Five HR policies followed by 
foradian 
Foradians COO Vishwajith followed five successful policies and practices 
in managing the Hacker News Age employees 
 Flexible timings. 
 Non filtered internet available full-time. 
 Multiplayer game in the office after lunch. 
 Non-compromising Leadership 
 Saturdays as Innovative Day
Flexible timings:- 
Foradian offer flexible timings for the employees to reach and leave 
the office. Initially, they had also tried the working from home option. 
But it was a failure and it was better to bring advantages of home-atmosphere 
to the workplace. So the employees work from office but 
to make it a win-win situation, they are a little relaxed with the timings.
Non filtered internet available full-time 
:- 
 One has to define a thin-line between being stern and strict. They dont want 
their employees to feel like they are in a school classroom. They give their 
employees some lee-way and respect their personal space. They let o their 
employees access Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube and all other social 
networking websites during office time. As long as they can manage their 
time effectively and deliver, they dont intrude.
Multiplayer game in the office after lunch 
 Like Benjamin Franklin rightly said, Games lubricate the body and 
the mind. And that lubrication is much required for the employees 
of a startup to perform at their optimum levels. 
 employees spend 30 to 45 minutes playing multi-player games in 
their network everyday. Their present craze is the BZFlag which is 
open source and highly addictive. In fact, there are times when the 
directors of the company also join the employees. Such games play 
a very indirect yet highly significant role in building team-players. 
Employees gel along better and any formal ice is broken.
Non-compromising Leadership 
 Foradian CTO Arvind who leads the entire engineering team never uses 
social networking. He doesnt waste time browsing internet during office 
hours. He leads the company silently. So all employees respect his words 
and commands.
Saturdays as Innovative Day 
Office timing for Saturday is 10am to 4pm. If there is no emergency or 
urgent work, they spend the time in training and innovation. However, 
more often than not, this policy fails, as Foradian is a growing company 
and have lots of work for the Saturdays. But whenever possible, they 
make sure to make the Saturday more than just another day at work! 
 Also, they lack regular team trips, which will be implemented pretty 
soon. Their dream is to provide every engineer with a dual monitor 
Mac. Hoping to achieve it in next Financial Year. 
 They believe that you cant solve the employee problems 100% 
with innovations like these.. Remember what Colin Powell told The 
day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have 
stopped leading them.
