Excerpts

Total Quality Management (TQM) Workshops

Godrej started total quality management (TQM) workshops in 1995, to inculcate a `positive work culture' in the company. In 1997, all the 5,000 employees of GSL were put through a three-day workshop as part of the "visioning" session of TQM...

'Parivartan'

In 2000, 'Parivartan' was launched in GSL with the objective of motivating employees as well as imparting knowledge about the sales functions of GSL. A team of 18 senior executives from all divisions spanning sales, logistics and HR were called on to provide necessary inputs...

Economic Value Added (EVA) Training

In 2001, Godrej introduced Economic Value Added (EVA) in all its group companies. An extensive training program was undertaken for various managerial and officer levels. Over 500 employees were trained to manage EVA by making appropriate decisions involving investments and/or trade-offs between the income statement and the balance sheet. This training programme was conducted by Stern Stewart, New York based management consultancy who had pioneered the concept of EVA...

GALLOP

GALLOP was instituted in early 2002 as a structured and organised induction-training programme at Godrej. GALLOP aimed at nurturing the new recruits into leaders and dynamic performers through this one-year programme. The programme started with an induction speech by the chairman, followed by the speeches by the CEOs of all the group companies.

The trainees were rotated in four departments other than their primary department including a compulsory sales stint. This mandatory rotation in sales enabled the trainees to get a hands-on experience in understanding the market...

Spark

The objective of the Spark programme, initiated by GIL in September 2002, was to "train the trainers". The training programme was aimed at equipping the managers to become successful coaches. GIL, in association with a Delhi-based HR consultant, conducted a host of workshops to enable the managers assume the role of a coach...

E-Gyan

E-Gyan was the e-learning initiative of GIL launched in the second half of 2002. It was an attempt to move away from traditional training methods of workshops and help sharpen the intellect of the employees by self- learning initiatives. Initially, Satyam Education Services Ltd was the content provider and rendered the entire gamut of learning resources through its e-learning portal -learnatsatyam.com. Internal communication measures like 'enrolment on a first-come-first-serve basis' and 'be the first e-gyanee' were circulated...

Criticisms

One criticism against the training and development programs at Godrej was that there were no measurement techniques to judge the effectiveness of the programs. For example, no specific measures were developed to determine the extent to which the interpersonal and negotiation skills training aided the employees to develop a more robust business concept...
