    BUILD WITH CONFIDENCE

    Heritage - A Corporate Saga

    ACC was formed in 1936 when ten existing cement companies came together underone umbrella in a historic merger the countrys first notable merger at a time when the

    term mergers and acquisitions was not even coined. The history of ACC spans a widecanvas beginning with the lonely struggle of its pioneer F. E. Din Shaw and other Indianentrepreneurs like him who founded the Indian cement industry. Their efforts to facecompetition for survival in a small but aggressive market mingled with the stirring of acountrys nationalist pride that touched all walks of life including trade, commerce andbusiness.

    The first success came in a move towards cooperation in the countrys young cementindustry and culminated in the historic merger of ten companies to form a cement giant.These companies belonged to four prominent business groups Tatas, Khataus, KillickNixon and F E Dinshaw groups. ACC was formally established on August 1, 1936.

    Sadly, F E Dinshaw, the man recognized as the founder of ACC, died in January 1936.Just months before his dream could be realized.

    A strategic allianceThe house of Tata was intimately associated with the heritage and history of ACC, rightfrom its formation in 1936 upto 2000. Between the years 1999 and 2000, the Tata groupsold all 14.45 per cent of its shareholding in ACC in three stages to subsidiarycompanies of Gujarat Ambuja Cements Ltd (GACL), who are now the largest singleshareholder in ACC. This has enabled ACC to enter into a strategic alliance with GACL;a company reputed for its brand image and cost leadership in the cement industry.

    Holcim - a new partnershipA new association was forged between ACC and the Holcim group of Switzerland in2005. In January 2005, Holcim announced its plans to enter into a long-term strategicalliance with the Ambuja Group by acquiring a majority stake in Ambuja Cements IndiaLtd. (ACIL), which at the time held 13.8 per cent of the total equity shares in ACC.Holcim simultaneously announced its bid to make an open offer to ACC shareholders,through Holcim Cement Pvt. Limited and ACIL, to acquire a majority shareholding in

    ACC. An open offer was made by Holcim Cement Pvt. Limited along with AmbujaCements India Ltd. (ACIL), following which the shareholding of ACIL increased to 34.69per cent of the Equity share capital of ACC. Consequently, ACIL has filed declarations

    indicating their shareholding and declaring itself as a Promoter of ACC.

    Holcim is the world leader in cement as well as being large suppliers of concrete,aggregates and certain construction-related services. Holcim is also a respected namein information technology and research and development. The group has itsheadquarters in Switzerland with worldwide operations spread across more than 70countries. Considering the formidable global presence of Holcim and its excellentreputation, the Board of ACC has welcomed this new association.

    The name of company was changed to ACC Limited from The Associated CementCompanies Limited with effect from September 1, 2006

    New corporate brand identity and logo was adopted from October 15, 2006.

    INTRODUCTION

It is mainly concern with planning,monitoring, and control on human resource. Its aims are to fulfill the managerial needsof human resource of the organization, achieving organizational goals to meet theexpectation of the employees, develop the employees, skill and abilities of theemployees, improve the qualities of working life and manage human resources in anethical and socially responsible manner. Human resource management is responsiblefor the people dimension of the organization

    What is Employee Retention?

    Employee retention refers to the techniques employed by the management to help theemployees stay with the organization for a longer period of time. Employee retention isthe ability of an organization to retain its employees. It helps in motivating theemployees so that they stick to the organization for the maximum time and contributeeffectively. Sincere efforts must be taken to ensure growth and learning for theemployees in their current assignments and for them to enjoy their work. Everyorganization invests time and money to groom a new joinee, make him a corporate

    ready material and bring him at par with the existing employees. The organization iscompletely at loss when the employees leave their job once they are fully trained.Employee retention takes into account the various measures taken so that an individualstays in an organization for the maximum period of time.

    Why do Employees Leave?

    Research says that most of the employees leave an organization out of frustration andconstant friction with their superiors or other team members. In some cases low salary,lack of working environment, lack of growth prospects and motivation compel anemployee to look for a change. The management must try its level best to retain thoseemployees who are really important for the system and are known to be effectivecontributors. It is the responsibility of the line managers as well as the management toensure that the employees are satisfied with their roles and responsibilities and the jobis offering them a new challenge and learning every day.

    Need & Importance of Employee Retention

    1) Hiring is not an easy process: The HR Professional shortlists few individualsfrom a large pool of talent, conducts preliminary interviews and eventuallyforwards it to the respective line managers who further grill them to judgewhether they are fit for the organization or not. Recruiting the right candidate is a

    time consuming process.2) An organization invests time and money in grooming an individual and

    makes him ready to work and understand the corporate culture: A newjoinee is completely raw and the management really has to work hard to train himfor his overall development.

    3) When an individual resigns from his present organization, it is more likelythat he would join the competitors: To avoid such cases, it is essential that thenew joinee is made to sign a document which stops him from passing on anyinformation even if he leaves the organization.

    4) The employees working for a longer period of time are more familiar withthe companys policies, guidelines and thus they adjust better: Employeeswho spend a considerable time in an organization know the organization in andout and thus are in a position to contribute effectively.

    5) Every individual needs time to adjust with others: Organizations are alwaysbenefited when the employees are compatible with each other and discuss thingsamong themselves to come out with something beneficial for all.

    6) It is essential for the organization to retain the valuable employees showing

    potential: Every organization needs hardworking and talented employees whocan really come out with something creative and different. No organization cansurvive if all the top performers quit.

    Challenges to employee retention:

    1) Monetary dissatisfaction is one of the major reasons for an employee tolook for a change: The organization needs to take care of the interests of theother employees as well and cant afford to make them angry. The salaries of the

    individuals working at the same level should be more or less similar to avoidmajor disputes amongst employees.

    2) In the current scenario, where there is no dearth of opportunities, stoppingpeople to look for a change is a big challenge: Employees become greedyfor money and position and thus look forward to changing the present job.

    Page 12

  • 7/29/2019 Final Report on Employee Retention

    13/50

    3) Individuals speak all kind of lies during interviews to get a job: Problemsarise whenever a right person is into a wrong profile. The human resourcedepartment should be very careful while recruiting new employees, checkreference done for better reliability and avoid confusions later.

    4) Some individuals have a tendency to get bored in a short span of time.They might find a job really interesting in the beginning but soon find itmonotonous and look for a change. The management finds it difficult to convincethe employees in such cases. It becomes really difficult for the HR Department tofind out what exactly is going on in the minds of the individual.

    5) Unrealistic expectations from the job also lead to employees looking for achallenge: An individual must be mature enough to understand that one cantget all the comforts at the workplace just like his home. Individuals from differentbackgrounds come together in an organization and minor misunderstandingsmight arise but one should not make an issue out of it.

    Qualities in an Organization for a Better Employee Retention

    1) Monetary satisfaction is one of the major reasons as to why an employeesticks to an organization for a longer duration. Incentive plans, perks andother benefits should meet the expectations of the employees and should bedirectly proportional to the hard work put by the individuals.

    2) An organization must have a simple hierarchy and the functional areas of

    each team should be well defined. Complicated hierarchies lead to confusions

    and unnecessary disputes amongst team members. It is essential to maintaintransparency at all levels.

    3) Freedom of expression is of utmost importance at the workplace to retain

    employees. Individuals should have the liberty to express their ideas anddiscuss issues on an open forum. This way employee do not crib amongthemselves and come closer to each other.

    4) The organization must encourage employees to celebrate major festivals

    at the office premises itself. Ask them to bring their families as well. Suchactivities go a long way in strengthening the bond among the individuals and

    retaining them.

    5) It is important for the organization to have stringent policies for nonperforming employees. Strict action must be taken against those who come toorganization just for fun and are just not bothered about their own work. Theperformers must get an extra edge and should be entitled to exclusive benefits.

    LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

    Time was among the most critical limitation of this study. This whole study is

    done within a small time period of 6 weeks.

    This study is done at only one plant of ACC i.e. Gagal Cement Works, Barmana.

    So the results cannot be associated fully with whole organization.

    Due to different shifts of working of employees, whole management staff could

    not be covered in this study.

    Most employees hesitated to fill the questionnaire as they feared that their

    identity would be disclosed.

    Some employees refused to fill the questionnaire as they were busy and couldnt

    give their time to us to provide information.

    25/50

    About 7% feels excellent where 66% of employees feel that the long service

    awards given to them were good. However 24% of them say that these were

    dissatisfied. This may be due to the fact that they feel that there should be

    something extra (increment or promotion) associated with the long service

    awards.

    Most of the employees were in the favor that the housing facilities being provided

    to them were good & they were satisfied by those. However a small percentage of

    people do not think that the housing facilities were not up to the mark. This may

    be because of perceived difference of standard of housing facilities for senior

    managers & other employees.

    About 76% of employees presume the satisfactory level of medical facilities being

    provided to them. However 24 % of employees do feel that the medical facilities at

    GCW was not not good. This was subjected to the reason of unavailability of all

    30/50

    About 79% of employees think that the co-operative store opened for ACC

    employees was good. However the rest dont feel like that. This may be due to

    less manpower at the co-operative store which results in rush every time there.

    Also, only confectionary items can bought in the store. For buying other things

    like clothes, home appliances etc. employees have to depend on other market.

    About 70 % of respondent employees feel that the newly opened Marriage &

    Community Centre in ACC colony was good. However the rest 26% rate it as

    average. As the reason for the satisfied employees opinion may be the non-

    availability of such facility earlier. At that time they had to make the arrangements

    somewhere else (in outside hotels etc.) for different occasions. The reason

    behind the opinion of the rest may be that they want more good facilities inside

    the Marriage & Community Centre e.g. facility of Cooks, Servants, Helpers or

    marriage bureau etc.

    Areas Of Improvement

    The possible areas of improvement for ACC are:

    1) JOB ROTATION: -By doing this, employees will feel that their job is challenging & they dont feelbored. Also as it includes learning new things every day, employees improvethemselves day by day.

    2) ROLE PLAYING OPPORTUNITIES: -As we have concluded in research that few unsatisfied employees dont care

    about the job security they get in ACC. So they should be offered something new& unique which may motivate them at work otherwise they will leave theorganization.

    3) Role clarity should be there: -Each & every employee should know that what work he has to do. As presumedby an employee there is no role clarity in the organization.

    4) Transparency in promotion system: -There should be clear transfer of information for criteria of promotion in theorganization.

    5) Revision of salary:-As the attrition rate of ACC is increasing, new recruitments are being made. Butthese new comers dont find their salary in ACC as competitive to what othercompanies offer at same post. So to retain these new comers, salary structureshould be revised after particular time periods.

    Few other strategies that can be used for motivating employees to work can be:-

    Wedding Day Gift:

    It is a very simple but very effective strategy to make employees feel that theyare a very important part of the organization.

    Birthday Reminders:

    This includes feeding of employees date of birth as a reminder which cansnooze on the computer of all the employees & tell that today is someonesbirthday so that they can wish him. He feels that he is also having some value in
