Rewards

Rewards and recognition programs are linked to performance and constitute a healthy mix of monetary and non - monetary benefits.

Some programs that your performance will entail you to:

1. Pat on the back!
   "Pat on the back", focuses on instant recognition of contribution beyond the call of duty. A special mention from a customer (internal or external), contribution to a special initiative (like fun club) are only few of the instances that deserve a pat on the back. Reward points collected with each POB can be accumulated and encashed for goodies available on the e mall. So, if you are waiting to buy the Discman or a cool sling bag, you know how to grab that!
   
   
2. Basket of allowances - Tax friendly salary structure
   Nipuna's competitive salary structure constitutes a special component in which you choose the kind of benefits that you wish to entail - Medical, Leave Travel concession, subscription to books and periodicals…Nipuna compensates you the way you want it! This also helps reduce the tax burden to ensure you take home a considerable amount per month.
   
   
3. Star Retention bonus
   Superior performance is the key to the success of any organization. Nipuna makes a special endeavour to retain its star performers and to motivate others by providing a retention bonus to star performers across functions. This could manifest itself in monetary and non-monetary forms.
   
   
4. Incentives
   A regular phenomenon in this industry, Nipuna's endeavour is to quantify the parameters for incentives and ensure regular disbursal of the same.
   
   
5. Company sponsored courses or certifications
   Nipuna proposes to sponsor higher education for its associates matching their career aspirations. Certifications viz.
