One Persistent
‘One Persistent’ is all about giving employees
across the organization a shared sense of
purpose that is aligned with the organizational
goals, irrespective of their individual roles and
the organizational unit to which they belong. We
worked on:
Core Values
Our core values continue to guide us in our
day-to-day work, help us deal with conflict, and
keep us focused on our collective goal.
Building on last year’s efforts, we continued
promoting awareness about our core values
across the organization throughout FY 2018-19.
A video series dedicated to explaining Persistent’s
core values was rolled out in two seasons. In
season one, Dr. Anand Deshpande and our Board
of Directors explained what the core values
mean to Persistent. In season two, our leaders
spoke about why they think the core values are
important, explaining how they help both the
individual and the organization. Tabletop artifacts
that reinforce our core values were presented
to the leaders of all our Global centers with the
intent of having them displayed on their desks.
At the end of the year, we observed an increased
awareness among our employees.
Employee Connect
Employees began to share stories from work as
well as personal anecdotes through our Monday
Coffee email communication.
During the year, we stepped up our efforts to
connect with employees. Over 4,800 connect
meetings were conducted to keep analyzing
the employee pulse. These connect programs
included HR Leadership connect, DH/DP
connect, Project Manager connect, focus group
discussions, and skip level meetings. The
‘Frank Survey’ was conducted in December.
We observed a slight increase in employee
participation as well as in the overall positive
perception of their experience at work.
