Recently, Great Place to Work® Sri Lanka released its latest list of Best Workplaces for Millennials in Sri Lanka, and among the names included is Gapstars, a B2B service provider helping Dutch software companies grow rapidly with agile offshore development teams in Sri Lanka.
“Gapstars’ team of IT professionals now consists of 120+ individuals, with 90% of its workforce comprising millennials. The company has always prioritised maintaining a healthy corporate culture and is now described by its employees as an inclusive workplace that celebrates their differences and provides growth opportunities to all,” the company said in a media release.
Gapstars’ leadership identified that creating a corporate culture that meets employees’ needs extends beyond attracting only millennials, as innovative employers that are committed to their employees ensure an inclusive workplace culture for everyone.
The company first facilitated numerous visits for its Sri Lankan team members to its client headquarters in Amsterdam. Through its specialised training programme called Moonshot, the company also helps map out a detailed personal roadmap on how employees can grow over the course of their careers, the release said.
“At Gapstars, we have an open-door policy. If you want to grow, the entire team is happy to help. While working on the job, you’ll find yourself picking up new skills that you might previously have considered to be out of your wheelhouse. So it’s a constant cycle of learning and growth,” said Head of Operations at Gapstars, Meditha Karunatillaka.
During the pandemic, the company chose not to implement salary cuts and paid its employees on time, while instituting a Work from Home policy.
CEO of Gapstars, Hugo Hemmen said, “Whether it is great technical expertise, timely delivery, or simply the assurance that comes from a trusted developer relationship, in the end, it’s our people who make the difference. We have created an environment for talented people with a culture where people can bring their whole selves to work and flourish.”
