SgurrEnergy Reinforces Its People-First Culture with 9-Day Diwali Break for All Employees
SgurrEnergy, a global leader in renewable energy engineering and consulting, has reaffirmed its people-first philosophy by continuing its long-standing tradition of offering a 9-day Diwali break to all employees across India. This unique policy, in place for over 15 years, underscores the company’s deep commitment to employee well-being, work-life balance, and cultural inclusivity.
With a workforce of over 200+ professionals across its offices in Pune and Vadodara with additional offices in Riyadh, Nairobi and Dallas, SgurrEnergy has built a people-centric culture that stands out in the fast-paced renewable energy industry. By enabling employees to pause, celebrate, and reconnect with their loved ones during one of India’s most significant festivals, the company continues to set a progressive benchmark for employee-centric policies within the renewable energy and engineering sectors.
“This initiative started over 15 years ago from a simple belief, that when people feel valued and supported, they bring their best selves to work. As a company that operates in a high-performance, project-driven environment, we’ve always believed that investing in our people is non-negotiable. The Diwali break is a reflection of our people-driven culture, it gives our teams the space to celebrate, recharge, and return with renewed energy and purpose. For us, personal well-being isn’t an afterthought; it’s integral to how we sustain excellence and
innovation year after year.” said Arif Aga, Director, SgurrEnergy.
Guided by its value-driven philosophy, SgurrEnergy has built a workplace culture that emphasizes long-term growth, trust, and engagement. The company has consistently maintained an employee retention rate of 90%, with an average employee tenure of over 5-6 years, well above industry norms. Regular engagement initiatives, flexible work policies, and a focus on personal milestones have nurtured a highly committed workforce that powers SgurrEnergy’s global operations and reinforces its position as an employer of choice in the renewable energy consulting space.
At a time when employees across industries report record levels of stress and burnout, SgurrEnergy’s emphasis on empathy over exhaustion demonstrates how organizations can foster balance, belonging, and sustainable excellence in the modern workplace.
