Children make up only 30% of our population, and 100% of our future. And, at NICE, we strongly believe that we have a responsibility to support our local communities. That's why we partnered with the Door Step School Foundation in Pune to promote primary education, especially amongst the communities of migrant-labor families that move from one construction site to another, and are unable to send their children to regular schools. Together with a local NGO, we renovated a bus and converted it into a mobile classroom – literally bringing the joy of education to their doorstep! As part of this initiative, we recently invited over 15 Door Step students to our Pune office for an inspiring learning session. Our incredible NICErs got the kids super excited by teaching them some basic computer skills, as well as other various topics. All of this with the goal of helping these kids reach their full potential so that they may one day be eligible for admission to government schools for primary education. With the right support and education, they can reach for the stars!
Meet Tedd Mills! Tedd joined NICE as a Technical Account Manager in 2017, and was promoted to Senior Account Manager. After a few years, Tedd wanted to further advance his career. He wanted to try his hand at something totally new, so he looked towards the Marketing department! Today, Tedd is a Senior Product Marketing Manager with a focus on Competitive Intelligence. He said, “I was excited about this position because I made a career change but was still able to use my expertise, on how customers utilize the products and platform, to assist in the competitive realm”. Tedd is loving his new domain: “I learned that there is much more to the marketing world than I originally thought, and there is a constant flow of information to learn. I really enjoy that!" Keep it up, Tedd!
There’s so much more to our NICErs than meets the eye! Meet Anubhav Nandi from our GTC in Pune, India. By day he works as a Senior Specialist Client Services Project Manager for our Actimize Professional Services Team and, beyond this, he has been training both physically and mentally for over 2 years… In the last quarter, Anubhav has impressively completed three half Ironman titles. Yes – THREE! That’s a swim of 1.9km in rough ocean waters, a bicycle ride of a whopping 90km and then finally a 21.1km run to the finish line. TIMES THREE! Wow! Anubhav said, “Life is nothing without a passion for doing something extraordinary!” Congrats Anubhav!
Were you on the edge of your seat watching the FIFA World Cup Final?

Other ‘One Step Ahead’ winners enjoyed exhilarating experiences at Formula One events in Abu Dhabi and Monza, the NBA playoffs and US Open Finals in New York, the UEFA Cup in London and more! At NICE, we’re constantly raising the bar. For our Customers. And for our Employees.
Meet Rachit Bansal! Rachit’s NICE journey began back in 2018 in Singapore when he joined presales as a solution consultant. But, proactive by nature, Rachit was driven by the desire to have more direct ownership of accounts and to be more aligned with the customers. In short, Rachit was determined to make it in the sales world! It wasn’t long before Rachit took on the role of Competitive Displacement Account Manager in 2019 and, most recently, he took up the position of Account Executive in Enterprise Sales. Here’s what Rachit had to say: “Since my career move, I’ve learned more customer-centric selling, negotiation, and how to say ‘no’ (which is super important outside of work as well). This new chapter in my life excites me and motivates me to go see my customers each day with a new perspective on how I can better cater to their needs”. Keep going strong, Rachit!
Health awareness is the first crucial step towards making safe choices and creating a wholesome, happy life!

Engaging discussions on nutrition and digestive health. Brave blood donations. Challenging Yoga sessions. Necessary breast checks. Life-saving first aid courses. Insightful Cancer awareness panel. Energizing Pilates classes. Essential ergonomic education. All in all, our NICErs received top-notch health education and had a blast doing it!
NICErs from our Israel office were hoping for a cold, windy day to welcome winter at our recent soup festival… But the sun decided to make an appearance after all! ☀️ With lots of yummy soups to choose from 🍲, NICErs enjoyed sitting together outside under the last few rays of summer before cozying up for winter. ❄️ Keep warm, everyone! 🧣
We’ve always known that our NICErs are super creative and love thinking outside the box… And here’s the proof! We threw a full on 90s-themed extravaganza at our Israel office to celebrate the festival of Purim (think Halloween, but without the scary stuff)! In true spirit of our 90s throwback theme, our NICErs went all out and really delivered some hella fly looks! From the Power Rangers and ICQ, grungy teens and the Spice Girls, Trolls and the Addams family… We could swear we were taken back in time!
Time flies when you’re having fun… Our Global Talent Center (GTC) in Pune, India, celebrated 7 years (!) this week, with an extraordinary, colorful and entertaining extravaganza! After 2 years of virtual events, over 1,200 NICErs were delighted to celebrate Groove 2022 in person. Excitement was in the air as Groove kicked off with a traditional lamp lighting ceremony, followed by dozens of NICErs showcasing their amazing talents in musical and artistic performances. The “Desi Swag” theme (the blending of Indian and Western cultures) was brought to life through the amazing performances, and what’s an extravaganza without a DJ to keep us GROOVIN’ till late?
While the whole world has its eyes set on Qatar for the FIFA World Cup, our NICErs from India have been closely following a different ball! NICErs from our Pune office showed off their sporting skills at the 6th annual Box Cricket Tournament! With 48 participating teams, 500 NICErs put on quite the show as they played their hearts out and cheered on their friends. Through each nail-biting match, the incredible strength and camaraderie of our NICE teams was the star of the show. It’s not a given that employees come together and share wonderful moments outside of the work boundaries, and yet, we see this all the time at NICE! Special shout out to Oceans Eight – our winning team – and to all the runner ups. Great cricket action!
