ACC has a large workforce of
about 9,000 people, comprising experts in various
disciplines assisted by a dedicated workforce
of skilled persons. ACC employees, referred
to as the ACC Parivar, come from all parts of
the country and belonging to a variety of ethnic,
cultural and religious backgrounds. ACC employees
display a strong sense of loyalty to the Company
and their special stellar qualities as ‘value-adding’
human capital are well known in the industry.
ACC has clearly stated guidelines
concerning recruitment, termination, career
advancement, performance appraisal, professional
and employee ethics and code of conduct. The
Company’s personnel policies and processes
enshrine equal opportunities to all and non-discrimination
with regard to gender, caste, creed, ideology
or other opinion, whether social, political
or religious. Also ensured is a due process
for employee consultation and participation
in organizational development and policy formulation.
Recruitment
Recruitment in ACC is a very fair and transparent
process with adequate opportunities to look
for suitable candidates internally as well as
from outside. Applicants are generally invited
on the basis of specific advertisements in newspapers
and websites. A Committee of officers called
the Central Recruitment Committee handles the
entire recruitment process comprising screening
of applications, preliminary short-listing,
interviews and final selection. Every attempt
is made to make the selection process as objective
as possible by incorporating tests of competence.
In some cases, outside consultants are retained.
All decisions of the recruitment committee are
recorded in respect of each candidate. Candidates
are informed of their short-listing and selection
immediately after the interview or at the earliest
thereafter.

Training & Development
Our new Performance Management System incorporates
a process called Competency Assessment and Training
and Developmental Needs wherein appraisers are
specifically called upon to identify and assess
training needs of employees at specific intervals
that do not coincide with Performance Appraisals.
This is so that training needs can be assessed
objectively. Training is imparted to take care
of an individual’s career development
as well as functional and skill enhancement.
Competency and Development training inputs include
Skill and general performance enhancement, communication
skills and Career development. Functional training
needs are identified and conducted by functional
departments while Corporate HR organizes competency
and developmental inputs.

Employee welfare & perquisites
Employee welfare receives prime attention at
ACC. We have several schemes for general welfare
of employees and their families. These cover
education, healthcare, retirement benefits,
loans and financial assistance and recreation
facilities.
ACC townships have excellent
schools that are often the best in the district.
Education at these schools is subsidized for
employees’ wards. We offer attractive
scholarship allowances for children studying
at places away from their parents, merit scholarships
for outstanding children and financial assistance
for employees’ children to pursue higher
professional education.
Liberal medical benefits are
made available to employees and their family
members by way of reimbursements towards normal
medical treatment, domiciliary treatments and
special sanctions for serious illness. Each
of our townships has well-equipped health care
centres with qualified medical staff and facilities,
ambulance, referrals and tie-ups with reputed
hospitals for specialised treatment. In addition,
there are regular health checkups, camps and
programmes.
Employees are eligible to apply
for loans and financial assistance for various
purposes such as purchase of assets, residential
premises as well as a scheme that provides for
supply of cement at subsidized rates to those
building their own houses.
At our cement plants and factories,
employees are provided furnished and unfurnished
accommodation based on their entitlements. At
many locations, the employees are given free
electricity, free water supply and free bus
facility for nearby places and schools. These
houses are well-maintained and periodically
upgraded.

Employee Satisfaction
In addition to periodic internal Employee Satisfaction Surveys, we participate in Employee Satisfaction and Work Places Surveys conducted by reputed external agencies and organisations like Hewitt Associates Grow Talent. And from time to time, ACC has also retained reputed firms to study our internal work environment and employee policies and suggest areas of improvement. We share below salient points of the latest survey of employees:
- People are treated fairly regardless of religion and gender
- ACC is a safe place to work
- Management is competent in running business
- Employees feel good about what we do for society
- Proud to tell others I work here
- Management thinks positively
The overall findings show significant job satisfaction at all levels as also deep respect for the company, its performance management system and its overall business performance.
