Infor’s Not-So-Secret Formula for Being a Leader in Tech

Ready to build a career where you and your coworkers get to make meaningful changes to the way companies everywhere do business? Infor’s 15,000-plus-person team works with companies from Lockheed Martin to The Cheesecake Factory and many, many others to help them innovate and create better, more efficient businesses (and happier employees and customers). In fact, the work of their employees touches just about any industry you can name.

Here are just a few things Infor does to set its team up for success.

1. Infor Prioritizes Training Future Leaders
   

Succeeding in the world of technology is harder than ever. To help its talented employees get ahead and to increase diversity in its ranks, Infor created the Education Alliance Program. Participants get a head start on leadership thanks to specialized software packages, training materials and customized learning and mentoring sessions. In the process, they learn the ins and outs of industry-specific business tools and get the support they need for a fulfilling, successful, long-lasting career.

2. Infor Is Dedicated to Inclusion

There’s been a lot of talk about inclusion in the tech sphere recently, but this isn’t a new priority at Infor. The company has spent years making sure that people from all backgrounds know that they’re integral to the team’s success. Here’s just one example: Infor created the Women’s Infor Network (WIN), which is dedicated to recruiting, mentoring and supporting women in the organization as they take on leadership roles and climb further up the ladder. Infor also makes a concerted effort to reach out to veterans to help them with their post-military careers and provide them with a supportive environment and work opportunities.

3. Infor Has Great Benefits
   

Infor knows that becoming the world’s third-largest enterprise applications and services provider isn’t just about hard work, and they’ve prioritized creating an environment (and a vacation policy) that lets everyone strike a balance between work and play. Employees get to enjoy business casual workplaces, competitive salaries and ample time off to recharge.

4. Infor Sponsors Leading Teams and Programs
   
   

What do the Brooklyn Nets basketball team, Crusaders rugby team, Triumph motorcycles and the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 racing team have in common? All four are sponsored by Infor, which supports each organization and helps them find new and innovative ways to stay competitive. For example, Ferrari used Infor software tools to overhaul its supply-chain process and increase production by 40 percent. This kind of high-profile work drives Infor employees forward.

5. Infor Is Always Thinking Several Steps Ahead

Forward-thinking ideas are the name of the game at Infor. Two notable Infor initiatives that bring this approach to life are Dynamic Science Labs and Hook & Loop. Dynamic Science Lab uses predictive analytics and machine learning to automate challenging datasets, forecast future trends and make data-backed recommendations for customers. Meanwhile, Hook & Loop, Infor’s in–house design agency, brings together everyone from designers and information architects to writers and filmmakers so they can build the future of innovative user experiences together.
