Human resource development

Delivering an enhanced employee experience

We meet and resolve challenges together. Ours is a meritocratic organisation and we treat our employees equally. We provide our people an open, safe and motivating work environment that fosters their abilities and helps them grow through self-learning and development.

Our constant focus on promoting innovation and enterprise has created an enabling workplace that delivers business value while keeping the team together, engaged and committed.

Employee engagement and benefits

To develop robust processes, policies and initiatives, we actively solicit feedback of our 12,000+ employees. The employee engagement focus at Tata Communications begins from day one, with induction training being the first step. From thereon, we use a range of engagement methods including V Connect, GMC Roadshows, townhall meetings, newsletters and events.

All our workplaces are designed ergonomically, and with the comfort, safety and security of the workforce in mind. At most of our facilities, we also have medical rooms, resting places and visiting doctors’ services along with pantry areas, break-out areas and sports facilities. We have in place compensation and employee benefit practices that are designed to be competitive within the respective geographies of where we operate. The benefits vary across geographies and some of them include Group Medical Insurance, Group Term Life Insurance, Group Personal Accident Insurance, parental leave, awards for employees and retirement benefits for our full-time employees including Provident Fund, Gratuity, Medical and Pension Benefits in India and other geographies, as applicable.

We also make sure we always adhere/exceed to wages and working hours’ standards. With regards to the Indian region, ratio of the entry level wage to the minimum wage stands at 2.3 for both men and women.
