Thanking
Brickwork believes in creating a culture of gratitude, which can be witnessed in the numerous ways that employees and customers are thanked at every opportunity. It could be thanking our tenure employees for their loyalty, sharing an employee’s customer testimonial with entire organisation, by giving stuffed animals to colleagues who display values. It is often the small acts that deserve gratitude and encouragement and we ask our managers to constantly watch out for those silent workers who achieve big things by their small acts.
Caring
Brickwork India has been an early adopter of corporate social responsibility and has 2 platforms for giving back to society:
Brickwork Foundation was set up in 2009. The vision is to build a strong nation by empowering the underprivileged youth, through quality education & employment and committing to environmental sustainability for the future. Our CEO Sangeeta Kulkarni has personally driven all the initiatives and programs She is very passionate about serving the underprivileged in a systematic manner and believes that all activities of the Foundation should contribute to Nation-building.
Brickwork Cares: This is a volunteering platform for our employees to do community service and get involved in humanitarian and nation-building activities. One of our founder philosophies is “to be generous like the Cow”. We could see the true generosity and goodness in our employees when they joyfully engaged in activities like going house to house to collect used items, segregating and packing used clothing, playing games with orphans and senior citizens, serving food to those less fortunate, giving their valuable time to train students, donating money and articles for flood & earthquake victims and many more…
Continuous Improvement
Brickwork is a strong believer of continuous improvement and re-invents itself every year. Whether is investing in latest technologies, improving process and procedures or the service offered. There is always change in the year. And we expect our employees to be agile, adapt and welcome all the changes in their stride.
