Tata Culture – Setting Us Apart from the Rest:

As a proud member of the Tata group, we place significant emphasis on effective human capital management. We take immense pride in the way we treat our employees and foster a culture that encourages engagement and upholds ethical conduct. At every stage of our operations, we reinforce the Tata culture, ensuring that our values permeate through all our programs and initiatives. This culture finds expression in various facets, including our commitment to diversity and inclusion, our focus on continuous learning and development, and our adherence to the Tata Code of Conduct. Furthermore, we celebrate this culture with enthusiasm at every opportunity by organizing insightful sessions, engaging round-table discussions, and encouraging employees to express themselves on our digital workspaces. These collective efforts help us reinforce the spirit and essence of our Tata culture.

Talent Retention & Acquisition:

We adopt a comprehensive approach to talent management, focusing on both cultivating internal talent and strategically hiring key individuals to enhance our competencies. Our aim is to attract promising talent at the entry-level, increase the intake of fresh graduates and invest in their training and development. Throughout the year, we have successfully recruited entry-level talent from esteemed institutions such as IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Mumbai, IIT Chennai, IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee, and IIT Banaras as well as several National Institute of Technology. In addition, we actively seek out diverse talent from allied industries and reputable organizations, broadening our talent pool. To ensure a seamless integration, our new recruits undergo rigorous induction and training programs, allowing them to quickly adapt and contribute effectively across various business units and functions.

Learning & Development:

As part of our transformation program, we implemented significant changes to our learning and development program, encompassing a range of initiatives. This involved refreshing our policy and organogram, as well as introducing new offerings to enhance our capabilities. To address the specific needs of project sites, our learning and development (L&D) efforts focused on three key areas: Project Management, Technical Programs, and Behavioral & Compliance sessions. While some L&D programs were conducted virtually, others were delivered directly at project sites. We effectively utilize our Learning Management System (LMS) to drive compliance and enhance training. Over last year, we have we continuously enriched our database with mini e-learning modules. In addition to technical and behavioral programs, we place special emphasis on compliance modules such as Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD), Transgender, and HIV AIDS policy. As an Authorized Training Partner (ATP) for PMI®, USA, our TPL Academy programs also offer Professional Development Unit (PDU) credits to participants certified in PMP®. Moreover, our TPL Academy LMS provides employees with access to NPTEL courses on the platform. Our affiliation with Tata Tomorrow University, an extensive learning anddevelopment platform that caters to diverse programs across the Tata Group helps bring many more L&D programs to our employees. We have also partnered with CREDAI for a skill development program under the government’s NIPUN initiative. Last year around 1,000 workers were trained, receiving a nationally recognized certificate from NSDC and undergoing assessment by the Construction Skill Council. Our flagship program, known as the Future Leader Development Programme, focuses on identifying and developing future leaders. The company sponsors a 20-month executive program at IIM Ahmedabad with a primary goal to build a robust pipeline of upcoming leaders who will contribute to the company’s growth and success.

Employee Engagement and Well-Being:

We prioritize employees’ needs and provide support through various initiatives. We value the long-term relationships we have with our employees and offer multiple benefits. Engaging activities and events are frequently organized, including leadership sessions, remote working skills, sports day, workplace celebrations etc. Employee well-being initiatives are conducted to drive engagement and ensure a supportive work environment. Our employees gain an opportunity to interact with the leadership team and understand different aspects of our business by participating in town hall meetings conducted at office locations and project sites. Through Tata Stories, a 2-day session, we educate employees about the Tata Way, showcasing personal experiences and how our organization’s values have contributed to fulfilling careers. Additionally, our employee newsletter, ‘Humans of Tata Projects’, showcases real-life stories that exemplify our values. We constantly revise our policies to align with industry trends and prioritize employee wellness.

Diversity & Inclusion:

We foster a multi-tiered organizational culture rooted in our philosophy of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), aligned with the Tata group values, TCoC, and our Mission, Vision, and Values. Our relentless focus on inclusivity permeates all aspect of our operations. Through targeted communication and development initiatives, we sensitize our workforce and build a culture that embraces D&I. Our comprehensive D&I programs are built on pillars such as talent acquisition, career advancement, physical infrastructure, and sensitization. We continuously strive to make our organization future-ready by leveraging diversity to enhance the overall quality of our talent pool. We have made significant progress in gender diversity, increasing the representation of women from 3% in FY2018 to 6.8% in FY2023, challenging stereotypes in the EPC sector. Our D&I policy, integrated into a broader framework, emphasizes inclusion and compliance, supported by tailored workshops and awareness programs. Furthermore, we prioritize social equity and equal opportunities for the SC/ ST communities, promoting access to education, technical skills, and entrepreneurship abilities. In our commitment to gender diversity, we aim to raise the representation of women to over double-digit percentage in the next two years, with a focus on campus recruitment. Ensuring safety of our diverse employee base and their well-being is a high priority for us. The company runs special programs to support women in the workplace and promote work-life balance. These programs include maternity leave policy, creche facility, WFH policy, flexi timings, and more. Additionally, we have introduced “We Interns,” a program specifically designed for women interns, providing them with valuable exposure to the EPC space.

Employee Resource Group

Earlier this year, we announced the formation of our Employee Resource Group (ERG), which is devoted to cultivating an inclusive culture. We aim to foster allyship, promote equal opportunities, and create a profound sense of belonging within our organisation through leadership involvement, effective communication, comprehensive training, and robust documentation. Together, we will build a stronger, more diverse, and united workforce.
