All our initiatives are being derived out of above strategic intents with strong emphasis on "B2B (Back to Basics)" for achieving sustained People Processes maturity and leveraging following:

HIRING

In line with our Company Vision "To be the most admired PHARMACEUTICAL company" and its Strategic objective "To attract, develop, nurture and retain talent", the talent acquisition process in SPL seeks to get the "Right" fit. There are three main dimensions to a "Right" fit namely Culture fit, Value fit and Competency fit. The combination of the three elements is what we seek in all our prospective new employees.

WELCOMING

Integrating a new joinee into our culture starts from the time that the offer is made/accepted under a structured and institutionalised induction & on boarding program, "WOW! SPL" – Welcome to Our World of SPL". The purpose of this initiative is to give every new employee who joins SPL an objective & all-round view of our company, organisational culture, work ethic, complete and holistic understanding of the industry, the internal & external environments in which the organisation strives, and ensure familiarisation with all processes, functions and the key members, systems & policies, thereby enabling his/her engagement with the SPL way of life from the very first day.

INSPIRING

The vision to action approach at SPL is anchored and supported by our company's core values which are: Teamwork, Constantly Innovating and Being Different, Excellence in Execution, Professional and Personal Integrity, Proud of what we do. These values are demonstrated by all our employees in terms of relevant behaviours so that they get institutionalised and become a part of our way of working. In order to achieve the institutionalisation of our core values we have conceptualised and deployed organisation wide values deployment and communication initiative branded as LOVE SPL wherein LOVE is an anagram for "Living Our Values Everyday".

OUR REWARDS & RECOGNITION SYSTEM

SPL Value Star is an initiative that shows employees the value of their work by recognising them for the initiatives that they undertake over and above the call of duty, exemplifying behaviours in line with our core values. Under this umbrella, we have the following reward heads:

1. SPL Value Star Innovation Award
2. SPL Value Star Cost Management Award
3. SPL Value Star Pat on the Back Award – for instant recognition

CAPABILITY BUILDING

People and Learning form an integral part of the organisation's Vision. A virtual institution called SPL Academy has been conceptualized as the Centre of Excellence under which Sustainable Organization Capability Building is being facilitated and participants get "Certificate of Achievement" for successful completing the need based Functional & Leadership program.

For the very first time in SPL, strength based solution centric leadership across all levels was envisioned and an initiative was undertaken to provide 02 Man days of capability building to every employee as per the training needs identified through various sources.

TALENT BUILDING PIPELINE:

SPL Future Leader Program (SPLFL) is a Management Trainee program which is being implemented. In the last few years, we have hired many Management Trainees from premier B-schools across specializations and provided them with requisite hand's on cross functional training, hand's on functional training followed by independent charge in a role where there are to be eventually absorbed. As and when the SPLFL's complete the living of a business specific role, they are reviewed by the Management Committee and provided with immediate feedback. Through this program of shared leadership we aim to develop a strong leadership Talent pipeline within SPL to sustain the growth momentum. It is a 12 months program for building the leadership pipeline by transforming fresh professional talent into business managers.

We also have another talent pipeline, for the Manufacturing & Operations function under the SPL Manufacturing Trainee Program. We hire Graduate Engineer Trainees from top-notch engineering institutes and mould them in the SPL Manufacturing & Operations function over a period of 6 months through rigorous training and hands-on exposure into every aspect of the function.

Career progression & Succession Planning framework – Our objective behind the Career Progression & Succession Planning mechanism is to objectively recognize and reward consistent good performers with relevant potential and competencies as prescribed in the SPL Competencies Framework and facilitate the identification of immediate, short & long terms successors different roles & positions that are key to the organisation's successful functioning.

Employee Engagement Initiatives at the plant

Each year in the month of March, a Safety Week is celebrated at Sreerampore Plant. It is begun with an inauguration ceremony wherein the Chairman Safety Committee takes a Safety Oath along with everyone.

We have created a First Aid facility in the factory premise to immediately address any medical urgency at the plant.

On the occasion of Independence Day & Republic Day, a Flag Hoisting is done and witnessed by all employees at the plant and each individual takes home a box of sweets to keep alive the spirit of brotherhood.

At our plant, a series of employee engagement activities take place, like celebration of Durga Puja, Biswakarma Puja etc. etc. The motive behind organizing such activities in unit is to inculcate a sense of responsibility among the general workers towards the society, nation and working place out of their day to day usual activities/affairs.

Inspiration also comes through focus on innovation and performance. The robust Performance Management system transparently recognises performance and the SPLValue Starinitiative promptly advertises good work among all team members of SPL so that best practices initiated by someone can be replicated by all others, thus creating a learning environment.

In order to attract & retain talent and make SPL a "most admired employer" envisaged C&B benchmarking survey for market positioning and alignment is a continuous practice.
