Next 10: 20 - Interra Information Technologies: For The People
It's a rare case of the CEO donning the HR hat and spearheading people initiatives
Wednesday, September 06, 2006

Interra Information Technologies is a new entrant in our survey. Last year, it created a special group called '4x18', which Asoke Laha personally leads. The recommendation of the group led to the creation of several new policies like annual vacations and flexi-timings.

The annual performance appraisal system has also been redesigned. An exercise was undertaken by the 4x18 group to capture the job expectations of the InterraIT-ians. Based on the feedback of the employees, the company set up a Toastmasters Club to enhance communication skills across the organization. Currently, a pilot is on and will be rolled out based on the results of the pilot in the next 12-18 months. The management has introduced the concept of an 'Individualized Corporation' that empowers employees to take decisions and risks at work, and creates a sense of ownership.
