Nurturing a high performance work culture
Polaris is a people-oriented enterprise. It nurtures a high performance work culture that is reflected in the leadership qualities and the spirit ownership of its employees. These traits are encouraged through the organization’s exclusive Konark community and Lakshya visioning exercise.
The Konark programme was instituted in 1995 to recognise and unleash the potential of individuals and teams to drive a high performance work culture. Konarks are change agents who embody the Polaris culture and anchor critical enterprise initiatives. Collaborative learning design begins here!
Lakshya is a free flowing open space platform to explore the organization’s directions for the next 5 years without loading it with current constraints. As much as the human mind has a subconscious element, organiaztions also have a subconscience. Like human beings take a lot of complex decisions subconsciously without loads of systems and processes, organizations can also be aligned better by subconscious thinking. Lakshya is a process that builds that subconscious thinking. Lakshya uncovers ‘Don’t know what I don’t know’ zones. The bottom-up approach helps in spotting new opportunities and mines better.
In articulating what ‘living the Polaris brand’ is, the core building blocks are Knowledge, Leadership, and Values. To help realize individual and enterprise potential, each of these facets have been deconstructed into essential attitudes and behavior patterns.
Polaris believes that value creation grows as customer relationships mature with time. Relationship, expertise, technology, Intellectual Property and Global Reach are the routes that enable the company to come closer to its customers worldwide.
This makes Polaris the chosen partner for 9 of the top 10 global banks and 7 of the top 10 global insurance companies.
