Power to the People
e4e believes in empowering people but the message is not reaching through

E4e witnessed a huge fall of nearly 10 points in its Empex score. Result: its overall ranking took a severe beating, down from #2 last year to #6 this year.

The fall in rank should not mean that e4e has stopped taking care of its employees. It continued to focus on employee friendly initiatives and even scored well in many parameters like job content, salary, and work-culture. Many employees also felt excited about the growth opportunities within the organization. Most of them were satisfied with the perks and benefits given too.

Employees even admitted that the company encouraged them to take risk in the work they are doing. E4e attributes this to providing opportunities to employees to showcase their creativity and, therefore, contribute to the company.

Rank - 6

To continue the fairy tale, most employees at e4e are not even overtly stressed with their work. The fun-at-work model, flexible work time policy, and provision to work from home seem to be motivating employees.

However, it would be naive to assume that everything is hunky dory, especially when e4e slipped significantly on the overall ranking. There are contradictory signals emanating from employees: while some employees are thriving on a stress-free environment, a few disgruntled souls pointed out job fatigue and lack of work life balance for employee attrition. Recruitment of skilled workforce, within a relatively short time frame, has therefore become a grave challenge.

Other reasons for e4es low ratings include its corporate governance initiatives, the prevailing work culture and the appraisal system. Naresh Vassudhev, senior director, HR however claims that the company follows a very robust appraisal system.

As part of the new HR strategy, company-wide competency mapping exercise was also introduced for identifying key competencies of individuals. The company doesnt follow a hierarchical model and has a specialized mentorship program where three or four employees are assigned as mentors.
