We aim to imbibe an entrepreneurial culture, giving wings to individual aspirations," said Prasad Rajappan, Managing Director, ZingHR. He added: “I have been an employee for some of the years in my career, and I can very much relate to what our employees' expectations and needs are. I believe that if employees have a sense of ownership, they can significantly contribute to our long-term vision of providing best-in-class HRMS software focussed on OutcomationTM.” These initiatives come when several companies are laying off employees or implementing a pay cut amid uncertainty induced by the recent surge in coronavirus cases across the country.
