Monica Mardare, Luxoft: When it comes to growing the career of our people, we’re with them every step of the way

A personalized approach to help every employee feel that they are truly crafting a future is one of the ways a company can keep the talent. A career development through a personalized individual development plan is what many people want from their employers, as Monica Mardare, HR Director at Luxoft Professional Romania, told Business Review in a short interview about how a company can stand as top employer over the years. 

How does your company stand out as an employer to watch in 2024 and in the long run?

We believe what sets Luxoft apart as an employer to watch is our commitment to employee growth and stability. We understand that every person has their own dreams and goals, and we’re here to help them on that journey. Through LuxTalent, one of our internal hubs, each team member can shape their own career path. We’ve designed this personalized approach to help everyone feel that they’re truly crafting their future, not just filling a role. For instance, our career development process empowers individuals to create personalized Individual Development Plans and by collaborating closely with managers, employees can access resources and support to achieve their career goals.

We also designed the Career Development Framework, a map that helps everyone find their way, equipped with all the resources they need — from in-house training to courses on platforms like Udemy Business. When it comes to growing the career of our people, we’re with them every step of the way. And when someone is interested in trying a new path within Luxoft, our Internal Mobility program helps them explore different roles smoothly and confidently.

We all learned in recent years that change is part of any business, and we do our best to be prepared for it. Whether it’s a project shift or downsizing, our Career Hub team is ready to step in. They make sure everyone lands on their feet by finding roles that match their skills, ensuring that no one feels lost or left behind.

How does your company manage to maintain its status as a remarkable employer for new generations of employees and for your existing employees?
