Allsec Technologies maintained last years momentum; with compensation being its core employee satisfaction metric, it even improved on that parameter. In the year under review, Allsecs employees gave a thumbs up to compensation and appraisalthe two challenging areas where every company struggles to strike a balance.

Allsec managed to attain a high degree of transparency in the appraisal system by implementing an HR tool that gives an online score of employees performance on a day-to-day basis, according to R Vaithiyanathan, senior VP, operations and HR. It is a SWOT-based system and gives a clear view of where employees stand in terms of performance, with an aim to help employees identify their weaknesses and work toward improving it well ahead of formal appraisals.

Allsec has been known for its tenure-based bonuses, irrespective of employee performance. But over the last year, it made significant changes here and linked tenure-based bonuses with performance. Regular increments once in six months, which were earlier not linked to performance, have now been linked to performance with no upper limits, and three retention bonuses. And this has resulted in employees being highly satisfied with the compensation, says Vaithiyanathan.

The creation of HR business partners within the organization is another significant move by the company. Here, partners work closely with employees and help them identify their core competencies and achieve that with proper skills advocated through a mentoring system.

On the flip side, employees rated the company low on growth opportunities. The company, while agreeing to these findings, attributes them to the tight core leadership that has not seen any major attrition, and hence, employees perceived growing beyond a certain point difficult. Employees also gave low ratings to the kind of work they handle. The company says that being a BPO, the nature of work remains fairly routine but despite that it does provide exciting opportunities in new processes.
