Keeping our purpose and people at the centre, always
Nickelfox was officially recognised as a Great Place To Work (GPTW) in June 2022.The dream to provide Dignified Employment to all received a formal acknowledgement. The happiest part of this milestone was that it was based on employee reviews. In a way, it was our people who voted us as a ‘great place to work’!
Our team’s trust is most important for us, as much as delivering solutions that impact society. We’ve always sought to know whether our team is happy and contended with their work. Whether they feel respected at work. Whether they do their job with a sense of purpose? Do they have enough learning opportunities? Do they see themselves growing? We connected with our team and gathered authentic responses to these questions. Our people are our strength. They are the pillars on which our work culture rests. By understanding the kind of place, they would love to work in and feel proud of, we built a culture that kept people at the centre of our business.
The idea is to enable our people to bring their real selves to work. We believe no matter what services we offer, the most valuable gift we can give to the world is our own selves. Only when people can be genuinely themselves, can they contribute wholeheartedly and work towards creating a better society. We opted for this certification to review our existing culture. And it gives us immense pleasure to realise that our work culture aligns with the expectations of our people. The Great Place To Work title isn’t just a badge for us, it is an acknowledegment that we are doing something meaningful. That our efforts are creating value in the lives of people. And that our team works with a sense of purpose and continues to be motivated to deliver solutions that create a better world.
