#167: Amrit Jaidka Arora on creating an exceptional employee experience, hiring for 'culture fit', and fostering equality, empowerment in the workplace
“Hire people who believe in your company values but yet make sure the hiring decision is prejudice-free.”
On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, our guest is Amrit Jaidka Arora, Head Human Resource at Digit Insurance - an online general insurance company that offers various non-life insurance products covering your car, bike, travel, home, and mobile.
With an experience of over 10 years in the HR space and having worked with giants like Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Co. Ltd. and Hindustan Times, Amrit covers a lot of interesting aspects in this episode.
Episode Highlights:
- Empowering employees: Meaning, benefits, and ways to do it.
- What’s more important: Performance vs Cultural fit?
- How to foster an environment of equality in the workplace?
1. Remote Onboarding: Challenges and Employee Experience
Virtual onboarding needs a lot of effort as it becomes hard to extend the company culture experience to the remote employees. Talking about the company's journey and telling them real stories of employees can be one way of introducing company culture to the new employees. Digit Insurance uses an AI chatbot that enables the new joinees to engage with their seniors and take feedback from their regular work.
2. Impact of organizational culture on performance of employees
Culture is how employees behave when seniors are not around. It helps companies navigate through a crisis, and therefore values of the company should be genuine. At Digit, they give Guardians of Digit awards to employees that exemplify the organization's values. According to Amrit, a winning culture allows employees to outperform their peers. Therefore, it can be the critical difference between performing and non-performing companies.
3. Hiring employees who are culturally fit for your organization
While it is essential to hire culturally fit employees, it is also essential to bring diverse experiences to enrich the work culture. Looking for culture fit improves retention, whereas diverse culture leads to creativity and innovation. Therefore, according to Amrit, recruiters have to balance performance and culture.
