Case Study: (10)

1. Software Solutions Limited (SSL) is engaged in software development. There are about 450
employees in the company. Most of these employees have technical educational background.
The workplace of SSL remains open for 24 hours and all the employees are free to come to
workplace at their own convenient time. Similarly, they can leave the workplace at anytime and
can work up to any time including past mid- night. The idea is that an employee should work
only at a time when he feels that he is the most productive. There are no set policies regarding
various types of leave like sick leave, paid holidays, or any other leave. The company believes
that fixing a fixed number of days for sick leave is arbitrary because an employee may require
more number of days or not a single day as sick leave. While hours of work per day and leave
policies are quite flexible, employees frequently put in at least 50 hours a week. In addition,
regardless of number of hours worked, every employee is required to be accessible through e-
mail, cell phone, instant messaging, etc.
Every employee sets his weekly and monthly production target in consultation with
management. Every employee is given plenty of autonomy to achieve the target and his
performance is measured in terms of this target. Target achievers are encouraged to do still
better as the company believes that everyone has plenty of potential which is not utilized fully.
Target non-achieves are counseled to improve themselves. On non-improvement, services of
non-achievers are terminated. Normally, about six per cent employees used to be terminated
every year because of this reason. Over the period of time, this percentage has come down
significantly.
In the process of selecting employees, care is taken that only those candidates are selected who
believe in autonomy and have sufficient internal motivation to get the things done. During the
interview, the candidates are encouraged to ask any question about the company and its work
pattern. During the training which is a continuous process, the employees are also trained to
imbibe company’s work culture.
During the last three years, SSL has achieved an average growth rate of 33 per cent. This trend
is expected to continue in near future too.
