Human Resource Management
HEG operates in an industry where technical competence and expertise is paramount. The company maintains that Human Resources is a key driver of business growth.
Organizational Development
HEG believes that productivity enhancement comes from well-structured and focused training and development programmes. The Company continually endeavours to equip its workforce with the latest tools and techniques to help
them raise their level of efficiency and effectiveness. In 2003, M/S Hewitt Associates were retained by HEG for HR Intervention and initiatives broadly covering Job Evaluation, Performance Measurement, Competency Assessment and Development, Organization Re-structuring and Reward Management. The company has subsequently implemented most of the recommendations and is of the view that each of these initiatives would go a long way in fostering an environment that allows employees to fully utilize their abilities to perform better and to drive the performance of the company.
Fostering a Quality-conscious organisational culture
Quality is not merely limited to being the cornerstone of HEG’s sustainable competitive advantage but is actively sought to be used as a facilitator of business growth. The Company on its part, constantly engages its employees, programmes aimed at ingraining a culture of quality in its workforce. HEG has further extended the quality initiative to its processes via a comprehensive Statistical Process Control System (SPC) based on Six Sigma Tools & Techniques. This has enabled the Company to attain international standards in manufacturing besides enhancing productivity. Moreover, the Company invites global consultants from time to time to seek assistance in its efforts to continuously improve processes.
Performance Metrics and Remuneration
The Company manages a highly-motivated and capable team of employees. Besides, the nature of the business requires that in-house competence and expertise be conserved and developed. As a manifestation of that concept, HEG has outlined a performance management system with the Balanced Score Card as the core. This seeks to not only motivate employees but also attract fresh talent into the fold.
Competency Sustainment
Present-day best practices require that succession planning not be restricted to senior management but also encompass key positions across relevant job categories. HEG as a truly global and modern organisation believes in preparing tomorrow’s leaders today. To that end, the Company has put in place an effective process to sustain a talent pool that can seamlessly handle organisational change at all times.
Industrial Relations
HEG has consistently chosen to engage its unions and labour force while initiating major changes that directly affect them. Furthermore, employees are empowered to bring to the fore issues relevant to them from time to time. The manner of engagement between the management and its workforce over the years has led to the creation of mutual understanding and trust between the two.
