HR PRACTICES OF TATA
What is human resource management?
It is the procurement, development, compensation, integration and maintenance of personnel of an organization for the purpose of contributing towards the accomplishment of the organizations goals and objectives
What do you mean by HR practices of a company?
The HR practices of a company should have a definite through policies…. And they should know how to outsource the human resource of a company

Tata Motors has aspirations for a future that will be more
global and more competitive, where customer expectations will
be quite different from what we have seen all these years. It is
a future where our employee demographics will be much
altered from what it is now?
In late 2010 we articulated a five-year human capital strategy
for our company. It is not an HR function strategy but a human
capital strategy, and it has been co-created and coowned by
the leadership. There are near- and long-term agendas. The
past 12 months have not been a particularly As a part of its
vision for transformation, Tata Motors has articulated a human
capital strategy that sets a five-year road map for the
8
company’s HR agenda. Speaking with Sangeeta Menon, the
company’s chief human resources officer, Prabir Jha, looks back
at the company’s HR journey thus far and spells out the
challenges of the future. ‘Employees are our capital and our job
is to grow that’ COVER STORY April 2013 n Tata Review 11 easy
period for the company. So, how we manage costs, productivity
and talent is going to be the near-term HR challenge. The long-
term agenda will be different, given the context of the new
culture that we have envisioned. We have reframed the vision
and mission for Tata Motors and defined the kind of culture we
need to create given the new challenges. Building that culture
is easier said than done because it means that all HR sub-
systems must be reoriented to be in line with the new culture.
Culture reinvention along the ‘Aces’ path (accountability,
customer, excellence and speed) is going to be an HR priority
and it will have a huge change management component.
Another focus area is managing talent and leadership. A
company’s success eventually depends on talent across all
levels, with the right skills, the right engagement and the right
9
kind of diversity. How is the human ‘capital’ approach different
from the traditional human resources approach? Employees are
our capital and our job is to grow that capital. The term human
capital signifies that it is not just the HR function’s job to
manage this resource, but it is the leadership’s job as well. For
very long people in many companies have erroneously believed
that human asset management is part of the HR function’s
agenda.
But the truth is that while human capital strategy is enabled
and facilitated by the HR function, it is actually owned by
leadership and management across levels. HR is no doubt the
functional expert, but the deployment ultimately lies in the
hands of line managers. The so-called gap between line
managers and HR must end. One cannot be a great line
manager unless one is a great people manager. That’s why the
shift from an HR function strategy to a human capital strategy.
A lot of our HR processes and systems are being revisited
towards this end. Building positive recognition for our Aces
culture rests on our belief in positive psychology. Our ‘Pact’
10
(performance and coaching tool) initiative is anchored in the
philosophy that managers must move away from thinking of
themselves as bosses to thinking of themselves as coaches. We
have workshops and simulations to make sure that line
managers start embracing this approach. The new
individualized compensation policy puts a lot of responsibility in
the hands of line managers. A significant part of our
performance measurement, talent management and
assessment criteria today are about using hardwired HR
processes to support what is really a soft cultural transition.
Finally, we have built high-level branding around various HR
interventions to ensure excitement, passion and ownership.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
New candidates who join an organization are given training. This training familiarizes them with the organizational mission, vision, rules and regulations and the working conditions.
The existing employees are trained to refresh and enhance their knowledge.
If any updates take place in technology, training is given to cope up with those changes. For instance, purchasing new equipment, changes in technique of production, computer impartment. The employees are trained about use of new equipment and work methods.
When promotion and career growth becomes important training is given so that employees are prepared to share the responsibilities of the higher level job
12
Grooming the managers of today into the leaders of tomorrow that's the broad objective of the Tata group's leadership development programs and training processes.
The group's high-value, superior-quality training interventions are targeted at maximizing the potential of its pool of managers. This is done by encouraging their cross-functional exposure and by making cross-company mobility an integral aspect of all leadership development efforts.
13
The Tata group's commitment to enhance the knowledge and leadership quotient of its people has resulted in the establishment of various Development and Training Programs such as TAS and TMTC.
Set up by JRD Tata in 1959 with the mission of creating and grooming leaders for the future.
It aims to provide training to high performers within the group and act as a catalyst of change for Tata executives.

EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND SECURITY
Safety is of paramount importance to the Company. All
employees at Tata Motors are provided with safety training as
part of the induction programme. The safety induction
programme is also a critical requirement for contract workforce
before they are inducted into the system. The Company has a
structured safety training agenda on an on-going basis to build
a culture of safety across its workforce.
The Company believes in continual learning of its employees
and has institutionalized a continual learning model for skill up
gradation, especially at the shop-floor level. The learning and
development needs of management cadre employees are met
through the Company’s L&D structure which includes various
training delivery mechanisms.
The Tata Motors Group employs over 59,000 people. Our
people are as diverse as our organisation, because they come
from various nationalities and ethnicities, have a wide range of
skill sets, knowledge and experience levels. This diversity
17
facilitates debate, dialogue and fresh perspectives, and ingrains
a lateral thinking mindset across the organisation.
Tata Motors believes in
a progressive people culture. We ensure that a judicious mix of
people is maintained in our workforce. This is achieved through
hiring multi-skilled people both from within the automobile
industry and from other sectors. In addition, a regular and
consistent recruitment programme at engineering and
management institutes ensures a steady stream of high quality
people getting inducted to fuel the growth plans. We also have
ongoing partnerships with Industrial Training Institutes, besides
our own professional training centres, to recruit shop-floor
workforce.
A clearly defined HR strategy
is based on the premise that people drive annual performance,
(a short-term goal), and also strengthen long-term
organisational objectives. Programmes like mini-assessments
and the Fast Track Selection Scheme (FTSS) ensure that talent is
spotted early and given an opportunity to mature into leaders.
18
Capability development,
spearheaded by the Tata Motors Academy, has enabled
knowledge-sharing through initiatives, such as Learning
Management Systems (LMS) and iTech. The former allows
employees to take ownership of knowledge accretion, while
the latter provides a platform for senior management to share
their expertise.
Enablers, such as the 'One Tata Motors' culture, leverage
interdepartmental synergies. Therefore, greater opportunities
to learn from and contribute to the organisation are created.
Combined with a rearticulated compensation philosophy and
reworked variable pay plan, these initiatives ensure that Tata
Motors remains performance-oriented and talent-driven.
To drive and support our
business growth, we have increased our total workforce to
nearly 23,000 people at Jaguar Land Rover. We recruited over
6,200 Salaried, Hourly and Agency workers during the course of
the year (including the highest ever intake of over 330 graduate
trainees). Jaguar Land Rover is recognised as a preferred
19
employer in the UK. Increasing numbers of International Service
assignments have commenced to support global operations,
and a new National Sales Company has been established in
China.
We work hard to retain our
talented staff, and during the year our employee turnover rate
remained low at 1.8% for the salaried population and 0.9% for
the hourly population. Relationships with employees and their
representatives remain positive and constructive, with no
strikes. The 2011-12 Employee Engagement Survey was
extended to all hourly paid employees for the first time this
year, and employee satisfaction rates for salaried employees
rose to an all-time high of 65%, from 57% in the previous year.
An extended working week was introduced, with 58% of
salaried staff opting to extend their working hours.
Human resources planning is a process that identifies current
and future human resources needs for an organization to
achieve its goals. Human resources planning should serve as a
link between human resources management and the overall
20
strategic plan of an organization. Aging worker populations in
most western countries and growing demands for qualified
workers in developing economies have underscored the
importance of effective Human Resources Planning.
As defined by Bulla and Scott, human resource planning is ‘the
process for ensuring that the human resource requirements of
an organization are identified and plans are made for satisfying
those requirements’. Reilly defined workforce planning as: ‘A
process in which an organization attempts to estimate the
demand for labour and evaluate the size, nature and sources of
supply which will be required to meet the demand. Human
resource planning includes creating an employer brand,
retention strategy, absence management strategy, flexibility
strategy, talent management strategy.
Strategic HRM defines the
organization’s intentions and plans on how its business goals
should be achieved through people. It is based on three
propositions: first, that human capital is a major source of
21
competitive advantage; second, that it is people who
implement the strategic plan; and, third, that a systematic
approach should be adapted to defining where the organization
wants to go and how it should get there. Strategic HRM is a
process that involves the use of overarching approaches to the
development of HR strategies, which are integrated vertically
with the business strategy and horizontally with another.
These strategies define intentions and
plans related to overall organizational considerations, such as
organizational effectiveness, and to more specific aspects of
people management, such as resourcing, learning and
development, reward and employee relations.

THE CODE OF ETHICS IN TATA MOTORS
Commitment to ethical professional conduct is a MUST for every employee at TATA- in all of its businesses/ units/ subsidiaries. The code is intended to serve as a basis for ethical decision making in the conduct of professional work. Contribute to society and human well-being this principle concerning the quality of life of all people affirms an obligation to protect fundamental human rights and to respect the diversity of all cultures. So employee in TATA attempts to ensure that the products of their efforts will be used in socially responsible ways, will meet social needs and will avoid harmful effects to health and welfare of others. In addition to a safe social environment, human well-being includes a safe natural environment. Therefore, all who are accountable for the design, development, manufacture and promotion of TATA products, must be alert to, and make others aware of, any potential damage to the local or global environment. Avoid harm to others "Harm" means injury or negative consequences, such as loss of property, property damage or unwanted health and environmental impacts. This principle prohibits use of men, material and technology in ways that result in harm to our consumers, employees and the general public. Well-intended actions, including those that accomplish assigned duties, may
28
lead to harm unexpectedly. In such an event, the responsible person or persons are obligated to undo or mitigate the negative consequences as much as possible.
Be honest and trustworthy:
Honesty is an essential component of trust. Without trust an organization cannot function effectively. So they are expected not to make deliberately false or deceptive claims about their products/systems, but instead provide full disclosure of all pertinent limitations and problems be fair and take action not to discriminate. The values of equality, tolerance, respect for others, and the principles of equal justice govern this imperative. Discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, age, disability, national origin, or other such factors is an explicit violation of this code. Practice integrity in our inter-personal relationships. In their relationships with colleagues, all should treat them with respect and in good faith; in the same way we ourselves would expect them to treat us. The principle to be adopted to guard against loose talk or in its worst form- character assassination- is not to say anything behind one’s back and never utter something, which cannot be put in writing. Honor confidentiality the principle of honesty extends to issues of confidentiality of information. The ethical concern
