ACTitude

Life at ACT is a fine balance between great work and better lives outside of work too. We respect the need for a balance between work and your personal needs, and to promote flexible working conditions, ACT offers various initiatives to incorporate personal interests into your overall schedule.

ACTitude is one such initiative to make a positive difference in how our employees perceive their work and workplace. Several events, competitions and activities define ACTitude! ACTitude is not only for encouraging a conducive, healthy and cheerful work environment, but also to strengthen the spirit of togetherness, victory and success.

Swasthya

Your health and well-being is integrated into every aspect of ACT'sbusiness module. Recognizing that every one of you is different, we work with you to identify solutions that address your wellness needs. With this aim, ACT Swasthya (in other terms "health") was introduced focusing on health & well-being of the employees at ACT in the year 2012.

To make health a way of life, the sessions focussed on awareness workshops which included talks by eminent doctors in the field of cardiology, orthopaedics, gynaecology for female employees etc. Various health camps have been conducted for employees to assess their health - Eye check-up camps, thyroid assessment, dermatology, heart check-up etc.

Additionally dental camps were conducted in a few locations. Recently, self-defence sessions were conducted for women employees by professional trainers which focussed on simple, yet very effective techniques.

Family Day

Being with your family brings positive energy and creates exciting moments. When celebrating a good year's work, you know it's a great feeling to communicate with each other, share stories, and bring laughter among your family members.

At ACT, every quarter we celebrate our families by having a fun filled, memorable and inspiring day of events where our family members are invited to office to connect. Held at every location, typically the family day have fun and learning sessions planned for the entire family where kids can come to enjoy the best day of their year and partners can relax and socialise.

The platform is open to all employees across all functions and levels. Winning ideas are rolled out across the organisation and will be chosen for awards.

Recognition @ ACT

You are among the best and brightest in the business and with a focus on continuous improvement we reward you for certain achievements and activities. We believe that the right recognition programme can have measureable impact on your job performance and personal development, and hence designed some progressive recognition programmes.

Star Awards

It is extremely important that everyone realizes that their work is appreciated and excellence is rewarded. With intent to consistently reinforce key employee behaviours and outcomes necessary for business success we have introduced "Star Awards" to felicitate star performers. In a glistening ceremony on the 1st Monday of every month, in front a huge gathering of colleagues and peers, the best performers of the month will be rewarded, along with a citation highlighting their excellence. To ensure that the excellence is continued, the awardees will be inducted into the "Spartan Club"

Spotlight Awards

Spotlight Awards is an instant recognition mechanism, where anyone feels or observes that an employee of the organization has excelled in his domain, or has performed beyond expectations, he/she can recognize and recommend that person for rewards. A certificate with the citation written and a gift voucher is given on the spot. This news will then be communicated with other employees and will be displayed on kiosk screens in the office.

This has facilitated an environment of appreciation and pride in the organization. The citations also serve as examples of behaviours that are appreciated. Around 300 employees have been given the Spotlight Awards.

Appreciate Your Colleague Initiative

At ACT we strongly believe that any act big or small should be appreciated. We introduced this platform to provide employees an access to express their gratitude to their colleagues. A "Thanks BOT" has also been introduced recently to automate this platform.
