Recognition.. respect.. opportunity.. drive.. resilience..
challenge..responsibility.. performance.. ownership.. belonging.. integrity.. values.. transparency.. communication.. collaboration..

Warmth.. fun.. support.. flexibility..dynamism.. diversity..
participation..

These are some of the key ingredients around which we are evolving our organisation culture.

With a rapid intake of large numbers of people from diverse backgrounds, crystallizing and creating the desired culture is not an event, but an on-going journey, which involves time, conscious effort, participation and continuous course correction.

Some of the tools and initiatives we use in our culture building efforts:

 A 'buddy' programme and structured induction to ease the way for a person joining the organisation.

The Fortis Healthcare Ambassador programme, which counters the criminal "I don't know" factor and promotes sharing of knowledge to achieve a common goal.

Regular communication meetings and interactions with senior management, Intranet, Fortis Healthcare newsletter and bulletins from the Chairman, JMD and CEO.

Social interaction - dinners, picnics and sports events. Employee led work place management programmes.

"We are what we repeatedly do, excellence, then is not an act, but a habit" - Aristotle.

Our culture building mantra, therefore, is to "Walk the Talk" - everyday, in every way, in whatever we do.
