Saba also uses its own people management solutions across the company, which are designed to help continuously align goals with strategy, develop people, improve collaboration and knowledge-sharing, and gain increased visibility into organizational performance.

 

“Saba’s mission is guided by a set of people-centered values, and this award validates our commitment to our most important asset—our employees,” said Bobby Yazdani, chairman and CEO for Saba. “Our operations in India have played a key role since the inception of our company, and by creating an optimal work environment we can continue to attract and retain the top talent that is vital to our success.”
