Putting Employees at the Forefront of the Transformative Change
Simon Sinek, a renowned American author and a motivational speaker, once said – When people are financially invested, they want a return, but when people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute. The aforementioned quote may appear just as a sentence for many, but for Model N it is not merely a sentence or quote, rather it’s a belief and key to achieving success. Not just that, people nowadays prefer a congenial workplace along with a good salary package, and to keep them aligned with the organizational vision and goals, it takes dedicated engagement programs infused with motivational operations in order to maneuver employees. Model N is one such top-tier software organization that embraces a unique culture of amalgamating its people with innovation, creativity, technology and empathetic leadership to inspire its employee population and to ignite transformation in the industry. Today, where most of the organizations focus mainly on the growth of their business, Model N stands apart by considering its employees in the first place.
Most recently, Model N has taken the Covid-19 outbreak very seriously since the company’s top priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees and customers. Model N quickly moved to a remote work model providing all employees resources and on-going support needed to do their jobs successfully anywhere they are located. Company executives have embraced opportunities to engage with employees on a regular basis through Town Halls, All Hands Meetings and office hours to keep strong connections and communications with employees and to ensure that employees worldwide have the tools and information necessary to stay productive and engaged during this unprecedented time.

Besides, the organization possesses a strong culture that improves the levels of employee engagement, productivity, and performance.

Model N’s culture is driven by a set of core values called DARE (Dream, Align, Respect, and Excel), and the organization has been following the same since its inception. The company strives hard to recognize reaching for the ‘Dream’ that is innovation and sensible risk-taking.

The company’s ‘Alpha Women Club’ is a representation of the women employees in the system and its around 32 percent currently. Talking about the privilege, Model N under its open environment offers various facilities to its employees including Work from Home and other flexibilities.
Making a Difference
Talking about communities, Model N is deeply engaged in various CSR activities throughout the year. The organization has a committee called ‘Samarthan – Small Deeds, Big Difference’. “As a part of this initiative, we have adopted a government school and we take an active part in providing breakfast for the school children,” says the leader. She continues, “We also ensured that the sanitation facilities improve in the school. We took care of their books, bags, sweaters and shoe requirements for all the 160 students in the school. The kids felt encouraged and the attendance went up substantially”.
