5 HR Policies

As a part of this engagement, the consultant was required to study the existing establishment practices of
Tidel Park and use their experience in entities from the public and private sector and develop a set of rules
which would form the HR Policy for Tidel Park.
The objective of the management of Tidel Park was to ensure that these policies are in line with private
sector practices3 as it is not a government company (as articulated in the Board meeting to the consultants).
Therefore, this has been considered in the design of this HR Policy. This policy will help in setting the
grounds for a just mechanism to attract suitable talent into the company as well as retain talent while
ensuring career progression. Similarly, tax efficient compensation structure in line with industry practices
(based on CTC concept) and reasonable benefits may now be administered with greater ease.

As mentioned earlier, IT enablement of the HR functions would facilitate employee-initiated activities


through a suitable portal. It would also reduce the administrative workload and loss of time of the HR
Department and the management. This would give the company more time to focus on employee
development, project management and other customer centric activities.

The following policies have been defined which form a part of the HR Policy of Tidel Park:

Sl. Name of Rule/ Policy

1 Service Policy

2 Recruitment Policy

3 Promotion Policy

4 Pay, Allowance and Benefits Policy

5 Leave Policy

6 TA/ DA Policy

7 Transfer Policy

8 Festival Advance Policy

9 Code of Conduct and Business Ethics

10 Training & Development Policy

Annexure 1: Performance Criteria for Promotions


The company has adopted a five-point performance rating scale to assess the performance of its employees.
In each year, the company will accord a score out of 5 for each of its employees based on their performance
assessment. One of the criteria for determining the eligibility for promotions is the performance score of the
employee. These criteria are elaborated in the table below:

Grade to which
the promotion Performance criteria for promotion to the Grade mentioned alongside
is being sought

A5 Should have secured a minimum average score of 21 out of 25 during the last five-years.

A4 Should have secured a minimum average score of 20 out of 25 during the last five-years.

A3 Should have secured a minimum average score of 20 out of 25 during the last five-years.

A2 Should have secured a minimum average score of 18 out of 25 during the last five-years.

A1 Should have secured a minimum average score of 18 out of 25 during the last five-years.

A0 Should have secured a minimum average score of 18 out of 25 during the last five-years.

B4 Should have secured a minimum average score of 17 out of 25 during the last five-years.

B3 Should have secured a minimum average score of 17 out of 25 during the last five-years.

B2 Should have secured a minimum average score of 17 out of 25 during the last five-years.

B1 Should have secured a minimum average score of 17 out of 25 during the last five-years.

B0 Not applicable

Rationale for the above scoring pattern:


- Promotions within B0 to B4 are fixed at a minimum score of 17 (out of 25) and this would imply
at least three years of a score of 3 out of 5 + at least two years of a score of 4 out of 5. At these
levels, it is important for the incumbent to ensure a steady state of operations for Tidel Park with
incremental improvements on an annual basis. The scores for promotion therefore reflect this
i.e. if the incumbent has demonstrated a potential for good performance in at least two of the five
years, it is expected that the potential for taking on higher order roles exists in the individual.
- Promotions from B4 to A0: This promotion is a change in the role of the individual and it also
moves an individual from a Non-Executive to an Executive role. Therefore, the bar for promotion
to this A0 level has been kept marginally higher than those at the lower levels.

- Promotions within A0 to A2: Given that Tidel is a reasonably flat organisation and the roles do
not significantly change across these four levels, these levels are primarily for promotion
purposes. Therefore, the minimum qualifying score has been kept at a modest 70%. This is
however higher than that of the Non-Executives, since a higher order of performance is expected
of the individuals at these levels.

- Promotions within A2 to A4: Given that Tidel is a reasonably flat organisation and the roles do
not significantly change across these four levels, these levels are primarily for promotion
purposes. However, these levels represent HoD levels at Tidel and hence have the performance
scores are marginally higher than the immediately preceding levels.
- Promotions from A4 to A5: This promotion denotes a move from an HoD to a CXO level.
Therefore, the bar for this promotion has been kept higher than for all other levels since the
performance.

6.1. Training Need Analysis:


6.1.1. Identification of training needs is a critical process in the overall training process if it is
to be ensured that relevant training is to be provided to employees of the Company.
6.1.2. The training needs of the employees of the Company (role wise) shall be defined based
on the business needs of the organisation. These business needs, at an organisational

level can be translated to departmental needs and finally to training needs at an


individual job level.
6.1.3. In departure from conventional practice in Government organisation, inputs from the
Appraisal formats of the employees shall only supplement the above training need.

6.2. Design of Training Programs


6.2.1. Training programmes delivered internally shall be developed mutually between the HoD
of the concerned department (i.e. the department that owns the training content for a
particular course) and the HR Department. Necessary support from external experts in
the development of training courses may be obtained.
6.2.2. The HR Department shall consolidate the training content developed by the respective
departments course wise and catalogue the same for future reference and delivery. A
conscious attempt to develop standardised training content and shall be undertaken.

6.3. Design of Training Calendar


6.3.1. The HR Department shall develop the training calendar for the following financial year
and publish the same by the month of April. The training calendar shall contain the list
of training programs finalised for the upcoming year. The duration, location (tentative)
and faculty details of the courses shall also be defined.
6.3.2. The training calendar shall be designed on the basis of the total number of employees
requiring training in a given year. A template for designing future calendars is shown
below.

Sl. Programme Days Dates Participant Number of Faculty Venue


Title Group Participants

6.4. Identification of Employees for training


6.4.1. Identification of employees for training shall be as per the training needs defined for the
posts. Refer Annexure 1 for illustration.
6.4.2. Employees may however be nominated by the respective HoDs for specific training
programmes on a need basis.
6.4.3. The HR Department shall attempt to accommodate the nominated employees, but may
defer the training of employees in case of limitation of batch size/ logistical limitations.
6.4.4. Attempt shall be made to ensure that employees are provided training equitably in a
calendar year.

6.5. Training Delivery


6.5.1. The mode of training delivery, the content, duration and pedagogy for each course shall
be as defined in the training module. For training content developed internally and
courses delivered internally efforts shall be made to ensure a proportionate mix of theory
and

6.6. Training Evaluation


6.6.1. Training evaluation is typically carried out through a questionnaire administered at the
end of the course. Such questionnaires at best, provide inputs on the method of training

delivery The key purpose of the


training i.e. to
measured.
6.6.2. The HR Department shall, therefore, for each training module, identify a list of KPIs that
link the training course to the business of the Company. For example, for a course on
Customer Relations, the following KPIs may be used:
Sl. Course KPIs linked to Business Performance Target

Generic KPIs

1 % of employees satisfied with course content 85%

2 % of employees satisfied with course delivery 85%

Course Specific KPIs

3 % change in number of new tenants identified 80% of past year

4 % adherence to timelines in delivery of workspace/ site to the new tenants 95%

Note: It may be argued that performance indicators are not a fair measure to gauge the efficacy of a training program.
However, it is imperative that this connection between business performance and Training and development is established
even if it needs to be forced. Only then will HoDs seriously review training program content and delivery; participants will
attend programs with intent to improve their performance on the job and finally the HR Department and the course instructors
seriously review pedagogy to ensure relevant and work related instruction.

7. Training Administration
7.1. Once the training calendar is published annually, the HR Department shall consolidate the list
of employees who are to undergo the training. Additional nominations of HoDs shall also be
incorporated and a final list prepared. Based on the total number of employees identified, the
batches of training etc. shall be finalised and communicated to the employees.
7.2. The logistics pertaining to the training shall be managed by the HR Department and
communicated to employees prior to the programme.

8. Interpretation
In case of any question related to interpretation of this policy the decision of the Board or the Nomination
and Remuneration Committee (NRC) shall be final. The Board/ NRC Committee may also have the powers
to relax/ delete/ modify/ revise any of the provisions of this policy and notify detailed guidelines (if required)
keeping in view the interest of the Company.
