“The welfare of the labouring class must be
one of
the first cares of the employer.” |
– Sir Dorab Tata |
Tata Steel has not lost focus of this philosophy and
has adapted it in a broader and modern context in
its Vision 2007: A lot is dependent on the individual
spirit and enthusiasm of the employees to realise our
vision. We will accelerate our efforts to provide a work
environment that will ensure a sense of purpose and
personal growth for each individual. We wish to see
the smile on every face every day.
A pioneer in employee welfare, Tata Steel has invested
in the power of its people and enriched, empowered
and enhanced their lives. Even in its nascent years,
social scientists Sidney and Beatrice Webb were
brought in to work on welfare schemes. In fact, some
of the initiatives introduced by Tata Steel were the first
of their kind in India and some even in the western
countries at that time!
Tata Steel’s Human Resource policy recognises its
people as the primary source of its competitiveness.
It focuses on constantly updating and challenging
intellectual capabilities to enable them to excel in
performance. Special efforts are made for enhancing
strategic thinking skills and analytical abilities of its
managers and workers.
As a true ‘Learning Organisation’, Tata Steel has tapped
the knowledge available with its people through
Knowledge Management and sharing of best
practices.
In the year 2003, Tata Steel celebrated 75 years
of industrial harmony and mutual co-operation,
coordination and understanding between the
Management and the Union. It has twice emerged
as “Asia’s Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise” among
many other prestigious awards and recognition.
Tata Steel aims at ensuring transparency, fairness and
equity in all its interactions with its employees to
create an enthused and happy workforce.
