EMPOWERING EMPLOYEES Shraddhanjali Rao, Head of HR, Google India
WHAT DO THE employees of a company that provides answers to practically everything search for? Like other professionals, they too are looking for a workplace culture that values respect and has avenues for personal growth. What is the answer of the company (it’s Google in case you haven’t guessed it already) for them? For Google India, it is flexibility in their approach towards how (and where) employees work. And there’s a simple reason why Google is doing it.
“For two decades, India has been the crucible where Google’s innovation has thrived. We’ve grown our presence across five cities and created a workplace and culture for India’s best talent to develop many of our global solutions with India’s unique needs at the forefront,” says Sanjay Gupta, Country Head & Vice President of Google India.
Driven by this, Google offers customised development opportunities to employees (called Googlers), which ranges from formal programmes to informal learning through projects and cross-functional collaborations. For instance, full-time employees are eligible for the ‘20% Projects’ programme that lets them dedicate up to 20% of their work time to pursue side projects of their choice.
