Developing

SuperMan(agers)

More than 700 employees in Bajaj Finance move through internal job postings every year. The sheer volume poses a challenge of ensuring a smooth and successful transition of employees that can help them become successful performers in the new role. Bajaj Finance facilitates this superbly through a program called SuperManager Studio. A combination of online and classroom-based pedagogy, this program takes the participants through a theatre-based depiction of actual workplace scenarios in order to develop people management skills, among other things.

Managing Director, Bajaj Finance Ltd.

1. What is your personal approach to making a Great Workplace?
Over the years we have built a culture of ownership within the company; it cuts across the hierarchy, business or function that one is in. With complete openness and transparency, employees are able to view their contributions to the whole at every step of their journey. This, along with our DNA of hard work and execution focus, makes it possible for every employee to contribute to the growth story of the company. This ownership to deliver results, to challenge, and to change old ways of doing things makes it engaging and meaningful for the employee. In return, our robust incentive and R&R approach ensure that we adequately reward and recognize the employee’s efforts and contribution. In addition, our philosophy of making the employee “own their career” through a fair and transparent Internal Job Posting (IJP) process, creates the right environment to make BFL a great place to work.

2. What are the top 2 benefits you see of creating a Great Workplace?
There is a direct correlation between an engaged employee and the contribution s/he makes. A great workplace empowers and enables employees’ to tap into their passion, and inspires them to do their best. The results are visible in multiple ways; better products & services to our customers, faster turnaround times, better productivity, reduced attrition etc. which in turn helps us achieve our growth aspirations.

3. What are your top people priorities?
A large part of our senior leadership today is homegrown; we aim to continue to find our next set of leaders also from our internal talent pool. With our cultural anchors as our DNA, our current leadership is required to mentor & nurture the emerging talent pool. Additionally, as we expand into deeper geographies, creating a sense of connect among our employees on the ground is critical; developing employees, and deep geo touch thus forms our top priorities.

4. How has your association with Great Place to Work® helped your business and strategic goals?
For any business, outside-in perspective is critical to remain market relevant and current, the association helps us benchmark with the best & high performing organizations in India and the region. It helps us remain updated on industry best practices.

Chief Human Resources and Administration Officer, Bajaj Finance Ltd.

1. What can your present and potential employees be sure of from a work culture perspective in the organization?
We consistently drive our employees to reach their full potential from the day they join Bajaj Finance Ltd. To enable their growth on their journey, employees across roles have access to training opportunities, real-time feedback and growth opportunities, enabling everyone to do the best work of their lives while here.

2. What, according to you, is a people challenge your industry is facing?
Critical skills shortage especially in the growing geographies of a fast-paced organization.

3. How are you ensuring a consistent workplace experience FOR ALL your employees, irrespective of their role, age, gender, tenure etc. in the organization?
We aim to be one of the most profitable organisations in the BFSI sector with a strong digital foothold, catering to market opportunities with an appropriate product mix and leveraging our employee strengths to mitigate the risk. We nurture each employee to control their career path and cultivate them as the leaders of tomorrow. In line with this, all opportunities are equally provided to all employees of the organization – whether it be their control over their career in the organization through an open and transparent internal job posting process, helping them make more informed decisions about their own health through our wellness initiatives, including their family in company celebrations or helping them contribute to the society through volunteering initiatives.

4. How has your association with Great Place to Work® helped your business and strategic goals?
The Great Place to Work® survey enables us to understand the pulse of our employees and be able to act on their feedback directly. It also enables us to see whether the people policies we implement and engagement initiatives we drive help our employees feel a deeper connection with the organization as a whole, and also if we need to course correct at any point.
