What we believe

We are not the typical company – we never want to be.
We are collegial, we are informal, we don’t believe in designations or hierarchies, we laugh
a lot & yet we are intense and passionate to the core. Here are a few elements of the
FocusU Life —

AFC

We are 100% remote and we would be lying if we say we don't miss meeting each other in person. AFC (All Faces Call) is the weekly catch-up time for all our teams across the geographies to let their hair down and discuss matters - some important and some fun 🙂

Recognition

We take great joy in celebrating special days such as birthdays, work anniversaries of our people and their folks as well. We also take equal joy if not more to recognise the smallest of efforts and the biggest of wins. Always looking for excuses to celebrate and be together 🙂

Feed Forward

An obsession for Feedback on everything we do – we call it Feed Forward though! We do it after every workshop, we do it for everyone every year ….. and we don’t hold back, if we think it is needed in between too! Ouch!

Free Knowledge

We are big believers that books, audio books and online courses are the cheapest & easiest way for people and the organization to grow. So, anyone wanting to buy ANY book to learn can just go ahead without any prior approvals. All we ask is – do share the knowledge!

Hygge

We are big believers in the Danish “Hygge.” For us it is about being with people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe and shielded to let our guard down. It is about enjoying a cup of tea in silence with friends, while it rains outside.

Travel

A large part of life in FocusU is about travel. We believe that travel is the best teacher. Our work takes us to all parts and corners of the country (and sometimes outside too) where workshops are done. Truly as it is said, “All those who wander are not lost.”

FFL

It's 7am in the morning – and already one FocusU Whatsapp channel is buzzing. Someone does yoga, someone else has gone for a run, the more motivated folks are already in gyms! The FocusU Fitness League is our own way to motivate one another towards better health and fitness – the fun way.

Wellness & Mental Health

Gone are the days when mental wellness wasn't considered important. It is as normal to feel out of mental balance as it is to contract a physical ailment. We recognize that we may want to get professional help, by way of a psychologist or psychiatrist to help us get back in good shape. At FocusU we have policies that help our people connect with therapists to seek help and get reimbursed for it too

Learn & Earn

Every single person is encouraged to do his/her MBA – not to get a fancy degree – but because we believe it opens up one’s thinking about the world. That’s not all – you get a hefty bonus for doing that too! Yes, you can earn while you learn!

Oops & Ouch

We love the way how Richard Bach, one of our favourite authors, frames this: "Learning is – not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.” The Oops and Ouch initiative is to share moments that did not quite go to plan, but taught us a lot.

Our Culture
