In this special episode of our series "In Conversation with Partha Neog," Partha Neog, Founder and CEO of Vantage Circle, hosts an engaging discussion with Idit Aronsohn, Head of Youth in Employment Excellence at Amdocs.
Partha and Idit discuss the importance of employee engagement through Amdocs' holistic approach, emphasizing the connection between engagement, well-being, and organizational success. Idit highlights Amdocs' four key pillars of employee experience—impact, career growth, flexibility, and meaningful connections—as essential elements of engagement.
They explore how flexibility, hybrid work models, and employee well-being initiatives have evolved post-pandemic, reinforcing the need for purpose-driven work and a sense of belonging. Idit also shares insights on recognition vs. rewards, emphasizing that recognition should be a core part of company culture rather than just a transactional process.
