Talent Acquisition¹

Greenko believes that while delivering multiple values to the economy, society, and environment, the regenerative resilient and circular model will deliver sustained returns to its financial stakeholders. The group follows diverse mechanisms to acquire and manage human talent across its business operations.

The talent acquisition that is not limited to Campus hiring but complemented by grooming the employees to rise to the next level by acquiring the desired competencies. The group follows the induction mechanism and on-boarding process for its recruits.

The new hires during their induction into the Greenko family were made aware the Group’s value systems to be inculcated into all the work aspects. . The new hires are made aware of the HR Systems & Policies, Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Work (POSH), Greenko Value System (SEEDIT), Environment, Health & Safety (EHS), Greenko Integrated Management System (GIMS) and Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).

During the reporting period, Greenko has successfully hired 181 new talents within an average period of 90 days from the time the vacancy arises.

The group hired a total of 369 Engineer Trainees from 2011 to 2020, over 34% had an experience range of 6 -10 years and 66% had over 5 years’ experience. More than 100 employees who started their careers as trainees in the last year, are handling critical roles in mid-level management across the group today.

The Performance Management System with measurable deliverables through KPIs with a weightage of 50% each for business/functional KRAs and Greenko Value System (SEEDIT) has enabled the group to measure and track the performance. The performance appraisal system at Greenko is also instrumental for training need identification, succession planning, and career management. The leadership teams have developed resilience and built the mechanism to make sure employees working in multiple locations are motivated with a commitment along with a sense of ownership in a continuous learning environment, keeping in tune with the organizational values.

A Key metric of employee ‘Learning Curve’ has progressed effectively over the last 10 years, with a humble beginning of 3 hours per capita, per year in 2011-12, to a whopping 43.06 hours per capita in 2020- 21, indicating more than 10 times increase in training hours during this decade. This is in keeping with increasing knowledge intensity along the Greenko’s transformational path.

Digital Transformation – A Journey towards Greenko 4.0 & Beyond

Greenko understands that Implementation of digital technology is not enough for an HR transformation. The digital transformation must be complemented to organizational culture and adequate training needs to be delivered. As a part of the HR digitization plan, all the HR statutory compliances are integrated through a ‘compliance tool’ .

Automation/digitalization at Greenko has eliminated the chances of human error and has helped in streamlining the process with less human intervention. It gives the workforce better visibility of the various tasks, can pinpoint pain areas, and suggest improvement measures, increasing the overall productivity. It also helps in managing deadlines and reduces the amount of time needed to complete a task. This has resulted in higher productivity rates for routine tasks, with the additional benefit of freeing up employees’ time to concentrate on more complex and significant assignments.

Digital MIS platform for Greenko’s HR management

Digital transformation at Greenko via implementation of Darwinbox for HRMS comprises of the following salient features:

Digital Talent Acquisition & Onboarding, Automated Attendance, Mobile-first & Intuitive UI to enhance user experience and adoption, Inbuilt, integrated HR Helpdesk, Interactive Analytics & Comprehensive Reports, Greenko leave management system (GLMS) has also been implemented and being used as on date, however progressively the leave management will be an integral part of the Darwin HRIS.

New Energy Solutions

New Energy Solutions will be significant part of Greenko’s business in the next few years. The new energy solutions would require different capabilities and structures. The business will require significant chemistry and chemical engineering knowledge and expertise, could have relatively lesser government control and engagement and it will face decentralized business and individual customers. The strategy is to meet the Human Capital needs in the next 4 years will be by augmenting relevant capabilities ; partnering with entities with relevant expertise, developing such capabilities and skills internally by leveraging capabilities and potential of the existing resources.

Greenko’s Human Capital requirements for growth will continue to be addressed young trainees from reputed institutes and reskilling the existing multi-skilled mid and senior level management & leadership teams.

A committee of Senior Leaders from Business, HR and GIMS have reviewed the HR policies to contextually improvise it in line with business requirements and to introduce best practices for sustaining and improving employee morale.

The HR along with the leadership teams have envisaged and implemented a talent mapping exercise and developed a management and leadership pipeline to be achieved by 2025 and take it ahead. The strategic roadmap to achieve the desired target is depicted in the infographic below:

Greenko’s Regenerating & Agile HR Eco-System for New Energy Solutions

Greenko’s transformational journey towards 3.0 & 4.0 spanning over next 5 years need to be supported with required employee competencies in newer technologies and domains. The existing talent pool must be reoriented with augmentation of niche technical and executional operational competency to ensure Group’s scalability as a leading and sustainable player in the industry. To achieve this target, Greenko has set up a core committee headed by the Senior Leadership and Board to engage with the Business Leaders and evolve a strategic Learning & Development agenda till the year 2025.

Given the aspirational Learning & Development agenda to be achieved by 2025, the L&D function will be strengthened with appropriate leadership talent, who will ensure abridging and developing knowledge and skills seamlessly.

Developing the new Centers of Excellence (CoE) & Knowledge Management Repository for existing (CoE for GAM/Projects/ELTP/ EHS) and new Energy Vertical will be a conscious and critical plan of action for the L&D team, working closely with the business leaders. The knowledge management plan along with the initiatives to be taken up to achieve the set targets is depicted in the infographic below:
