Training a future-ready workforce

We are training our people to be equipped with new-age skills and competencies that will ensure the success of the Company as well as theirs. We are accomplishing this through collaboration with various institutions that facilitate skill development, management development, and technology development. Additionally, we have internal programs to provide accelerated training on Industry 4.0 – Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Sensor Technology, Human Machine Interface, PLC & Control Wing, Mechatronics, AR & VR, Big data analysis, and IoT.

During FY 2021, due to pandemic, we focused on online training and skill enhancement in the areas of Industry 4.0, Sensor, Robotics and Manufacturing Engineering. Online learning methodology was leveraged to help employees to understand advance engineering concept and transform their knowledge into daily activity. The usage of online learning through THORS learning platform reported exponential rise. More than 1,100+ employees were upskilled on new technologies through this.

We have taken the responsibility of vaccinating employees. 95% of those aged over 45 years have been vaccinated and those aged over 18 years will be vaccinated when they are available.

Employee health, safety and welfare

With the onset of pandemic, we introduced work from home policy for ensuring employee safety. All internal and external meeting and training initiatives were moved to virtual platform. At manufacturing facilities, a strict 'no visitor' policy was introduced for social distancing norms, except in some cases but only with a negative RT-PCR report valid for 48 hours. Measures like 100% temperature screening, use of masks and daily monitoring of oxygen levels and pulse rates were conducted across organization. Security staff was trained as per the COVID-19 protocols. Transport vehicles, shop floor and canteen were disinfected multiple times in a shift while all offices were disinfected daily.

Twice a week virtual meeting of all department HR facilitators and once a week of all HOD were done to take stock of COVID-19 situation and preventive measures. COVID-19 war room with a 24x7 manned helpdesk was created for immediate emergency help. Doctor teleconsultation facilities and tie-ups with best hospitals were made. Employees were also provided mental and psychological counseling assistance given the challenging times. Our teams ensured twice a week personal connect with all COVID-19 infected employees.
