Simon Sinek, a renowned American author and a motivational speaker, once said – ‘When people are financially invested, they want a return; but when people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute’. The aforementioned quote may appear just as a sentence for many, but for Model N, it is not merely a sentence or quote; rather it’s a belief and key to achieving success. Not just that, people nowadays prefer a congenial workplace along with a good salary package, and to keep them aligned with the organizational vision and goals, it takes dedicated engagement programs infused with motivational operations in order to maneuver employees.

Model N is one such top-tier software organization that embraces a unique culture of amalgamating its people with innovation, creativity, technology and empathetic leadership to inspire its employee population and ignite transformation in the industry. Today, where most of the organizations focus mainly on the growth of their business, Model N stands apart by considering its employees in the first place.

Most recently, Model N has taken the Covid-19 outbreak very seriously, since the company’s top priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees and customers. Model N quickly moved to a remote work model, providing all employees resources and on-going support needed to do their jobs successfully from anywhere they are located. The company executives have embraced opportunities to engage with employees on a regular basis through Town Halls, All Hands Meetings and office hours to keep strong connections and communications with employees and ensure that employees worldwide have the tools and information necessary to stay productive and engaged during this unprecedented time.

Making a Difference
Talking about communities, Model N is deeply engaged in various CSR activities throughout the year.
