Why SAP NS2 Is a Next Gen Workplace
At NS2, every employee has a say in the company’s future. They call it NS2gether—a culture initiative which invites everyone, from all levels of the organization, to speak up and share ideas through focus groups, anonymous surveys, open dialogue, a 24/7 virtual idea box, and a series of unfiltered “ask-me-anything” conversations with the CEO. This constant feedback loop allows NS2 to understand the motivations and concerns of its employees so it can offer experiences and perks that enrich their lives. NS2’s virtual speaker series, for example, is spearheaded by its employee-led resource groups which bring in high-profile thought leaders to explore top-of-mind issues—like racial justice, equity and inclusion, and today’s multi-generational workforce. As an SAP subsidiary, NS2 employees enjoy all the benefits of its parent company in a midsized package perfectly suited for the next generation seeking to drive change in the workplace and the world.
