Outline of HR Department

Kaza decided to introduce a whistle-blower policy two years ago, and felt the need for a uniform code understood by employees worldwide.

Policy has resulted in a vigilant employee force where everyone is accountable.

Transparency helps companies to redefine processes and make improvements.

Message To Employees:

“We care about you, we are with you and you are not at the mercy of anyone in the organization.”

WHISTLE BLOWING POLICY

Need of HR specialized employees in Lupin Limited can be felt through this:

Issue: Most individuals, after a few years of experience in the research area, leave jobs to pursue further studies in order to secure a PhD.

Solution:

Enabling a PhD degree for them while concurrently working within the company definitely serves as a retention tool in the long term.

Introduction of the PhD program at the Lupin Research Park.

Issue: Learning more and more is the need of an hour for a scientist.

Solution: Building learning as an organisational value has helped Lupin achieve the same with greater ease, as this quality percolates to everyone.

An additional emphasis is laid on providing opportunities for academic learning and participation in seminars etc.

Some Issues & their Solutions:

Extracting Benefits from PhD Programmes:

Lupin's PhD programme also works as a more productive way of deploying assets as it finds a “Congruence between the interests of the employee, company and the university.”

Considering that all our researchers are in the domains we are operational in, their PhDs are also in the areas of our interest, and thus in turn help benefit one and all in this association.

As it is a Lupin initiative, the Intellectual Property (IP) generated out of the collaboration will be owned by Lupin, thus adding to the Return on investment (RoI) of such industry-academia partnerships.

Thank You…..
