The company’s inherent potential with its strong performance over the
years, has resulted in it being chosen as one of the “Navratna” PSEs.
• A systematic method of aligning individual and team objectives with company targets has been ensured
through the implementation of balanced scorecard and the e-map performance cycle.
• The balanced scorecard includes financial measures and those measures that drive financial performance,
namely customer, business process (internal), and learning and growth (skills and advantage). Balanced
scorecard helps in evaluation and monitoring of performance on the above four parameters.
• It is a powerful framework to help organizations rapidly implement strategy by translating the vision and
strategy into a set of operational objectives that can drive behavior, and therefore performance.
2. Online performance planning
• Online performance planning is an essential foundation of the overall program. The performance plan sets
the stage for individual career success as well as organizational success.
• Each departmental head sets performance expectations and goals for individuals. Employees need periodic
feedback to check their performance.
• Hence, employees at all levels are responsible for actively communicating with their supervisors about
their performance, while supervisors ensure that employees have the tools, resources and training and
development needed to carry out their responsibilities successfully.
3. Performance counseling and final review
• The ultimate objective of the organization is to achieve success. It is the supervisor’s role to continuously
track and improve performance through feedback to help individuals reach their targets.
• Having an effective performance counseling program is a vital part of the overall talent management
system. When poor performance is identified, counselor and supervisor make a plan with the identified
employee and provide the support and training needed.
• Counseling has been made compulsory for every engineer trainee/executive trainee since the year 2008-
2009. Counseling is provided by the direct supervisor.
4. Reward
• A proper balance between evaluation of present performance and the reward system within the
organization helps the employee remain motivated towards attaining personal and organizational goals.
• Departmental heads and direct supervisors are responsible for deciding appropriate rewards for their
employees. The organization aims to reinforce effective work behavior by determining and allocating
equitable and appropriate rewards. In this sense, retention becomes the strategy rather than the outcome.
HR strategies in e-commerce industry
The role of HR in the e-commerce sector is best described in terms of agility,
quirkiness and thinking out of the box when it comes to hiring, retention and
rewards and recognition policies.
• E-commerce business is on the rise, as online shopping is predicted to
increase by 45% .To stay ahead of the game or to grow an online business,
one needs to benchmark against the latest growth rates, both for overall
business in a category for specific devices and then implement marketing
strategies and tactics that work to achieve business goals.
• E-commerce technologies are changing the way work tasks are conducted
and thus have significant implications for the way organizations manage their
human resource functions.
Strategies :
• When a business first chooses to actualize e-business methodologies and
operations, it regularly utilizes the personnel it has for doing so. However, as
the strategy increases in magnitude, the organization will need to change in
order to create a more efficient and productive organizational restructuring
for maximum desired results. In doing as such, the human resource for the
organization can turn out to be critically imperative to achievement.
• Using the learning of SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) to help train other
representatives is an incredible approach to augment assets and expand
aptitudes limit through broadly educating endeavors. For eg., the Snapdeal
Academy has trained 2,400 employees over the last few months in
behavioral and functional skills crafted for each level.
• Staff pros with e-business learning and experience can be popular with the
huge number of transitioning organizations, it turns into a test for
organizations to retain skilled people. It can likewise turn out to be extremely
costly as experts usually demand hefty salaries.
• Human resource departments need to establish a sense of collaboration and
commonality among whatever system or combination of systems is
chosen. This can be done by not only making roles challenging and
stimulating, but also by sharing skills and cross training employees.
• HR in the e-commerce sector has to be always on their toes. The e-commerce
industry works 24x7, 365 days, which means that the workforce is on the job
round the clock. In such a scenario, HR in this sector is no longer defined by
pre-determined office hours. Since the employees in e-commerce work round
the clock, it is the duty of HR to support them with everything that keeps them
motivated.

India's GDP from 1.2% in 1998 to 7.5% in 2012.

as they operate in highly regulated environment.

revised from last 12 years.
• One can also get promoted upto ED level without interview.

training today . Organizations know that they must have the best talent in order to succeed in the
