Dear employee, thank you for your feedback. The management and teams at MGI have always strived to create an environment that's congenial and conducive to each employee's growth. Knowing that you're appreciative of the said workplace environment makes us happy and encourages us to keep doing more. Regarding the leave deductions during the lockdown, we understand that this is a point of concern. During the pandemic, our leave policy was tailored to assist those affected by COVID-19, adapting as necessary from the first wave through the third. We constantly updated our approach to align with evolving health guidelines and the immediate needs of our workforce. We aimed to balance fairness with the requirements of our operations, ensuring support where it was most needed. As for your concern regarding our WFH policy, it is imperative to understand that our operational modalities require our employees to be at the office. That said, we do offer work-from-home arrangements in unprecedented events/situations such as the Covid-19 crisis. Speaking of politics, we have a zero-tolerance policy. We strongly condemn discrimination in any form and firmly believe in equality and equity. Therefore, our appraisal and promotional policies are unbiased, and our employees are solely rewarded on the basis of their merits and initiatives. Furthermore, our appraisals are based on a comprehensive, performance review procedure that follows international standards. It incorporates a ranking system built on a substantial number of assessment parameters and tangible metrics, making it accurate, objective, and fair. On top of that, we have another level of evaluation wherein the managers at MGI follow a structured and well-defined process, which also includes a significant number of parameters to evaluate employee performance. This detailed protocol is implemented each year with absolute precision, and the multiple levels of review and feedback are specially designed to minimise bias and ensure transparency and fairness. As for the timings, we extend a flexible working model wherein our employees are free to choose a clock-in-time/work window at their convenience, thereby enabling them to complete the standard number of hours per day or week when it suits them best. We hope your concerns were addressed. For anything else, please make use of our internal communication channels. We also have suggestion boxes at the office if you want to share your concerns anonymously. Please feel free to do so if required. Thank you, Merkur Gaming India

Dear employee, thank you for your feedback. At MGI, we continually strive to foster a workplace environment that supports each employee's growth and well-being. It’s encouraging to hear your positive sentiments, and it inspires us to continue enhancing the workplace experience. As for your concern regarding learning - if you feel you've maximised your potential, there are multiple ways to grow and contribute to the organisation. For starters, you can speak to your manager about assigning additional challenging tasks within your current domain. This can directly help in enhancing your learning curve. Next, you can explore the possibility of switching to a different team working on a different domain or technology. We're one of the few companies wherein such transfers are encouraged and made possible, provided the switch falls within the scope of the company's policies. Furthermore, a dedicated team at Merkur India conducts regular skill assessments for all employees. This process helps identify skill gaps and create customised training courses to bridge those gaps. Speaking of training, we have a yearly training calendar for all teams at MGI. It includes professional development workshops on technical skill enhancement, on-the-job training for recruits, refresher sessions for seasoned employees and language & soft skills training. Our employees also gain priceless international exposure through on-site training and visits to leading gaming EXPOs worldwide. We strive to ensure that our employees stay on top of their game, provide necessary support whenever needed, and experience 360-degree growth. For further concerns, please use our internal communication channels. Our systems provide multiple ways to make yourself heard - you can speak to your reporting manager or reach out to the HR team or even the top management, for that matter. We also have suggestion boxes at the office if you want to anonymise your concerns. Please feel free to do so if required. Thank you, Merkur Gaming India

Dear employee, thank you for your feedback. To address the highlighted remarks, we’d like to put forth some details. At Merkur India, we conduct regular skill assessments to identify areas for improvement and provide targeted training programs.

As for company culture, please note that Merkur India’s ecosystem is built on collaboration wherein every input is equally valued, and each voice is heard alike – a culture that telegraphs camaraderie, mutual respect and unwavering support.

Dear employee, thank you so much for your feedback. We’re happy you’re experiencing the most sought-after work-life balance at Merkur India. Our workforce is our backbone, and creating a balanced culture for them has always been our priority since the company’s inception. Over the years, we’ve strived to do just that and to see that vision manifesting and resonating so well with you encourages us to keep doing more. Regarding your concern about the cab facility, we believe you’re talking about our shuttle service. Firstly, we’d like to put forth the details of the said service. It’s a company-sponsored transport facility that picks and drops our employees from the nearest metro stations, should they choose to avail it. The vehicles used are company-owned and are driven by company-employed drivers. The purpose of this facility is to provide rapid, stress-free connectivity between the office and the nearest metro stations, especially during traffic-ridden office hours. Keeping this in mind, if you have further feedback on the facility’s improvement, we request you to voice your concerns in detail via our internal communication system. Thank you, Merkur Gaming India

Dear employee, thank you for your feedback. Firstly, using such brevity while voicing your concerns on a public platform isn't beneficial to you or the company. The only purpose it's serving is misrepresenting the company's culture and maligning its reputation in front of prospective employees. We value your time, but in such cases, details hold precedence over time so that the company can clearly understand your point of view. We always welcome suggestions aimed at enhancing our work environment and culture, and we value constructive feedback. However, airing grievances on a public platform may not be the most effective way to drive positive change. Secondly, we have a systematic communication channel within the company and a complementing open-door policy that enables every employee to approach their reporting manager, the HR team and even the top management without hesitation. Taking that approach is an efficient and ethical way of reaching the right ears, thereby helping the concerned team to assist you better. In case you're still hesitant, we've placed suggestion boxes where any employee can anonymously express their opinions or concerns, thus making it an employee-centric feedback mechanism. And lastly, regarding work timings, we want to highlight that our employee-first policies offer flexibility. Our work culture is one of freedom, and we trust our people to get their designated tasks completed in time. Therefore, they are free to choose a clock-in-time/work window at their convenience, thereby enabling them to complete the standard number of hours per day or week when it suits them best. Thank you, Merkur Gaming India

Employer’s Response

Dear employee, thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciate the job security at Merkur India. However, the second claim, where you’ve pointed fingers at our valuable managers and senior officials, is unsubstantiated and unacceptable. You have gone to the extent of making false remarks about individuals with whom you share a workplace, and that’s highly unethical. You’ve also indicated that the culture at Merkur India is one of bias when it’s anything but. It’s important for you to know that our organisation is built on two foundational pillars – equality and equity (among many others). Therefore, our appraisal and promotional policies are unbiased, and our workforce is solely rewarded on the basis of their merits and initiatives. That said, if an employee outperforms themselves and makes extraordinary contributions, the said employee deserves recognition and is rewarded appropriately. To reiterate, we have zero tolerance towards politics and strongly condemn discrimination in any form. Speaking of office timings, our work culture is one of freedom, and we trust our people to get their designated tasks completed in time. Therefore, as per our employee-first policies, we offer flexible work timings. Contrary to your claim, our employees are free to choose a clock-in-time/work window at their convenience, thereby enabling them to complete the standard number of hours per day or week when it suits them best. Lastly, we urge you to use our internal communication channels and articulate your concerns in a constructive manner. In the meantime, we request that you remove this disparaging feedback and cooperate with us. Thank you, Merkur Gaming India
