Employer’s Response

We appreciate and acknowledge your feedback and thank you for taking the time and writing a review for us. We would like to take this opportunity to offer our perspective on some of the points you raised. In the current challenging economic climate, marked by recession and conflicts, many companies are unfortunately resorting to mass layoffs. However, we are steadfast in our commitment to sustainability. This commitment was evident during the pandemic when we swiftly transitioned to a work-from-home model, managing to navigate the challenges with zero layoffs. Also, it's worth noting that, unlike some of our counterparts, we continue to conduct appraisals to recognize and reward the hard work and dedication of our team members. In addition to weathering the economic challenges, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to maintain sleek profit margins. This strategic approach not only aligns with the prevailing market conditions but also enables us to meet the expectations of our valued employees. Our dedication extends to investing in various initiatives such as Certification Reimbursements, Long-term Service Awards, Tech Talks, and more, contributing to the engagement, growth, and development of our workforce. Through these efforts, we aim to foster an environment that not only retains talent but also promotes a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Furthermore, our commitment extends to providing the best possible experience for our partners. Our ongoing efforts encompass a range of programs like 'Coffee with HR' sessions, Monthly Newsletters, QubeHealth subscriptions, and resources such as a Dedicated Training Portal (Moodle), Mentorship programs, and more. These initiatives are aimed at enhancing collaboration, productivity, and overall satisfaction. If you have any other concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

We thank you for taking out time and writing a review for us. We really appreciate it and are glad you are having a wonderful time with us, here at TFT! We would like to inform you that due to the pandemic we have shifted to remote working permanently. However, like you said, it is of paramount importance for freshers to experience the office culture and to interact with their seniors and colleagues. Hence, this year we invited our campus hires/freshers to the office for a 2-day long onboarding and induction ceremony.

We thank you for taking out time and writing a review for us. We really appreciate it. In cases of underperformance, our approach prioritizes coaching and implementing Performance Improvement Plans to facilitate growth. Regrettably, despite our efforts and multiple interventions, when a partner’s performance does not exhibit improvement, we have to make hard decisions. We provide multiple avenues for our partners to explore different domains and excel in their preferred roles, even after receiving less-than-optimal feedback from previous projects. We only consider parting ways with partners as a last resort, after exhausting all avenues for improvement and recognizing a lack of commitment to growth and ownership.

We thank you for taking out time and writing a review for us. We really appreciate it. As we spent considerable time and effort in hiring and training the freshers and experienced partners during the last year, we feel it is only fitting that they showcase what they have learned during the last one-and-a-half years, through assessments and evaluation interviews. Even upon failing to clear said assessments, we allow our partners ample time to prepare for a 2nd round of evaluation, or by contributing to their area of work by putting them in Performance Improvement Plans. All in all, we provide ample opportunities to our partners to shine and prove their mettle, and only ask them to look out for other opportunities which will be best suited to them in the current situation, as a last resort (Even then, we keep in touch with them and help them land other opportunities).

We thank you for taking out time and writing a review for us. We really appreciate it and are glad you had a wonderful time with us, here at TFT! Our leave policy is framed in accordance with the provisions of “The Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1958” wherein we provide 29 leaves to our partners in addition to 8 Public holidays. Additionally, we operate on a 5-day work week model, which allows our partners to have adequate time to relax and have a good work life balance. It is also to be noted that we constantly benchmark our leave policy against our competitors and other service based companies in various industries, and continue to find our policy much beneficial. Additionally, we offer other leave-related benefits such as accumulation (up to 30) and encashment of earned leaves, all time approval on applied leaves (in most cases, leaves are approved, no questions asked), and conversion of casual and sick leaves to earned leaves (to incentivize partners who take less leaves). However, if you do have any suggestions w.r.t to our leave policy, we would love to hear about it. Please write to us at hr@tftus.com with your suggestions!

Thank you so much for taking out time and sharing your feedback. It is unfortunate to understand that you were left with bad taste. Please be ensured that we never had this intent and we always strive to provide an excellent experience to our employees. We would now try to address your stated concerns and hope you will understand these. 1) We have a very well-defined, live, and ever-evolving policy that is fairly balanced and reasonable towards Employees' needs and Organization's needs for uniformity and fairness. We ensure that these policies are explained at the time of making an offer, to new joiners at the time of Induction, and to regular employees using frequent HR Talks. 2) Its part of the employee's signed offer letter as well as Exit policy that if an employee requests early relieving then the shortfall in the notice period is adjusted against an employee's earned leaves. This, we believe, is also an Industry-wide practice. We also proactively reduced the three months notice period to two months. We agree that there was no proactive discussion at the time of separation. Henceforth, we shall be communicating in writing to each separated employee before the employee's last day of work. 3) Covid was a new kind of situation and we saw a fall in business. We resorted to salary cuts and furloughs. However, these were, compensated to employees later on within one year. We wish you will take this explanation in a positive manner and continue to have a strong relationship with us. All the best for your future endeavors.
