Next 10: 11 - Kanbay: Open Doors

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.
