Kanbay offers a work culture that promotes open communication and empowerment
Wednesday, September 06, 2006

A well defined career path and a good work culture are key factors that make Kanbay one of the Top 20 employers. Some of the new HR initiatives started in 2005-06 include implementation of a role-based competency development program for associate career management.

The company has also implemented a flight risk analysis tool as part of its associate retention strategy. This covers mapping all associates to a tool, which identifies highly valuable company resources to the business. Kanbay has also initiated an education and awareness exercise through its mandatory culture-orientation program for new hires.

Employees expressed strong confidence in Kanbay's culture of employee empowerment. However, salary and absence of adequate initiatives to give recognition to top performers are pain areas for the company. Kanbay also needs to work at creating more challenging opportunities at work. Overall, the company has managed to score fairly well on the employee satisfaction parameters and fared even better on its HR score.
