Article: From the desk of HR
Why Policy changes are required? HR business Partnership is enablers within business on people initiatives. HR strategy provides analytics and insight into people
matters and help in people planning translating commercial challenges to people initiatives. Especially a mid-sized organization
might fall under the challenge of survival if they can’t have continuous effort on saving and 30% of that saving originates from HR,
which directly contrived through HR process assessment, re-engineering, process roll out, automation and continuous improvement
considering the compliance.
Change in Policy on Employee Welfare – Lets gauge Mediclaim premium scale up to
more than few Crores due to high claim ratio, organization bound to rethink instead
opting for Mediclaim policy from insurance company, isn’t viable to have in-house
kitty of average claim amount of last 3 years, which would be definitely approx 5
times cheaper than premium paying to insurance companies. HR has to amend
employee welfare policies redesign and restructure without impacting organization
objective and welfare initiatives.
Change in Employee separation policy – Project profits are reducing day by day
specially in telecom sector, so organization has to think innovative way of reduction in
costing for delivery of any project. Consequently, HR policies should focus
amendments around how existing manpower can be multi-skilled efficiently. HR has
to initiate productive conversation with the leaders to operate with the existing teams
as per optimum utilization. Instead hiring new employees existing employee to be
upgraded wherein high cost employees can justify their payout, otherwise before red
bell alarm dynamic HR has to create a policy of separation of high cost employees.
Change in Hiring Policy – Govt. does understand unless we reduce the number
of labor laws, much of the FDIs would go to other countries. New laws have
already been transformed however; same changes have not been reflected in
organization HR Policies. There is lack of awareness even in some old laws like
Apprentice Act makes it mandatory to hire 10% of employees under this act.
Unlike on roll employees they don’t emanate under labor laws. So approx. direct
saving of 30% cost of compliance on CTC and also be able to get refund from
Govt. on the % of salary has been paid to apprentice. Similarly under NEEM
Society/Trust/Company registered in Section 25 of Companies Act can hire
trainees without any cost of compliance. Contrastingly, taking advantage of
recent amendment finance minister introduced Section 80JJAA to the IT Act
wherein deduction of 30% is proposed to be given on additional wages paid to
the additional workers employed. HR has to make new framework, new policies
to translate the benefit under all these new Acts.
Changes culture of millennium – HR has to address immediately aspiration and
interest of new generation; they are connected with the world and adapt
motivation and lifestyle accordingly. In India we are still struggling to cope up
with mobile personal communication, late coming and absenteeism at duty
etc. This is high time we should create a policy with true concept of fun at
work, meeting target with least supervision. Employee centric organization HR
has become instrumental to reach to employees at least annually to take
feedback on improvement and employee pain areas which give valuable input
for change requirement of any policy.
Since beginning HR is dominated by Hard copies of documents only and soft copies were not encouraged. Online ERP system has
forced HR to rewrite the way we operate in organization considering easy accessibility and saving, apply approvals along with
hyperlink policies on click of a button. Four distinct phases of policy development that is Identify, develop, legally vet from an
attorney and Implement. Amendments might require as per the organization changed vision and target positioning as well and
most importantly should be updated to employees and all stakeholders.
HR Initiative on Cultural Change (Performance & Behaviour)
HR is in the process of employee competency development. In this direction we have identified 9 training modules as attached
for the current Financial Year. Few training sessions were already completed in Q1 and Q2. Following sessions were held in Q3
and Q4 in HO & Factory both.

Mediclaim, ESIC & Fire Training in Factory:
In order to maximize the ESIC usage by the employees, HR has conducted ESIC awareness sessions in Factory for guiding the
employees about the steps to utilize the ESIC multiple benefits. Mediclaim procedure was also communicated in the same session.
Casual/Contractual and on roll employees were available in the training session.
Fire Drill in HO- Comprehensive training on Fire, Electrical emergency was conducted in HO as an awareness campaign.
HR Savings Initiative
1. Joining documents have been transformed from Personal hard copy files to soft copy sheets. Below
objectives have been achieved:
1) Digital Movement has been supported
2) Man days have been saved which were previously being used in filling up the hard copies of
the documents and joining kit
3) Stationary cost has been saved. Folders cost per file is Rs. 88.78, considering the average of
joining; per month saving is Rs. 1.32 lacs per year.
4) Soft copies are easily accessible and navigation is extremely quick
2. We have successfully registered TNS under Apprenticeship Act, registered the employees under the same
and became eligible for refund for following its guidelines.
3. Along with contribution savings, we have registered the refund claim of 24 lakhs for 3 quarters against
Apprenticeship Act registration.
4. Notice Period Deduction duration has been revised from 7 days for the employees who are in probation
period to 30 days for all the employees. This initiative helped HR to arrest Separation along with the
Company Asset. This has direct financial positive impact on our organization.
5. In order to extend the Medical/Accidental benefits to off role staff, we have covered all Casual staff for GPA (Accidental Policy) as well as for Mediclaim Policy, whereas Contractual staff is covered for GPA (Accidental Policy).Therefore, all the contractual staff is covered under General Personal Accidental Policy.
6. We have successfully started our in-house Employee Medical Benefit Policy for all employees not covered
under ESIC.
Employee Engagement-

employee morale and motivation while increasing productivity. This can be a great way to show employees that you care about
them as people and have some fun together as a team. HR team ensure that birthday of the employees are celebrated.

Rewards and recognition are considered powerful tools, which are used to motivate employees. TNS believes in recognizing the employee’s efforts
and rewarding them for their performance. Traditionally we are practicing getting Nominations for R&R certificates for various achievements,
while this year while we have taken the appreciation approach to the newer heights wherein we have started motivating Project Managers/
Coordinators & Supervisors to appreciate their team mates through SMS, verbal, letter, patting or e-mail as well.
