HR Overview

You won't find a bored Protean. You will only find friendly colleagues, approachable management, fascinating work, and the opportunity to make life better for more and more people every day. Sure we work hard, but we do our best to ensure that the work is fun. The pace is intense, but you feel in control of your future - you know that you are shaping your career the way you want it to be.

We value our practices and most importantly our employees. Our employees are our adrenalin; they are the center of our entire system. Our future will be determined by the steps taken by our people today. In recognition of this partnership, Proteans is committed to providing each member of the Proteans Family:

• Empowerment
• Challenges

Empowerment:
We empower our people to undertake risky assignments and greater responsibilities. We feel this is the only way to make one realize their full potential. Level-to-level promotions in Proteans are based solely on meritocracy, which means you are the one to build your career and future!

Challenges:
If you are among those “chosen few” who have the constant urge to perform better each day, then Proteans is THE place for you. At Proteans, there is always something new to constantly feed your mind. We provide fresh challenges each day not only because we understand that routine & mundane work is boring but because we feel that you can realize your complete potential this way.

Innovation:
Your learning will be a continuous process with counseling, mentoring, opportunities to hone existing skills, developing new skills, all leading to opportunities to move from one role to another. We have introduced innovation in our everyday work through the concept of ICP (Individual Contribution Plan). On an average, every Protean spends at least 20% of their time in research & innovation on wider but related subjects. ICP chalks out the area of work for a specific quarter and evaluates the same. Attractive bonuses are attached to ICP activity.

Appropriate growth plan:
We feel each individual is unique and therefore cannot fit into a common growth plan. We therefore have a customizable growth plan which is in line with your interests, aspirations, and capabilities. You will have a choice to grow in technology or management in the company, in tune with business needs and personal choice. We counsel our people regarding aspirations & potential time and again for we want each one to enjoy every day at Proteans!

Constant Encouragement:
As part of our HR practices, we have been taking various initiatives to be an enhancer in linking the people in Proteans to systems that build desired competencies within the organization. Chief among these initiatives is the freshly cast Performance Management System. We believe that the best way of shaping a strong Proteans for tomorrow is to invest in the best resource we have - our people - people who will take this organization into the future and hold the key in helping the company reach the lofty goals that it has set for itself. Such people we know can be found anywhere across this organization, in any function, in any role.

The recently launched Performance Management system provides a comprehensive representation of the individual potential and performance. We follow a bi-annual Performance Appraisal model since we feel it’s very important that there is a constant dialogue with our people to get an insight on self performance and organizational expectations. The constant fortnightly discussions, termed INFOCUS, also give you a chance to interact with your superiors regarding any work-related concerns.

Honest Appreciation:
We believe that any job can be fun if you have the opportunity to use your insight and intelligence to improve a task or process. We are in the business of continual process improvement and encourage our people who make a difference to their work.
