| It is the human faculty which has engineered innumerable inventions, discoveries and explorations around us. They possess the rationale and ability to dig into the depths of uncertainty to unearth the certain, from the creation of the Seven Wonders of the World to reaching the moon or mapping the DNA structure of a human body. This ingenuity of men has taken them to unattainable heights and unfamiliar frontiers.
Similarly, an organization functions with the concerted efforts of its employees who not only create the blueprint for its growth, but also map the organizations success.
Our employees are the most valued assets for Torrent. Hence, ample care is taken to recruit people who not only possess the will to win but also to go the extra mile to achieve it. This desire in them is channelised by offering to them truly challenging activities and strongly motivating and professionally enthusing projects. Those who excel in their respective fields by sheer grit and hard work are rewarded by way of felicitating them with the 'Torrentian Award' every year.
At Torrent efforts are also made to hone the employees skills further by way of organizing training programs, workshops etc. Apart from this employees are encouraged to participate in various seminars, conferences and discussions within and outside the organization. This not only helps them individually but also provides a handy knowledge base for the Company to be aware of the latest developments in the areas of concern for them.
The most important step in this regard has been enabling the employees in being up-to-date in their fields of specializations by sponsoring them for external training. Round the year the employees are nominated for training and development programs to the premiere training institutes such as IIM (Lucknow), ASCI (Hyderabad), and Tata Memorial Training Centre (Pune). Initiatives such as customized training program exclusively for our employees at IIM (Ahmedabad) have also been taken up. Torrent has also sponsored its senior executives for overseas training to gain an international perspective in research and development and other areas of work as well. Torrent aims at encouraging the field staff with personality development, knowledge enhancement training at the best institutes in the country such as EDI (Entrepreneurial Development Institute). Some of the other initiatives include sponsoring basic computer training and technical knowledge improvement workshops for the field staff of all the divisions. The scientists at the research centre have also been provided ample training opportunities through workshops not only for improving their professional acumen but personality development as well. The senior executives also participate in the workshop annually, known to all as the 'Mid Term Meet', where strategies, policies and agendas are delved upon informally.
