Programmes to support continued
employability of employees (LA16)
Tata Steel
has in-house training facilities both for
technical and managerial training. The
training needs for all officers are
identified through Personal Development
Plans (PDP) in the SAP-HR portal on the
intranet and for all other employees by
Training Need Surveys (TNS). Delivery of
technical training by the Company’s
Technical Training Institute and managerial
training by the Tata Management Development
Center (TMDC) enable the company to enrich
the mix of its workforce in terms of its
managerial and technical competence. Higher
end training requirements of both technical
and managerial are met through external
programmes. Table 6.6 indicates the
topics covered in internal and external
training programmes. Table 6.7
indicates the institutes and organizations
where external training programmes are
attended in India and overseas.
Officers
trained on the managerial topics find them
useful for their career growth as well as
continued employability even after
superannuating. Many employees manage career
endings as a faculty in Management
Institutes or assignments on contract with
local companies. Equipped with managerial
and technical skills some entrepreneur
employees also start their own consultancy
firms.
