Through this, Model N continuously keeps touch points with its employees on their thoughts/suggestions/ideas. Its rewards & recognition mechanisms make it an ideal ground for high performance among employees. “If we deliver excellence at each stage, we will be able strengthen your satisfaction working here and grow our reputation as a best place to work,” says Laura. “While we do a lot of activities that range from everything an employee wants from the time they are hired, to when they leave, what differentiates us is the Employee Experience that we try to focus on. Even a small task is done with great passion and that makes a big difference,” she further adds.
In coming three-five years, Model N aims to become a fully SaaS-based company and simultaneously started pursuing a handful of initiatives that will chart its path for sustained growth & operational improvements.
