Mindtree Consulting: A School for Leaders ; Mindtree Walks the Extra Mile to Empower Its Employees and Care for Them.

Summary

---

Two months after MindTree Consulting was formed in August 1999, it recruited its 27th employee, Bhageerathi D.R, and in the following week its 33rd employee, Babuji Abraham. They are still with the company; and they are not alone in choosing to stay with MindTree. Only five of its 50 senior managers have left the company since inception. "Today, eight years later, the entire (10-member) founding team is still together and the attrition rate at the senior level is just 1 per cent," says Ashok Soota, 64, Chairman & Managing Director of the company. The company obviously takes pride in being able to retain people. "I think the one key differentiator is the focus we have maintained on continuing to create leadership within MindTree and ensuring that its leadership walks the talk," says Krishnaku-mar Natarajan, President and CEO, it Services, MindTree, and one of its co-founders.

The company, like most others on our list, has institutionalised practices to make itself employee-friendly. "We seek feedback from people within the company on areas that are working well and also on those that need improvement. Secondly, we identify and adapt best- in-class practices from globally admired organisations to help increase the engagement levels," says Soota.
