At the Godrej Headquarters
in Mumbai, a new type of
experimental space called the
Godrej India Culture Lab has
taken shape. The aim of the
Lab is to create a culture of
free-thinking for employees
to generate new ideas and
innovate for 75 percent of
employees felt as though they
are more pressurised to be
productive than creative at
work. Serving as a catalyst
to create conversations
around powerful thoughts
of employees, the Lab’s
cultural investigations have
spanned across various
themes that are relevant to
contemporary India. Success,
to them, is a continuous
process of exploration and
discovery, intended to empower
innovation.
The welcome program at
Marico, titled ‘Slice of Marico’
includes a personalised gift,
a letter as well as a poster
displaying the Spirit of
Marico. The posters capture
the company values and
purpose with a super-hero
theme intended to inspire.
Studies show that 69 percent
of employees are more likely
to stay in an organisation
for a longer tenure if they
experience great onboarding,
resulting in high loyalty
and retention. Through this
program, new hires have a
slice of the culture embedded
in them right from the day one,
building a bond and sense of
pride.
At Oerlikon Drive Systems
India, blue-collar employees
are given behavioural training
on building self-confi dence
and self-esteem. In addition to
this, white-collar employees
are given training for building
leadership excellence,
time management, confl ict
management, and workmen
management among others.
Across the world, a shocking
48 percent of the employees
believe that their personal
development is not taken
seriously by their employer,
making them feel undervalued.
Through this training,
Oerlikon is able to lay emphasis
on individual development
and personal growth, which
ultimately contribute to the
larger picture of organisational
growth.
