We will be courteous in our dealings with everybody we interact with including our employees, customers, suppliers, consultants, job applicants and stockholders. We will strive for win-win relationships.
Being a services organization, we will promote a “Customer First” work culture. We will set realistic expectations with the customers upfront and throughout the life span of a project. We will try not only to meet expectations but also to delight the customer. If a customer expresses dissatisfaction we will engage in an open dialog and try to work out the best possible outcome. We will strive to become a reliable and trusted partner of our customer. Whenever possible, we will provide additional support to customers in order to assist in their business.
Our employees are our most important asset and we will treat them as such. We will employ, evaluate, promote, and award raises to people purely based on their contribution to Softaid’s business and not any other criteria. Having decided the requirements for each job, only those who demonstrate their potential to meet the requirements will be employed by Softaid. We will not allow any favoritism or nepotism. We will honestly answer all queries of prospective employees during the recruitment process to help them make an informed decision.
We will recognize and reward contribution of our employees irrespective of their position in Softaid. We will actively support their growth and professional development. We will promote a work culture in which our employees feel encouraged, unafraid, and empowered to take risks in order to satisfy Softaid’s customers and improve our capabilities.
Softaid’s leadership will be a model to the rest of the employees. Through personal example they will demonstrate to their team members the meaning and application of all the things mentioned in this document. The emphasis will be on collective brilliance and collective achievements, “we” and not “I”. When there is success, they will look out of the window and attribute success to factors other than themselves. When things go poorly, however, they will look in the mirror and take full responsibility.
Our leaders will not resort to blame game in case of failures or problems. They will constantly strive to acquire and improve leadership and management skills to meet the challenges of Softaid’s business.
We will promote a team-based and informal culture and establish a fun and safe working environment. People will feel free and unafraid to express their views. We will foster a culture of problem-solving in place of analysis-paralysis and finger-pointing. We will forbid any type of discrimination or harassment in our offices.
In essence, even though most of our employees will be on projects working closely with customer teams, they will always proudly represent the Softaid culture.
We will not tolerate any kind of workplace politics, examples of which are listed below:- Giving access of required knowledge to only selected people
- Forming groups to defy business decisions of Softaid leaders
- Holding customer projects hostage to demands
- Finding loopholes and bypassing Softaid policies for personal gain
- Informing the customer about change of job before the Softaid manager in order to pressurize the customer and Softaid management
We will be responsible to the community in which we work and live. We will serve as a reliable source of information on matters pertaining to our field of business. We will contribute to the betterment of the society in the areas of civic improvement, education and health.
