Having surfaced from a bootstrap startup, Xapads has surely come a long way in the past 19 years! As we celebrate this milestone, it reflects a journey of dedication, hard work, and constant adjustments of policies made during this time. Here are a few key points that have helped along the way:

Double the Appraisal, Double the Joy

Our annual double appraisal scheme for our employees was, and still is, often viewed as unconventional. However, the approach has helped us with remarkable results, ensuring a retention rate of 92%, fostering better relationships, and creating a happier workplace. This highlights the effectiveness of bi-annual appraisals with frequent recognition and growth opportunities, which boosts employee morale and satisfaction, ultimately driving greater productivity and a positive organizational culture.

Empowering Women: Policies with Perk!

As HR actively ensured to narrow the widening gender gap in corporate settings, we introduced progressive, women-friendly policies aimed at fostering convenience and inclusivity to enhance female representation. This includes menstrual, and maternity leaves, with adherence to women’s safety norms to make a safe and secure second home for the female staff. Also, for women relocated elsewhere after marriage, we managed to accommodate an effective virtual communication channel. It includes instant messaging, online meetings, and conference calls to enhance productivity during flexible work hours.

Fostering Flexible Workplace

To make Xapads a better place for employees, we focus on promoting a healthy work-life balance with the adoption of a “no question asked leave” policy. This way, employees can utilize their leaves, restricted holidays, celebration leave, and paternity leave with ease as all these can easily be accessed via their ZOHO accounts, which allow easy tracking and management of employees’ everyday activities.

Fun & Fellowship 

Additionally, to foster a supportive and collaborative workplace, we frequently organize events such as Gully Cricket, sports tournaments, festive celebrations, and annual international trips to bring employees together. These precious times build strong connections and lasting memories to recall. Further, it creates a sense of brotherhood among folks with them recognizing each other’s contributions, skills, and strengths. As a result, Xapads as a whole, collectively celebrate and partake in each employee’s accomplishments, traditions, and diversities to cultivate appreciation and unity.

Lastly, the engaging activities have fostered open and consistent communication, trust, and seamless cooperation between inmates facilitating innovative solutions that drive elevated performance for sustained growth and competitiveness. This commitment to passion, innovation, and inclusivity has earned us a remarkable GPTW score of 92, and looking ahead, as we enter our 20th year at Xapads, we are poised for even greater prosperity, collective accomplishments, and new opportunities with Xapads family.

Together, towards tomorrow, let’s continue to reach new heights!
