We started the centre three years back, and I still feel the same energy and passion at work as I felt on the first day,” says Manish Choudhary, Vice President and MD, Pitney Bowes Software India.

At Pitney Bowes, timings are not the reflection of the productivity of its employees. Pitney Bowes values the familial and societal relationships of its employees, and thus follows flexibility in working hours. Apart from flexible work-hours, Pitney Bowes offers concierge desk services, doctor-on-call facility, paternity leaves, work from home, workshops on balancing ‘multiple roles’ et al, to its employees to help them maintain their work-life balance. During summer vacations, employees are not only allowed to work from home once a week so that they can spend time with their kids, but the company also allows employees to get their kids to office for a visit.
Says Choudhary, “We allow our employees to choose the training programs they feel will help in their career and personal development. We have a culture of identifying young performers who are given responsibilities ahead of their careers.” Given that the company rides on cutting edge technological products, Pitney Bowes allows its employees to devote a specified number of hours in a week to innovate on themes and meaningful technological products thereby helping them to take time-off their workload.
