Incorporating Freedom in the Workplace

The nation is super excited, as India is to celebrate its 75th year of Independence. A special “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign, run by our government was the talk of the town across the country.?Children dressed in white uniforms wave their flags enthusiastically and will troop toward their schools, hoping for some sugary treats when they return. The kids march in their school’s playground in a straight formation to the beat of the drums and pay tribute to the freedom fighters. The rhythms of “Jana Gana Mana” and “Vande Mataram” fill the atmosphere as the flag hosting ceremony begins. This is the very moment when every Indian gets goose bumps to the chant of the national l anthem. It is indeed going to be a very special occasion as we are about to witness this glorious day after a break of two years of a global pandemic.

India, one of the largest democracies in the world, entails plenty of responsibilities and accountability. On August 15th, we historically celebrate the morality and power of freedom as it manifests in the system of the Indian democratic government. It turns out that incorporating freedom in the workplace generates similar positive outcomes. It takes time to build a freedom-based organization, but even a small amount of independence can have a huge impact. Given the fierce competition in many industries, freedom and flexibility may be critical in retaining top talent, staying updated, and finding success. Here are some examples of how we offer our employees a nurturing, caring environment, and a culture of freedom at work. Are you ready? Let’s go.

The Authority To Make Decision

We inspire our employees to make the final decision on the initiatives they would like to work on. We design an architecture that allows employees to make decisions by themselves while the company maintains its growth.

The Ability To Express Oneself

We allow our employees to express themselves freely, even if it contradicts the company's Policies. We move a step ahead, by empowering our people to express and convey their perspectives. A place where a variety of thought thrives!!

Freedom To Experiment and Test New Ideas

We cheer our employees to try interesting concepts, reward and recognize those who perform well and encourage/ motivate those who try but fail. We reward employees who put across innovative ideas and solutions.?

The Ability To Fail yet Rise Again

Fear is a powerful emotion, strong enough to block potentially game-changing breakthroughs. We offer a fostering environment where our employees are not hesitant to try new ideas and fail and strengthen to prosper-if they do. That's how impactful businesses are made.
