The Sopra India Individual Development Plan (IDP) combines global best practices with innovative thinking to ensure a holistic development of your career. IDP follows the following principles:

Identifying individual aspirations
At Sopra India, we take the induction process very seriously. Your work life here will start with in depth discussions with members of our HR department team. We believe a successful organization is an aggregation of dreams – the dreams of each individual.

Compatibility of organizational and individual goals
The Sopra Group motto is ‘The Right Way’, embodying a philosophy of practical, well thought out solutions. Thus we are practical in our approach to individual aspirations, and care is taken to ensure that each individual’s career path blends seamlessly into the objectives of the company.

To ensure your active participation in this, Sopra India will give you at all times a clear picture of the current goals of the organization, market place dynamics, and basic corporate strategy.

Width of exposure
At Sopra India, you will receive an unmatched width of exposure, both geographically and professionally.

There are a wide range of international onsite opportunities at any point in time, which will ensure enriching international exposure. As one of Europe’s largest software companies, the Sopra Group and its associates have a wide variety of operations across the European Union, the United States, and Asia.

Sopra India also gives you the option of broad basing your skills across disciplines – programming, operations, HR, sales and project management. This both broadens your future career options and prepares you for future management roles. If you wish, our HR Team will help you create your Personal Career Menu, combining different levels of exposure to these different disciplines.

Transparent progress evaluation
Sopra Group evaluation techniques are tried and tested, having undergone rigorous application across more than 10,000 software professionals worldwide. These techniques are seamlessly integrated with your Integrated Career Plan. We cover 2 broad areas:

• Skill Set Evaluation
• Half-yearly Performance Evaluation

We have an Open Appraisal System, and a scientific approach, focused on performance improvement and staff career development.

The independence to foster initiative
We encourage an open and easy working environment, and believe that our employees are self-motivated, mature adults, who do not require constant ‘pushing’.

You are encouraged to be independent, and issues such as leave calendars are left to be resolved between you and your supervisor, as opposed to a regimented approach.

To ensure the necessary guidance, without stifling individual initiative, we believe in Personal Mentoring as a philosophy. Your seniors have been through most things you will experience, and are always there to guide you, both formally and informally.
