Psychometric tools, panel interview and reference checks are used for getting on board talent with right competencies for the roles in the group companies.

Induction is one of a very important dimension of managing talent in the group companies. A newly joined employee is inducted such that (s)he is professionally, socially and culturally integrated. The employee is made aware of the group policies and depending upon the role, an induction plan is prepared and the employee made to interact with all relevant stakeholders.

Performance Management

The Group has a robust performance management system (PMS) in each of its business. The concept of Balanced Score Card is used after customizing it to the groups’ unique cultural ethos and managerial philosophy. The thrust of PMS is alignment, wherein the individual business objectives are aligned to the enterprise objectives and the objectives of department aligned to the respective business objectives. Individual objectives are aligned to the objectives of the department / business.

A rigorous review of the objectives takes place on a quarterly basis, with thrust being to facilitate and enable for execution. At the end of the performance cycle, the performance is evaluated, at the backdrop of context. The learning agenda and career interests are identified for being addressed.
