We feel that it is important that each employee should understand the importance of environmental, social and economical aspects while taking business decisions.At Bharti, each employee is sensitized towards CSR issues and thus operations at the ground level are influenced. Such sensitization exercises have resulted in many socially and environmentally sensitive decisions on the ground. For example, Confidence plan for hearing impaired people , covers noise-making DG sets at extra cost, investing in consumer awareness campaigns to ensure safe use of mobile are some examples of the above. Corporate Social Responsibility is embedded in, and built upon, the stated ‘values’ of Bharti – the institution. These values guide all its activities and each employee is encouraged to take decisions and design business-linked processes that are sensitive to communities and environment. We have an obligation to fulfill to society and the communities in which we operate, and help improve the quality of life for everyone, today and in the future.
” Bharti’s contribution to society is structured through two channels namely: a) Bharti’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives, including initiatives undertaken by way of employee mobilization as well as running environment related programs. b) Bharti Foundation, a separate vehicle established in 2000 to lead the CSR agenda of Bharti Group of Companies Employees We believe that one of the most important drivers of growth and success for any organization is its people. At Bharti Airtel, ‘Mantra’ for employees delight focuses on 5 Ps- People, pride, passion, processes and performance.Bharti Airtel has been recognized among the best employers in the country for two successive years- being 14th in 2003 ; jumping ahead of several other large conglomerates to an enviable position of the 2nd best employer in the country in 2004. This is a clear demonstration ; acknowledgment of the robust, progressive, people as well as business aligned Human Resource practices, which the organization has developed and implemented remarkably in a very short p of time. Bharti Airtel follows an “open door policy” to approach the management, which helps resolve issues with mutual agreements. We encourage people to stand up against any unfair treatment for which we have the office of the Ombudsman, where employees can raise any issues regarding business and workplace conduct.
Bharti ensures transparency through the various communication policies, strategies and plans. Regular employee communication forums provides platform for the employees to raise issues that require resolution. Our leaders strongly believe in facilitating and initiating activities that help employess manage their health and well-being. Our focus always remains to redefine leadership; we develop leaders who enable performance and inspire their people to unleash their potential. Our people orientation reflects in our vision of being “targeted by top talent”, and a key aspect of our business focus “building a best-in-class leadership team that nurtures talents at every level”.Employee friendly HR policies have been put in place, which amply reflect the organization’s concern for its people. Some typical examples of these policies and practices include a family-day at office, half day leave for birthdays, gifts for anniversaries, compulsory 10 days off, festival celebration with family, no official meetings on weekends five days weeks, concierge services, call centre engagement programs etc.
these “care” policies and practices are applied across the organizational levels without any discrimination. From self-management workshops to aerobics sessions, yog classes to provision of relaxation/meditation rooms, we ensure that every employee keeps a check on his/her fitness.Tie-ups with leading health service organizations enable our employees to undertake periodical health check-ups depending upon their age. This facility is also extended to employee family members at discounted rates. The company provides Flexible Group Mediclaim insurance to all employees, covering all kinds of illnesses, accidents and hospital coverage for serious ailments. Apart from these specific engagements, we regularly organize health check up camps, eye check-up camps and stress management sessions. Some of our offices have opened gymnasiums/fitness facilities to ensure that the fitness fanatics do not have to worry about time constraints to remain fit.
At many of our locations, we have hired psychologists who undertake personal counseling sessions for employees. Even a sweeper in the corporate office must understand that, if he does not keep the office clean, the visiting shareholders could question the company’s ability to manage a business if they cannot manage their premises well” Bharti airtel offers a flexible compensation structure to its employees wherein the employees have the flexibility to structure their fixed component of their compensation according to their requirements within the ambit of legislation. Our performance linked Incentive (PLI) Schemes are linked with the variable component of our compensation structure. This component is linked to both the individual performance against his/her set KRAs (key result area) and the overall performance of the business entity that an employee belongs to.Our leaders and managers understand the need to bring clarity to employees about how their roles, goals and actions align the realization of organization’s vision and goals. The mechanisms like performance management system (PMS) and talent management process (TMP) are the key sources of identifying the training needs of the employees and check to competency levels for promotion. Environment, Health And Safety At Bharti we believe in the philosophy to refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle.
The company has taken many initiatives in this regard, both within the offices for the benefit of our employees; and for outside world for the convenience of the people. Few example of the initiatives taken are mentioned below: ) Most of the new Airtel buildings recycle waste water for sanitary and cooling of equipment purposes e. g. DG sets and AC systems. These buildings also have rain water harvesting systems for ground water replenishment where appropriate. b) All airtel offices have energy light fittings and DG sets. We also ensure automation that enables energy savings in our buildings.
Building Management System (BMS)- Intelligent Building concept is being followed in all the new airtel building and campuses that are coming up. The BMS controls The heating, Ventilation and Airconditioning (HVAC) system, electricity load management, water management, parking management, security and safety systems to ensure an efficiently run building on optimal resources. ) New buildings also incorporate the concept of and Energy Wheel which optimizes energy efficiency in buildings. The AC system in our buildings adds a certain amount of fresh air periodically; In the process of adding this fresh air the cool air within the building vents out which may result into higher usage of energy to bring the cooling/temperature back. The energy wheel concept ensures that as we bring the fresh air in it is pre-cooled thereby optimizing energy efficiency. d) Air quality is checked periodically in all Bharti Airtel offices, and based on the results, duct cleaning, carpet cleaning, chair and sofa shampooing is undertaken.Water quality is also mointiored in cooling towers for DG sets and air conditioner systems so that water born diseases such as legionella, etc.
are avoided. e) Use of air curtains on major office exits and double glazing also results in significant energy saving. f) At the time of oil change in DG sets etc. The disposal is only sent to companies/vendors approved by the central pollution control board (cpcb) for proper disposal as per CPCB approved processes . All Bharti Airtel offices follow the basic requirements specified by the pollution control board) and ensure statutory compliance. g) all Bharti Airtel offices have fire alarm systems. Periodic fire drills are carried out in Bharti Airtel as a Practice.
All airtel offices are Provided With first Aid boxes and have Identified people as First Aid Specialists Bharti Airtel takes all its equipment from its key vendors ,namely Nokia and Ericcson , who comply with all the required health and sfety norms . Each contract with the supplier has has a clause that they will comply with our code of conduct and each year suppliers have to give Bharti Airtel a certificate that they are compliant. There is an induction manual for sub-contractors as well as bharti standard operating procedures. Bharti Airtel is in the process of finalizing its environment /health ;safety policy (EHS)and will apply for ISO14001 compliance within the next 3 years for each of its facilities.

This has led to the major achievement of paper savings of approx 32,500 sq meter in plastic monthly as the reduced usage of paper coupons and bills . These results are all the more Remarkable, as these paper savings were achived despite our customer base increasing.
Sharing Infrastructure: We promote and believe in sharing of infrastructure (passive)with other telecom operators . This ensures that we can continue to serve our customers while utilizing minimum resources. This is of great help in nation like ours where we have a huge burden on our natural resources At present ,we share around a quarter of our mobile cell sites across the country With the other service providers. We have extended our approach of sharing even for the rural areas ,where it makes lesser business sense for operators to roll out . our efforts have been well acknowledged by the regulator and the government,who have initiated efforts for shared rural roll out. Reducing Fuel Consumption Due To Travel-Bharti ,having grown to be a large company on many counts ,faces the key issue of operations coordination . while one would usually coordinate with others through face-to –face meetings, Bharti has institutionalized the habit of using videoconferencing and intranet facilities to interact.
The significantly reduces the need for transportand thereby fuel consumption,it saves on time and generally creates much more efficient working atmosphere. Bharti earnings call,i. e sharing the result with our stake holders,also happen via audio-bridge. This enables investors and analysts world wide to link in to the the call and raise queries . Bharti does not stop at providing these facilities for internal use through. By offering our services ,. we enable people across the country to follow the same path and cut down on trnsport.
this is not only convienient;it also saves tremendous fossil fuel consumption. Green shelters-Another key initiatives has been the deployment of environmental friendly green shelters at aground 7,000 sites .These green shelters use haigh insulation material and passive cooling techniques like PCM,athermal salt, for indoor Base Transceiver Stations (BTS). Due to Its high freezing points,PCM provides cooling for 4 to 5 hours without any Air conditioning, thus negating any need of Electrical power or diesel generator during that time . This not only saves cost but also minimizes pollution . These green shelters also keep noise at a minimum. bharti is the first company in India to initiate such a measures, and is well ahead of governmental regulations on the matter.
our green shelter initiative has been appreciated by operators across the world and is being studied for mass deployment in many countries.Free cooling is another technique that we use to maintain temperature level during night hours by circulating cooler natural air from outside to inside the shelter by reworking air conditioner flows. This has reduced air conditioner consumption by almost 30% Bharti Airtel is also working with its suppliers and experimenting with alternate sources of energy like solar, wind, bio-fuel/hydrogen to further reduce environmental impact . We are very keen to look at the viability of these technologies once experiments are being found to be successful like in the case of green shelters. Advertisement Material: Bharti Airtel uses aqua –based ink for all its in –shop branding, in spite of its cost being three times the cost of ink which is normally used . The aqua based ink is environmental friendly and does not emit any fumes and hazard.Sometimes flex materials are used for hoardings ,but since they are not disposable these hoardings are donated to poor people so they can use it as roof –material on their huts.

What is Employee Engagement? Employee engagement is the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization.The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.
’ Thus Employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the organization. Aspects Of Employee Engagement Three basic aspects of employee engagement are:- · The employees and their own unique psychological make up and experience · The employers and their ability to create the conditions that promote Employee Engagement · Interaction between employees at all levels. Thus it is largely the organization’s responsibility to create an environment and culture Conducive to this partnership, and a win-win equation. Categories of Employee EngagementAccording to the Gallup the Consulting organization there are there are different types of people:- Engaged–“Engaged” employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations for their role so they can meet and exceed them. They’re naturally curious about their company and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels.
They want to use their talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion and they drive innovation and move their organization forward Not Engaged—Not-engaged employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals and outcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so they can do it and say they have finished.They focus on accomplishing tasks vs. achieving an outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions are being overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped. They often feel this way because they don’t have productive relationships with their managers or with their coworkers.
Actively Disengaged–The “actively disengaged” employees are the “cave dwellers. ” They’re “Consistently against Virtually Everything. ” They’re not just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness . They sow seeds of negativity at every opportunity. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish.As workers increasingly rely on each other to generate products and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers can cause great damage to an organization’s functioning . Importance of Engagement Engagement is important for managers to cultivate given that disengagement or alienation is central to the problem of workers’ lack of commitment and motivation (Aktouf).
Meaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones works (Thomas and Velthouse). In such conditions, individuals are thought to be estranged from their selves (Seeman, 1972) . Other Research using a different resource of ngagement (involvement and enthusiasm) has linked it to such variables as employee turnover, customer satisfaction – loyalty, safety and to a lesser degree, productivity and profitability criteria (Harter, Schnidt & Hayes, 2002).An organization’s capacity to manage employee engagement is closely related to its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results. Some of the advantages of Engaged employees are: ? · Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company ? and its products and services, and contribute to bottom line business success. ? · They will normally perform better and are more motivated. · There is a significant link between employee engagement and profitability.
? · They form an emotional connection with the company. This impacts their attitude ? towards the company’s clients, and thereby improves customer satisfaction and ? service levels ? · It builds passion, commitment and alignment with the organization’s strategies and goals ? · Increases employees’ trust in the organization ? · Creates a sense of loyalty in a competitive environment ? · Provides a high-energy working environment ? · Boosts business growth ? · Makes the employees effective brand ambassadors for the companyA highly engaged employee will consistently deliver beyond expectations. In the orkplace research on employee engagement (Harter, Schmidt & Hayes, 2002) have repeatedly asked employees ‘whether they have the opportunity to do what they do best everyday’. While one in five employees strongly agree with this statement. Those work units scoring higher on this perception have substantially higher performance. Thus employee engagement is critical to any organization that seeks to retain valued employees. The Watson Wyatt consulting companies has been proved that there is an intrinsic link between employee engagement, customer loyalty, and profitability.
As organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual working nvironment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to provide them with an organizational ‘identity Factors Leading to Employee Engagement- Studies have shown that there are some critical factors which lead to Employee Engagement. Some of them identified are:[pic] Career Development- Opportunities for Personal Development Organizations with high levels of engagement provide employees with opportunities to develop their abilities, learn new skills, acquire new knowledge and realise their potential. When companies plan for the career paths of their employees and invest in them in this way their people invest in them. Career Development – Effective Management of TalentCareer development influences engagement for employees and retaining the most talented employees and providing opportunities for personal development. Leadership- Clarity of Company Values Employees need to feel that the core values for which their companies stand are unambiguous and clear. Leadership – Respectful Treatment of Employees Successful organizations show respect for each employee’s qualities and contribution – regardless of their job level. Leadership – Company’s Standards of Ethical Behaviour A company’s ethical stand ards also lead to engagement of an individual Empowerment Employees want to be involved in decisions that affect their work.
The leaders of high engagement workplaces create a trustful and challenging environment, in which employees are encouraged to dissent from the prevailing orthodoxy and to input and innovate to move the organization forward Image How much employees are prepared to endorse the products and services which their company provides its customers depends largely on their perceptions of the quality of those goods and services. High levels of employee engagement are inextricably linked with high levels of customer engagement. Other factors Equal Opportunities and Fair Treatment The employee engagement levels would be high if their bosses (superiors) provide equal opportunities for growth and advancement to all the employees Performance appraisalFair evaluation of an employee’s performance is an important criterion for determining the level of employee engagement. The company which follows an appropriate performance appraisal technique (which is transparent and not biased) will have high levels of employee engagement. Pay and Benefits The company should have a proper pay system so that the employees are motivated to work in the organization. In order to boost his engagement levels the employees should also be provided with certain benefits and compensations. Health and Safety Research indicates that the engagement levels are low if the employee does not feel secure while working.
Therefore every organization should adopt appropriate
