Lockdown brought smarTians face to face with the unknown. The way operations have continued for over 100 days is a testimony to precise planning, continuous monitoring, and exemplary hard work and dedication towards work and the associated livelihood. Video conferencing has helped. The water cooler talks have been replaced with virtual settings. There have been numerous talk sessions and video conferences for the last three months. The calls have been both formal settings to discuss work and informal off work conversations. This has been a great way of conversing with people and knowing how they are doing in these heightened state of anxiety due to pandemic & offering help and support and solace in any way possible. Some of the continued efforts by the different group which requires mention are given below :-
Ongoing training programs encourage creativity and forward-thinking. Virtual sessions on the changing needs of the healthcare ecosystem and deep discussions on the current & upcoming demands of the global market were the main highlights of the training. These training programs are well designed and allow smarTians to polish their skills to meet ever-changing IT demands by mapping tech solutions to real-world problems.
The smartData cultural league “Abhivyakti” was launched remotely – another “new” in this new normal. The auditions started in May and, even as first of its kind, there was a lot of creativity in this event. It fulfills our commitment to striking the perfect balance between work, life, and fitness. Another new aspect of this event is that the families of the employees have also been allowed to participate to enhance employee engagement and unity in diversity.

Celebrations and recognition are ingrained in our culture. It is incumbent upon us to encourage a project culture that incorporates an appropriate amount of recognition for individual and team accomplishments. Having an environment appreciating professionals for their team efforts and success are few important positive factors at an organisation.
smartData Nagpur, September 2019
An open lunch discussion with young leaders was conducted at our Nagpur branch where like-minded professionals connected to discuss over new business ideas, enhancements to current approach, software development model, agile outlook and latest technology updates to enhance and upgrade their knowledge, skills & for delivering quick quality services.
Establishing mutual respect & good working relationship always has a higher priority. A mixer was held at Mohali where client and his project team members joined in for a healthy discussion where opinions for every individual were admired. We welcome such conversations and having them done in an informal way makes it more engaging and interesting.
Success is one’s hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and passion of doing or learning to do. Team’s from our Nagpur branch were recognized and awarded with gifts by the client himself for their outstanding performances. Such appreciation not only boosts their morale but enhances their inner abilities too.
Community get-together’s are the best ways to overcome the minuscule challenges and celebrate individual differences. A retro themed get together of Basecamp and SLG members along with their families was organised where members interacted closely with each other, played games, quizzes and encouraged our ‘PauseForFun’ motto.
Our inter-branch collaboration between Nagpur, Dehradun and Mohali branch subsists knowledge sharing culture and interactivity. Such collaboration’s at both large and small scale has helped us to develop a sense of transparency in workflow, implementing new methodology & smoother communication leading to fine-tuned project deliveries.
Adding another year to one’s life prompts internal reflection. It’s a day when people often take a step back and evaluate the progress of their lives. Birthdays are one of life’s epiphany moments, along with other major milestones and we make sure this special day of every smarTian is celebrated with greater spirit within their team.
