At RealPage, engagement with an employee starts even before they join. Take RealConnect, an initiative to ease a candidate into the organisation.
“During the selection process, a candidate’s focus is on putting their best foot forward and they miss out on asking key questions about the organisation,” says Rekha Narendra, vice president and HR head-India. “Once the offer is in hand, we give them ample opportunities to clarify any queries about the company’s programmes and policies. It’s a great way to start bonding with the new hire.”
RealPage provides a technology platform that enables real estate owners and managers to change how people experience and use rental space. Clients use the platform to gain transparency into asset performance, leverage data insights and monetise space to create incremental yields.
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Richardson, Texas, US, RealPage serves over 19 million units worldwide from offices in North America, Europe, and Asia. The company has been in India for 13 years and is based in Hyderabad with 1,600 employees working from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The growth, success and being listed as one of India’s best employers second time in a row, says Sandeep Sharma, senior vice president and managing director, can be attributed to the constant effort to instill trust in all stakeholders in the US and in India. Sharma and Narendra joined the organisation just one year apart—in 2018 and 2019, respectively—and that’s where the transformation journey began, he says.
