Helping-Board

Grievance Redressal

(TellUs) What's on Your Mind!

Hella India Lighting has a great practice for the same-named "TellUS!" which is an internet-based reporting portal. The employees can use it to report any serious misconduct. The company strongly believes that employees must have confidence that they can freely report concerns that are investigated by subject matter experts, with appropriate remedial action, and without fear or favor. So, what are you doing to strengthen that pillar of trust in your organization?

Working culture is very good and homely. It gives a sense of coming home and not a workplace. We stand united in celebrations and in difficult times.

Employee Testimonial

The best thing in the company is that it treats each employee as a family member, and the working culture is unique which gives the employee to give the best out of its abilities. As per my experience, Hella has some unique and unusual culture. that even in case of an accident, Hella stands in all thin and thick with the employee's family, which always motivates employees to do the best to achieve the goals of the company.

Managing Director, Hella India Lighting Ltd.

1. What is your personal approach to making a Great Workplace?
“Trusting & Challenging” each other and work like a family driven by the passion of Higher Purpose. Challenge each other to settle nothing less than only the best, 2nd to none, yet preserve the deeper sense of Trust and security surrounding us. Always driven by “What’s in my Hand” approach. Our profound purpose to save Indians on Road gives us the ultimate pride & hence trusting & collaborating becomes a natural choice at the workplace.

2. What are the top 2 benefits you see of creating a Great Workplace? 
Highly engaged workforce committed to stretched business goals achieved high double-digit growth in revenue generation over a stable 10 years period and more than a proportional positive impact on EBIT. It was an excellent example of a turnaround for an organization with the history of BIFR and having huge accumulated losses from the past. Winning back lost customers and the acquisition of a large portfolio of the customer is another ongoing benefit. Highly innovative Product development teams made us the “Most Innovative Enterprise” in the midsize manufacturing category by CII in 2017. These consistent good performances helped us gain business confidence among the management team of our parent company Hella Germany and opened up new markets for exports.

3. What are your top people's priorities?
100% Members of our Team take charge of their Learning & Development on a continuous basis and all superiors demonstrate job content as the means for achieving People's development and not otherwise. Every member of the team act with Entrepreneurial Accountability. Celebration of unique Human Diversity & preserve them like a Fruit Salad. United in overall Purpose yet preserving individual perspectives. Personal Growth always being matched with overall Organisational Growth.

4. How has your association with Great Place to Work® helped your business and strategic goals?
Like the superior quality of our Products & Processes has been our Business Card to get us respectable entry and credibility among large OEM Customers, the same is happening due to our Great Place to Work® Certifications. It improved our image and credibility further among Customers and Prospective employees, which helped us to win new projects and also make our critical employee acquisition very successful.
