Our People
Our people are our business and we have developed an extremely talented and dedicated team whose depth and range of experience managing global IT services is simply Tier-1. In India where nearly 63% of IT professionals have less than five years of work experience, our average Arrkitect has worked in software services for over six years.
Arrkitect Power
We call ourselves Arrkitects. Not just because many of us have a role in architecting technology and business solutions for our Customers, but also because everyone at Arrk Group is empowered to shape our growing business. Many of us have come from corporate IT service organisations where we felt held back from achieving our true potential. We share a passion for technology and at Arrk great opportunities demand that we set stretching goals for ourselves and constantly seek new challenges.
Arrkitect Power Multiplied
We believe that superior teamwork is the key to superior results and that the whole is often greater than the sum of its parts. We, therefore, adopt an inclusive, team-based approach to all our activities. This co-operative approach extends beyond our organisation to our Customers and our other stakeholders. We support and encourage each other through good times and bad and work together to achieve our individual and collective aspirations.
Uncompromising Integrity
A fundamental principle of all of our dealings with each other, our Customers and our other stakeholders is open, honest and transparent communication. We strive to achieve the very highest levels of personal integrity and reward those who do the ‘right thing’. A pervasive sense of fairness and a commitment to achieving win-win outcomes governs our behaviour.
Our Values in practice
At Arrk Group we describe ourselves as a ‘values driven business’. Unlike some organisations our success is measured by the delivery of our values. These values drive and govern Arrk Group’s philosophy behind its operations.
- Focus on customer delight
- Personal and professional integrity
- Corporate and social responsibility
- Fulfilment on our potential
- Competing to win
- Global teamwork
- Creativity and Innovation
Corporate Social Responsibility
Our operations do not exist in a vacuum, therefore at Arrk Group we encourage and set high standards of corporate social responsibility. The communities to which we belong, both as individuals and as an organisation, support us in many ways.
This support confers on us a duty to behave as a ‘responsible citizen’ and as part of that an obligation to play an active role in developing and enhancing the lives of those around us. In recognition of this, Arrk Group has pledged to donate a percentage of all profits to supporting sustainable development and poverty reduction projects in the localities in which we operate. We are also committed to exploring, developing and promoting the concept of ‘Fair Trade’ as it applies to our industry and markets.
In order to deliver on this pledge, we have established the Arrk Foundation to direct the donation of funds for charitable purposes in accordance with the Foundation’s constitution and objectives. We also believe that our people should lead the Arrk Foundation and therefore it is set up as a membership organisation which any employee of Arrk can join. An Executive Committee is elected each year, and anyone who is a member of the Foundation can stand. So the Arrk Foundation is very much employee-led and provides a great opportunity for all Arrkitects to get actively involved in decision-making and make a real difference to the communities in which we live.
