Employee Engagement

An engaged workforce is vital for organisational success. Our employee engagement strategy fosters a positive, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and inspired to perform their best. Through transparent communication, recognition and a strong sense of belonging, we aim to enhance commitment and workplace satisfaction. By prioritising people, we establish a workplace where engagement is a collective experience.

Culture Workshops

To strengthen our culture, we held workshops to embrace essential cultural elements for growth and success. These sessions encouraged open reflection, helping us identify areas for improvement and promote a positive, inclusive environment. Senior leaders participated actively, engaging in discussions and collaborative activities to define core values and practices for an empowering workplace. This diverse involvement offered a broad perspective, enhancing our understanding of the culture we aim to cultivate.

Leadership Mirror

We believe continuous development is key to a high-performance culture. Leadership Mirror, our 360-degree feedback programme, provides holistic insights to support leadership growth and selfawareness. By gathering feedback from peers, team members and managers, over 180 leaders received well-rounded input to align behaviours with organisational values, enhance effectiveness and identify development areas.

The initiative promotes a culture of open feedback, empowering leaders to take ownership of their growth while strengthening agility, accountability and impact across the organisation.

Celebrating our People

A dedicated and motivated team is essential for organisational success. We build a supportive, inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and connected. Through open dialogue, recognition, and community-building, we inspire employees to excel and create a workplace where everyone feels a sense of purpose and belonging, enabling personal and professional growth.

We achieve this through initiatives like leadership conversations, recognition programs, and continuous learning. We prioritise local engagement and cultural connection, celebrating milestones and promoting well-being to encourage participation and empowerment. These efforts foster a culture of connection, collaboration, and shared success.

Our Rewards and Recognition (R&R) Framework

Criteria for R&R

• Demonstration of I-POWER values
• Superior employee performance in the quarter

Performance Management System

We have enhanced our Performance Management System to make it more impactful, employee-friendly and aligned with organisational objectives. The revised framework includes critical elements that improve clarity, consistency and ease of execution, helping employees better understand expectations and focus on meaningful outcomes.

To make performance management more effective and meaningful, we have introduced several enhancements aimed at improving employee experience, clarity and developmental impact:

Performance Conversations

• Encouraging proactive dialogues between employees and managers to strengthen engagement and drive productivity

Recognition of Key Achievements

• Capturing critical performance moments throughout the year, including R&R, realtime feedback (Green Dot/Black Dot) and other milestone acknowledgements

Structured Documentation

• Promoting a habit of recording performance discussions to track progress, identify key takeaways and inform future development conversations

Skill Development & E-Learning Integration

• Allowing managers to assign relevant development areas linked to curated courses on the iLEARN platform, supporting continuous capability building

Appraisal Skills Training

• Delivering targeted training for managers and employees to ensure performance reviews are constructive, fair and forward-looking

Health, Safety and Well-being

We have introduced comprehensive benefits to support the professional and personal well-being of our employees, who are the driving force behind our success. Our health insurance plans provide peace of mind while our retirement schemes are designed to secure their future long after their tenure with us.

These programmes aim to set a benchmark for occupational health and safety (OHS) by implementing an OHS Management System in line with ISO 45001:2018 standards. The system has been rolled out across our key manufacturing facilities in Halol and Daman. The programmes encompass a wide range of topics, including work ethics, health and safety training, quality systems, HR policies and practices, environmental awareness, fire safety and evacuation drills, the prevention of sexual harassment and the critical importance of safety tools and kits. We also prioritise accident preparedness and encourage the proactive reporting of potential hazards.

Mental Health Awareness Programme

We recognise that mental health is as important as physical health, yet often less visible and addressed. To bridge this gap, we launched a Mental Health Awareness Programme to help employees and workers better understand the importance of emotional and mental well-being.

The initiative began with leadership-level commitment, ensuring that mental health is acknowledged as a key factor in overall workplace effectiveness. Awareness sessions were held across locations to highlight how mental well-being impacts both professional performance and personal life.

By promoting open dialogue and education, we aim to build a workplace where mental health is supported, productivity is enhanced and people feel empowered to seek help when needed.

Continual Health Assessment and Improvement Programme

We launched a health initiative aimed at supporting the well-being of every employee and worker. This programme involved a comprehensive set of medical tests, ensuring thorough health check-up across all locations in Halol. The tests included:

• Complete Blood Count, Random Blood Sugar, Urine RM
• Serum Creatinine, SGPT, Cholesterol
• Pulmonary Function Test, Audiometry, ECG, X-Ray Chest
• Eye test and a full physical examination by a doctor

All employees underwent tests and follow-up actions were initiated to ensure appropriate care and ongoing support.

Monthly Safety Audits

Our HSE team led the implementation of monthly safety audits across all manufacturing units, intending to standardise safety practices, strengthen shop floor discipline and build a proactive safety culture.

• Each month featured a dedicated safety theme with a tailored checklist.
• Audits were conducted across all production sites to assess and improve adherence to health, safety and environmental protocols.
• Safety scores were directly linked to employee KRAs and KPIs, ensuring accountability and timely resolution of action items.
• A unified checklist helped maintain consistent safety standards across locations, enhancing regulatory compliance and hazard mitigation.

Awareness Drives for a Safer Workplace

Strengthening safety culture on the shop floor has been a key focus, aligned closely with our OHSE Policy. Over the year, a series of awareness initiatives were conducted to enhance understanding of health, safety and environmental practices, while reinforcing the leadership message of ‘I Care’.

Observances such as National Safety Week, Road Safety Week, Fire Safety Week and World Environment Day created opportunities to engage employees in safety-first thinking. Activities like badge distribution and sweet sharing helped build a sense of positivity and inclusion around these themes.

Interactive events, including mural painting competitions on HSE topics, as well as hands-on exercises like the ‘Walk with Fire Extinguishers’ and ‘3 Men Hose Drill’, offered valuable emergency preparedness learning in an engaging format. These initiatives have played a key role in creating a proactive safety mindset, rooted in awareness, participation and shared responsibility.

Human Rights

Ethical behaviour is at the core of our operations, as outlined in our Code of Conduct. It emphasises respect for human rights and ensures fair treatment of individuals at all levels.

Our efforts to promote human rights extend beyond the organisation and reach out to our supply chain partners as well. We actively work to eliminate discrimination, prevent harassment and eradicate all forms of exploitation. By adhering to these principles, we foster an environment where trust, accountability and social responsibility are fundamental to our corporate ethos.
