EMPLOYEES
To say that, good talent is a necessary condition for success across each of the triple bottom-lines, is like repeating a well-known truth. The key lies in how well one executes what is universally known to be fundamentally right.
This collaborative approach ensures a tighter fit among talent, job profile, expectations and delivery. Integral to this purpose led employment is a culture that respects individual needs and ambitions, fosters a high standard of living and encourages work-life balance.
At Arvind, talent management strategies are developed
in alignment with business strategy, rather than in response to it.
