Minakshi Arora, CHRO
Today’s corporate world serves as the perfect specimen for the Darwin’s theory ‘survival of the fittest’, where organizations that constantly raise the bar for themselves at the innovation front surge ahead of the competition. We believe that people are the prime source of innovation. Everything starts with inculcating a strong workplace culture that treats every employee like an entrepreneur. Synonymous with catalysing innovation, the entrepreneurial culture is the antidote to stagnation and acts as a propeller thrusting an organization to newer heights. Building an empowering environment and the entrepreneurial mindset is easier said than done, especially in giant organizations. An extremely lean environment grapples to accomplish their goals devoid of a strong focus, whereas a highly bureaucratic workplace extinguishes the spark of creativity. The perfect entrepreneurial culture must be instilled via positive reinforcement and continual communication, where risk-takers are encouraged, taking ownership is rewarded, and creative impulse is cherished. Trident Group, a billion-dollar home textile conglomerate, has been adeptly wielding this three-pronged strategy to empower its members (as it refers to its employees) to experience entrepreneurship with unlimited opportunities.

25 Best Companies to Work for – 2019
The President & CEO of Upshot, Brian Kristofek once narrated - “Being a great place to work is the difference between being a good company and a great company”. A good workplace culture not only defines a great company but also helps its people taste the right harmony between their personal and professional lives as well as benefits & perks galore. Harnessing the best might of workplace culture, many companies have proven to have performed better with unparalleled agility and speed, attracted and retained the best talents, developed incredible innovations and grown with profound professional excellence. According to Great Place to Work® Institute, a great workplace from employees’ perspective is one where they “TRUST the people they work for; have PRIDE in what they do; and ENJOY the people they work with”. On the other hand from the manager’s perspective, a great workplace is one where they “ACHIEVE organizational objectives; with employees who GIVE their personal best; and WORK together as a team / FAMILY in an environment of TRUST”. Clearly, a perfect workplace culture can be nailed only with the collective collaboration and efforts of employees along with their leaders in an organization. Over the past few years, digital transformation, Industry 4.0 and emerging technologies have been drastically modifying a range of attributes of organizations thus, placing the workplace culture of today in stark contrast to what it was years ago. Given this huge impact of technology today, it is essential for organizations to mould their cultures in tune with the trends of flexible working, seamless connectivity, automation, AI, chatbots, digital assistants, and many others.
