Work Environment At Archi – Interview With The Head Of Human Resources
#Interview
The workplace environment plays a crucial role in the well-being of the employees. Employee satisfaction and productivity appear to be defining factors for successful companies. Well-equipped office, team building, taking care of the employees, and encouraging them to socialize – This is a short list of things that motivate employees to do their best. It is a human resource department of the company that is directly responsible for creating a comfortable workplace environment. Archi, a development company in Georgia, spares no effort to build the best work environment. Ana Qurasbediani, Chief HR Officer, makes sure to enhance the employees' mood and help them be on good terms with one another.
Does Archi comply with The Labour Code of Georgia?
I am proud to say that Archi fully complies with the labor code of Georgia. Archi employees sign contracts written in accordance with the labor code and consequently, they are entitled to all social benefits determined by the law. The employees at Archi have the right to enjoy a paid leave of absence of 24 working days and 3 days off annually. They can request a leave of absence after having worked for 11 months. Focusing on the happiness of our employees, we usually grant them a paid leave of 5 working days as well as several days off even before completing 11 months.
Apart from following the labor laws, the company makes sure to provide proper health insurance for the staff. Archi employees can enjoy health insurance after completing a probationary period. However, service and project managers as well as construction staff, who are spending 70% of their working days on construction sites, are free from the probationary period. They receive a minimum health care package on the very first day of their work.
It is also worth mentioning that the company has its own internal regulations to regulate employer-employee relations.
What benefits are available for Archi employees?
To begin with, the company provides job-relevant courses to help staff members improve their professional knowledge. Besides, Archi makes sure to hold training sessions, especially for the service department. The employees are free to attend their preferred courses and training sessions.
Apart from professional development, we try to encourage our employees to follow a healthy lifestyle. Archi employees can enjoy a FitPass that allows them to receive sports and health services at discounted prices. Additionally, Archi has built a partnership with the Snap Fitness Center and some hotels to help our staff relax and boost their energy.
What’s more, the company offers an Archi Card designed exclusively for the Archi residents and employees. Using Archi Card, Archi family members can receive discounts on household appliances, food, education courses, sports and health services, etc.
How does Archi facilitate the employee socialization process?
Located in different areas, Archi owns two offices with dozens of departments. That’s why the company organizes special events to help the employees know one another. For example, we have Happy Archi Hour every month, a surprise sweet table for our staff to bring them together in one space.
Besides, Archi has a well-equipped office decorated with indoor plants. Plants are known that they positively affect our physical and psychological well-being. As a result, our employees are happier and more productive there.
Moreover, we take our employees on outings, organize hiking tours, and excursions to their favored destinations.
And, finally, why should a job seeker choose Archi?
I believe that the positive environment at Archi is created by the hard work of its energetic, experienced, and professional employees. New staff members should expect a friendly environment and qualified co-workers there. Apart from numerous benefits, they will have the opportunity to improve their quality of life as well as their professional education. Archi team means not only working together but respecting, trusting, and enjoying one another’s company. Every new day at Archi starts with happiness and productivity.
