32. ORGANIZATION EFFECTIVENESS

Last year, your company's endeavor was to build a future ready organization. To engage the next generation of workforce and to help your Company find talent for opportunities seamlessly, the Company has further shaped its people practices under the umbrella of Design U2.0. Design U2.0 is a journey of self-discovering and development by which individuals in an organization take responsibility for optimizing their future readiness and will deliver on the four capability areas of Listen, Collaborate, Ideate and Create for the individual and organization both. Analytics, social collaboration, live feedback for performance, development and value creation are the areas your Company has invested in. Here are some examples of how the practices adopted by the Company have evolved and seen external recognition:

Career Management

Employees have recast their roles as CEO of their own careers. Employees access the Company's career architecture, understand what it takes to be selected for each opportunity and go through a job based integrated curriculum to advance their career aspirations on a social career management platform. The managers and unit heads themselves have come together to create reference - able career development plans to move from one job to another for the Company's employees. Plans found useful by the network are further endorsed for wide adoption. This effort by the network and for the network is a big draw for career aspirants.

In this social career management platform, employees can refer internal opportunities to other employees and can anonymously vote their career advice to a fellow employee. Business groups are already utilizing this platform to internally identify the talent pipeline for roles they have in newer areas like Digital and IOT (Internet of Things).

Corporate Executive Board, an external global research company, has selected the Company's process as a material proof of how social career management can be accomplished and is advocating it as best practice to Fortune 500 companies. People Matters and the Learning and Organization Development roundtable have recognized this as amongst the best talent management practices in Asia. The Company's employees who have authored this framework have been published in reputed management journals.

Performance Management

The Company has made the employees responsible for establishing expectations and seeking feedback at every role that is assigned. The employees have been enabled to influence their network of peers to co-own goals. This has helped enable cross functional collaboration and interlock. Employees can give and receive help on their goals by making them public and also express their likelihood of reaching their goals. This process helps the Company improve predictability of business performance by accessing real time ground level feedback. This has made feedback and expectations exchange more instantaneous and the practice itself more social. The above has been enabled on a cloud based technology platform.

Employee Engagement and Feedback

Understanding employee engagement and views on the employment experience periodically in our view is not reflective of the needs of the workforce today. Your Company's employees continue to use the Smart Survey platform created to advocate a culture of transparency by sharing views triggered at various stages of the lifecycle.

In the last financial year, your Company not only followed a monthly rhythm of measuring employee experience at each event in the employee life cycle, but also addressed this with sharp and specific actions for different talent segments at different instances of the employee experience. More employees participated in giving and receiving feedback in the annual cycle as well. This was reinforced because of the credibility of this process.

Talent Management and Leadership Development

In the 2-year flagship program through which the Company invests in leadership, 150 aspiring leaders have graduated to occupy higher responsibilities.

The Company has in place a talent risk and succession framework for key positions. This helps the Company take development and deployment decisions for individuals.

The Company assesses potential for 100% of the workforce. Every six months, the Company proactively look for high performers and acknowledge their efforts through a high differentiation of rewards and also provide them access to opportunities.

Value Creation

The Company has nurtured an atmosphere where employees are taking the lead in finding solutions and ideas and then leading them to fruition. This culture of innovation defined under Ideapreneurship which is a self-sustaining, self-inspired, innovation engine that drives the Company forward and prepare as an organization of the future. Every employee gets the opportunity to ideate, and where these everyday ideas set a new business paradigm.

Ideapreneurship puts employees at the forefront of innovation where they innovate and collaborate with each other and with customers to seed, nurture and harvest ideas. This innovation and collaboration culture has given rise to a number of platforms (seed platforms) for employees to bring about a business impact - The Value Portal, LeadGen, MAD JAM and Good Practices Conference.
