    How would you characterize the culture of


    MindTree?
    People-Centric:
    In an industry where all rms are assumed to possess homogenous skills, MindTree knew that, in order to succeed, it had to dierentiate itself
    from its competitors. The company realized that culture and values were key elements that could be used as "Soft Dierentiators." Also, being a
    multicultural company, MindTree realized that it could not possibly manage all the dierent cultures eciently. Instead, it decided to develop a
    common set of values which could be shared by people from across dierent cultures. The company has always strived to become an
    'emotionally bonded organization.' In this regard, the culture of MindTree can be characterized as a people-centric culture.

    According to the MindTree senior management, "Every MindTree mind is driven by CLASS - Caring, Learning, Achieving, Sharing, and Social

    Responsibility." From this, it is evident that MindTree wanted to create a culture rich in innovation and creativity. MindTree's emphasis

    Transparency and rich, frequent communication were cornerstones of the culture. Mindtree
    incorporated participative decision-making by promoting openness across organizational levels.
    This resulted in the company's 95-95-95 principle, which stated that 95% of the people should have
    95% of the information 95% of the time.

    How has this culture been created and


    institutionalized?

    USToy

    At MindTree, the management's belief that 'values drive behaviour and behaviour drives results'
    was at the heart of all decision-making processes.

    Internalizing CLASS Values:

    Make it Possible

    Mindtree sought to internalize the CLASS values by integrating them into its recruitment,
    recognition, and reward systems. The process started right from hiring of a new employee,
    whereby the candidates were assessed on whether they would be a good t in the organization's
    culture. New employees then participated in extensive sessions with the senior management,
    which emphasized the importance of these values in the company's culture. The process continued
    with performance appraisals, where each value had a clear metric and 40% weight was assigned to
    performance against these values. The success of MindTree's endeavours to internalize the CLASS
    values can be seen from the fact that 90% of the senior leaders voluntarily asked for 360o feedback on how well they were complying with the
    company values.
    Other initiatives like rechristening the HR dept. as the 'people function' and giving stock options to its employees, have also helped MindTree in
    building and promoting its culture among its employees.

    Socialization Tactics:
    MindTree has also employed the use of several socialization tactics to foster and institutionalize its culture among its employees. When a new
    employee joins MindTree, she is given explicit information about the sequence in which she will perform new activities or occupy new roles
    (Sequential Role Orientation). As employees gain experience, they are allowed to pursue their interests by joining or initiating a community
    (Random Role Orientation).
    Senior employees at MindTree actively engage with new hires and act as role models (Serial Tactics). This not only helps MindTree imbibe its core
    values in the new employees, but also promotes the participative culture within the organization.

    Building Knowledge Communities:


    Knowledge management was another activity that supported and contributed to MindTree's culture and values. MindTree adopted a holistic,
    encompassing approach to KM, as it believed that KM could play an integral role in helping people perform their jobs better and develop
    themselves, which again reected on its goal to be a High Achievement oriented and High Caring organization.
    To implement KM a work, MindTree encouraged its employees to self-organize and collaborate through communities of practice. MindTree also
    took a number of steps to build a supportive environment for cultivating KM. The development and contribution of the KM function has been
    discussed in detail later in this article.
