LEARNING ON THE
GO
THE FARM
MECHANIZATION
CHALLENGE
THE WORKPLACE
DEMOCRACY
At Eureka Forbes, the
House of Eurochamps was
formed to give a voice to their
employees in decision making
and strategic development
of the organisation. They
instituted the democratic
process as a way of integrating
a unique governance model
with the workplace practices
to empower the employees.
Eurochamps are elected
through a secret ballot
based on their individual
plans to support their
constituencies. Those elected
hold regular meetings in their
constituencies to discuss issues
which need to be specifi cally
handled. The issues that
escalate are carefully reviewed,
after which bills are tabled
accordingly.
Mahindra Holidays &
Resorts has introduced an
AI-Driven virtual trainer on
WhatsApp to build a culture
of continuous learning for
the front line team. Bringing
the fi eld team together for
knowledge sharing and
product refreshers is always
a challenge. By introducing
training modules on WhatsApp,
they are able to track user
scores, real-time progress,
and feedback. The initiative
has not only increased user
engagement but has also
helped achieve a 60 percent
reduction in training cost over
the traditional classroom-based
programs.
At Mahindra & Mahindra
AFS, a platform for stimulating
the minds of agri-engineers
in India called ‘Farmkshetra’
has been launched. The
initiative has been divided into
phases wherein participants
present a business case on a
variety of topics, spanning
cost-effective practices and
designing of farm implements.
Farm mechanisation in India
stands at about 40-45 percent,
which shows that we lag
behind developed countries.
With many agricultural
processes still underdeveloped,
the platform gives them
the chance to come up with
innovative solutions for farm
mechanisation and bridge the
underlying gap.
