The benefit of a mature business organisation with 65 years of operational excellence is that there are several good systems in place. From a prospective employee point of view, Blue Star offers the following advantages:
- There are well designed induction and technical orientation programmes. There is a Corporate Technical Training Organisation which delivers a variety of technical training programmes for the AC&R business. Engineers who join the Electronics Division get a chance to go abroad for training with the Principals. The Corporate HR runs a menu of non-technical soft skills training programmes such as Business Communication Skills and Business Etiquette.
- The Company has many well designed, time tested HR practices such as setting the performance objectives at the beginning of the year, reviewing employee performance every year through an annual appraisal system and an annual compensation review based on market surveys. In addition to a market aligned salary structure, Blue Star also has a fairly attractive incentive scheme wherein, the employee gets an incentive based on his department’s performance coupled with his own performance rating.
- Typically, graduate engineers can look forward to entering real managerial grades within 4 to 5 years. Once an employee enters the managerial grade, he is exposed to a variety of management education programmes including some programmes at IIM. Ahmedabad.
- Last, but not the least, Blue Star rightly boasts of the Blue Star Way, which is founded on a set of values and beliefs which have evolved over time. These beliefs have made Blue Star a highly respected, secular organisation. The Company has an excellent track record of employees working for many decades with the Company. In today’s high attrition market, the Company continues to enjoy the privilege of retaining many of its employees for many decades, thanks to its positive work culture.
