Session: Thriving During Covid With an Engaging and Strong Culture
Cognizant Softvision, a 20-year-old global software product engineering firm, enjoys a vibrant culture across its 40 global studios. In March, the entire organization and thousands of employees went to a remote environment in less than 48 hours to adhere to 'Shelter in Place' rules associated with the global pandemic. Cognizant Softvision, like many organizations, was faced with a daunting challenge: How do we maintain our unique collaborative and team-oriented culture when everyone is operating in a distributed environment from home? The marketing team, led by Fausta Ballesteros, sprang into action with a campaign and series of online events and activities. This session will talk about the importance of culture in a modern and often remote organization, and present realistic best practices that companies and executives can put into action to build and maintain culture.
