Arcos: Building a 2020 Competent Workforce of the Future

Separator
Irfan Saif ,CEOThe type of work culture companies nurture in office has an integral role to play in their business' success. In fact, it has its effect on nearly every aspect of the company, and that is why almost every business leader/founder wants his/her workplace to come-out as the best place to work. There have been dozens of research and studies that have clearly shown how having a positive work culture can help employees find the real value in their work and give it their best. Having happy employees is extremely important for the survival and performance of any organization. Happier employees work harder, work well together in teams, and are generally more productive. This concept is something that Gurgaon-based Arcos' team constantly live, breathe and eat. "I firmly believe that an ideal work environment is relative. I have watched people lose their health and family life over their work commitments, and that's something I don't vouch for. I want my people to be able to achieve their targets and also attend all important milestones with their children and family, which for me is true success," explicates Capt. Irfan Saif, CEO, Arcos, and a leader in Manpower Outsourcing solutions.

The team at Arcos works together as a family. The team is constantly encouraged to challenge themselves and try new and faster way of doing tasks. "We have had people who came-in as interns and now are heading departments. I still remember one of the first interviews that I did was out of my car, as we were still looking for an office space. She started-off as a receptionist and now she is our go-to person for complete on-boarding and off-boarding process pan-India," he shares. The company values employees' personal commitments and follows a strict policy to never say `No for Holiday'.

Arcos is backed by a four-member management team, where Capt. Irfan Saif leads the company, followed by Karambir Chahal with whom he shares a decade old association. "Karambir has been the backbone for this company. He plays a huge part in mentoring my children who are at a very delicate stage of their career," says Capt. Irfan. His daughter Zoya and his son are the other two integral parts of the company. "Arcos is a very special journey. This is something that I have built with one of my most trusted confidante and my children by my side. What makes it so special is their relentless participation towards the future
growth of the company. They not only look at the things differently and with a more modern approach, but are also very professional when it comes to finding a solution for the clients. With my 30 years of experience and their bespoke outlook, we make a very successful team," smiles Capt. Irfan.
