Indeed, with most of the management team having had experience with PeopleSoft, the firm embraces providing a highly satisfied workforce.
An annual employee program designed to assess employee engagement and satisfaction is one part of it. But weekly meetings with managers, and project recaps are also part of the MIPRO picture, a strategy designed to make sure potential issues are addressed immediately, as opposed to postponing pertinent discussions until an arbitrary performance appraisal date.
