Policies and Programmes for skills management of employees (LA17)
Unionized employees in the Company are organized into clusters in the departmental hierarchy. Departments may have 3-4 clusters depending upon the operational needs. Each cluster is a combination of jobs, necessitating multi-skilling of employees. Employees move up within and between clusters on attaining the requisite skill. While the Technical Training Institute imparts vocational and basic skills; the departments impart on-the-job training. Technical training programmes run by Technical Training Institute of the Company are indicated in Annexure-IX.

Skill enhancement is a continuous process. Skill training to an employee, which begins at the time he joins the company, continues throughout his career. Reinforcement takes place by way of his promotion within and between clusters in a department. In order to promote self- learning the company has introduced e-Learning whereby employees can access e-learning courses from their departmental e-Learning centers. Even unionized employees, by virtue of their technical skill and experience, find gainful engagement after their retirement from the Company.

DIVERSITY AND OPPORTUNITY
Equal opportunity practices (LA10)

Tata Steel is an equal opportunity employer. This has been articulated in the Tata Code of Conduct. All advertisements of Tata Steel related to recruitment carry this message. During career progression, equal opportunities are given prominently to all employees. The applications for employment do not carry columns like religion, province, and mother tongue. As a policy towards non-discrimination as per the Tata Code of Conduct, new recruitments through the Graduate Trainee, System Trainee & Trade Apprentices encourage induction of female candidates. Violation of the equal opportunity policy is redressed through the grievance redressal mechanism and Ethics Counsellor.

During the year, the Ethics Counsellor received 13 concerns related to equal opportunity employment violations, out of which four (4) were confirmed on investigation.

In addition, Tata Steel is concerned about protection of female employees from Sexual Harassment in the

Workplace, which is a part of the Code of Conduct Clause of Equal Opportunity employer. The Company has formed a Sexual Harassment complaint Committee, as per the guidelines of the Hon. Supreme Court
