Since its inception from June 2020 all-out efforts have been made to put in place employee friendly policies that can open new opportunities, create a learning environment for growth and development and also remove stagnation at TPCODL. These efforts have ushered positive changes and enhanced significantly employee engagement.
To meet its stiff targets and plans, the TPCODL has re-engineered and reinforced several functions creating new positions of Commercial Managers, Customer Service Managers, Customer Relations Executives, Engineering and Quality Assurance Engineers, Enforcement Managers, Projects Managers and others which have provided new vistas of challenging opportunities to our existing employees and look forward to assured career enhancements shortly on these almost forty new positions.
Exposure and training in new technologies like SCADA, GIS, and Smart Metering will enhance their capabilities and growth aspects too. Also a decision was taken to implement Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) Scheme and ensured grade level enhancements.
Proactive engagement with our technician cadres and regular interactions with the unions have been on top priority ensuring several rounds of meetings and discussions with senior leaders. To ensure seamless understanding and to share regular updates, the HR team has regular communication with their representatives. Open Door Policy adopted by the TPCODL has paid rich dividends and within six months many long pending grievances have been resolved.
