We leverage a combination of online tools (Yammer, MS Teams, SharePoint) and collaborative interventions (People Week, ongoing and annual R&R event, manager-employee connects, Learning Month, CEO Town Halls and leadership connects) to foster continuous engagement amongst our employees. Our culture of listening, engagement, continuous development and recognition enables us to foster deeper connections with all of our employees. Our workplaces have been designed to encourage in-person camaraderie and collaboration.
Our unique domain advantage in consulting enables our customers to streamline their supply chain. We thrive on change through technology and innovation, and we help our customers thrive on change. Our employees take pride in the sense of belonging and inclusion in the organization, where they can bring their true self to the workplace and propel themselves in a career that is challenging and rewarding.
We foster open and ongoing feedback, ensuring that our employees play a pivotal role in building culture. Our culture of innovation helps bring out new ideas that further our efforts in enhancing customer experience. Our annual and year-round engagement surveys, Employee Resource Groups, leadership town halls and leader-manager connects ensure that employees are at the core of our culture of listening. Our diversity, equity and inclusion philosophy revolves around valuing the dignity of each individual and providing a safe space for all. Our ethics and governance program furthers our efforts in this direction.
Our people are our competitive advantage. To continue to be the best at what we do and to deliver on our promises, we have firmly rooted our performance management framework in capability building and our unique meta competency model. The framework has been designed to address two key aspects of performance – work output and behavior. This is further supported through our culture of continuous feedback. We consistently invest in upskilling our workforce in response to market needs to ensure that our entire workforce is future-ready and able to meaningfully contribute to the customers and industries we serve.
Our core values serve as the compass that guides our actions.
1. Good Corporate Citizenship: Doing business with a larger social purpose
2. Professionalism: Choosing the best people and empowering them to do their best
3. Quality Focus: Not just in our products but in our actions and interactions
4. Customer First: The customer is at the center of our universe
5. Dignity of the Individual: People are the cornerstone of our business
These 5 core values are embodied in our Rise philosophy which at its essence is about shared values. Driving positive change in the lives of our communities is interconnected with our success. Only when we enable others to rise will we rise.
Our employees take pride in the Total Rewards framework at Bristlecone – inclusive benefits (health and beyond), recognition framework, service anniversary celebrations, flexible working, focus on mental wellbeing, to name a few. A common quality throughout our leadership team is the approachability and transparency in communication. Our employee experience is built on the foundation of employee involvement – be it learning, engagement or continuous feedback. We bring in a perfect blend of the best of being a part of our parent company (Mahindra Group), while being a more nimble, medium-sized organization.
Our CEO, Nirav Patel, is a staunch advocate of our employee-first philosophy. He leads by example by ensuring that he is involved in connects across levels through quarterly town halls, employee group meets, annual recognition program, etc. He role models the values of Bristlecone and has signed CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge to further demonstrate his support and advocacy. He has been instrumental in coining the term ‘culture of listening’ at Bristlecone and encourages leaders to listen to their teams and respond. Our CEO introduced the One Bristlecone Strategy that united the organization, from both an employee and a customer perspective.
Our benefits and Total Rewards program are inclusive in nature and crafted to address unique needs of our employees. We stay ahead of the curve through our annual compensation and benefits benchmarking, lucrative variable pay program, competitive increments, generous leave (including unlimited vacation in the US), inclusive medical benefits (including transgender benefits) and mental wellbeing program. Our parental leave benefits (including work-from-home benefit until the child turns one) is one of our key differentiators and even covers same gender partners and single parents. Our continuous increase in employee satisfaction scores is testimony of the impact of our programs.
Bristlecone is the leading provider of AI-powered application transformation services for the connected supply chain. We put our people first. We empower our employees and our customers with speed, visibility, automation and resiliency – to thrive on change. We challenge conventional thinking and innovatively use all our resources to drive positive change in the lives of our stakeholders and communities across the world, to enable them to Rise. This is our purpose, why we exist and why we come to work every day, infusing our lives with meaning, and galvanizing us to deliver on our promise.
