If it demands respect, it’s Infosys.
Recently I came across the news that Infosys has been ranked at no. 3 on Forbes’ 2019 list of The World’s Best Regarded Companies. As I read this news, I could feel a smile appear on my lips and I murmured to myself, “So true!”.
Having spent a little more than 8 years at Infosys, I can convincingly say that it is an absolute delight to be a part of this wonderful organization. And I don’t say that just for the sake of it. There is a definite reason behind why I feel this way and it is the respect that Infosys gives to its each employee.
When I joined Infosys I was pleasantly surprised to witness how each individual is respected for what he/she is. No matter what your level of knowledge or your skills are, the company respects and recognizes your skillsets and allows you to utilize them to the full potential. In fact, it also enables one to learn and develop new skills. When I was a new joinee, I had very little knowledge about my area of work. But my team and organization did not see it as a roadblock. In fact, I was given all the opportunities to learn and master the skills required. The support I received from my team was excellent and that helped me to not only to develop my skills but also excel in my area of work.
The amount of effort that Infosys puts behind each employee is an indication of how valuable each of us are to the organization and that comes from inherent respect in the company.
And this respect not only centers the area of work but also extends to areas like hobbies and passion, gender, sexual orientation, culture, nationality, disability, and other aspects of an individual’s identity. Infosys does not discriminate. It lays immense value on a person’s abilities, knowledge and expertise. It cherishes each employee the way he or she is, and allows each one to be his/her own self. This creates a very positive work environment which plays a major role in boosting employees’ morale and motivates them as well.
Infosys has been and will always be special to me for all this. I truly feel lucky to be part of this organization.
