large enterprises to small-medium sized businesses. Falling within the top 7.5% of best performing companies is a huge tribute to the care and dedication it shows towards its workforce.
Nevertheless, once assessed and recognized as one of the best companies to work for, the job doesn’t end there: SourceFuse is committed to its roadmap of ongoing mutual success. Through GPTW, the assessment enables SourceFuse to continue benchmarking itself against the best performing companies. The GPTW Benchmarking Report provides actionable insights around areas of strength and improvement, and possible next steps to make further improvements in particular areas of the organization.
