While growth is always our company’s goal, we wanted to ensure that we grow our ranks The Persistent Way. With the workforce doubling and most working remotely for a good part of the year, we needed to ensure that people felt invested in our company’s goals and a sense of connection to our culture, and had a clear understanding about The Persistent Way and what it means for them.

world-renowned author and transformation expert Martin Lindstrom and his team to develop our point of view on how our culture is a differentiator. Martin and his colleagues were given free access to our clients, partners and employees globally. Based on a pre-determined sampling criterion, they interviewed 30 of our clients/partners and 130 of our employees worldwide. Most of these meetings were on-site and in-person, providing a wealth of insights and a great starting point. Being a globally diverse organization, we involved people from all geographies, with large-scale interactive workshops in the US, Europe and India. These workshops created tremendous energy where people openly debated and brainstormed on what steps must be taken to guarantee that culture continues to be one of the company’s core strengths. From this comprehensive effort, we designed three broad themes to encourage employee connections to our culture: Onboarding as a differentiator, diversity as a team strength, and universal behaviors to foster The Persistent Way. We are excited as we have embarked on specific projects related to each of these themes that we are bringing to our global workforce.

Our innovative technology point of view and leadership, coupled with our people’s strong convictions to execute, has produced rich dividends over the years.

With the workforce doubling and most working remotely for a good part of the year, we needed to ensure that people felt invested in our Company’s goals and a sense of connection to our culture, and had a clear understanding about The Persistent Way and what it means for them.
Just as Persistent excels by partnering with industry and technology leaders to co-develop solutions, we took a similar approach when dealing with people-and culture-related issues. We partnered with
