A GLIMPSE INTO LIFE AT THE SCALERS – COMPANY CULTURE, EVENTS AND MORE

Corporate or company culture has been an HR buzzword for a few years now. Gaining momentum throughout the world, company culture is changing the way we think about work, urging us to consider new ways of conducting daily business.

But what’s really at the core of corporate culture? In one word — people. A workplace shouldn’t ever be something that your employees dread going to every day. In fact, it should be something that they look forward to and a place that they have a hard time leaving because they enjoy the environment, their co-workers, and the day-to-day challenges of their role. While the work may be difficult, the atmosphere at work shouldn’t add to it.

And that’s exactly why culture matters — because culture sustains enthusiasm and enthusiastic employees mean more productivity. This ultimately leads to more profits for the business.

But that’s not all…

Company culture also acts as a great recruiting tool. You’re bound to attract more talented individuals if you have an open working environment, practice transparency, and collaboration as opposed to filling up your office with cubicles and limiting your employees’ freedom.

So what’s the company culture at The Scalers like?

Ever since The Scalers was established 5 years ago, the company’s culture has never been about values plastered on the walls, the fruit bowls on the desk, or bean bags to lounge in. While all those perks are great, they’ve never really captured what we stand for.

However, what has defined our culture has always been the people — our people. Our company culture goes way beyond the perks and employee-centric benefits and focuses on offering each employee a voice. Our culture is based on honest and productive conversations, team-building activities, celebrations, and pure unfiltered joy.

Let’s take a look…

The above collage is from when we celebrated Onam at The Scalers last year. Onam is Kerala’s national harvesting festival that marks the homecoming of mythical demon King Mahabali. People create a carpet of flowers, also known as ‘Pookkalam’, in front of their house to welcome the King.

Several traditional rituals such as snake boat races, folk dances, and recreational folk art are also performed, followed by a lavish feast called ‘Sadhya‘. People wear new traditional clothes, cook delicacies, and serve them on banana leaves followed by a cup of ‘Payasam’, which is a dessert made of jaggery and milk.
