LIFE AT FRESHDESK
We strive to create a happy "work"
environment where:
- the work that you do makes you really
happy
- you are genuinely happy to come in to
work everyday
WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION
Work-Life Balance vs. Work-Life Integration
Don’t force a 40 hour work week on
employees
STYLE OF MANAGEMENT
Empowerment vs. Control
For e.g. Customer Policy - Do what is right
for the customer
Being a Manager vs. Being a Coach
Our responsibility as employers
Learning by doing vs. Classroom
learning
Constricting roles vs. a work buffet
Fancy degrees vs. experiential learning
LEARNING
PEOPLE
Build honest relationships with your team
Don’t be a jerk. Even if you are brilliant,
don’t be a brilliant jerk!
GROWTH
Focus on Real Growth (vs artificial
growth in fancy designation
changes)
We don’t care about Titles or
Bands.
PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS
Review achievements - we don’t want our
managers to think they are judges handing
out rewards/punishments
Give immediate feedback
We don’t believe that our employees are
competing with each other - No rankings
We don’t try to fit our people into Bell-
curves (or any other curve or square :)! )
