SAIL chief asks employees to cut down delays

Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) chairman P.K. Singh has asked employees to cut down on delays and finish pending projects at the earliest. Singh said this while interacting with a cross section of over 600 plant employees at the company’s steel plant in Bokaro this week. He apprised the employees about challenges in front of the company and ways to mitigate the same. He articulated the expectation from Bokaro which has “tremendous potential to maximise profits”. Bokaro has excellent facilities and modernised mills, including the recently commissioned new state-of-the-art Cold Rolling Mill. During the interaction, Singh said: “In the current competitive environment, we have to put our best foot forward and operate at our rated capacities. We need to cut down on delays and finish any pending projects immediately. There should be no lapse or gaps in our performance as a small slip also will hurt the overall performance.” Singh was accompanied by SAIL’s Director (Finance) Anil Chaudhary, Director (Technical) Raman and Director (Commercial) Soma Mondal and CEO Bokaro Steel Limited Pawan Kumar Singh. The interaction of SAIL’s top management with a cross-section of employees of various management levels was aimed at conveying the company’s top priorities and identifying the main issues at the plant level. The company’s top management believes that such large group interactions create an open platform for employees to understand the organisation’s long-term vision, immediate goals and current challenges, and, at the same time, paves the way for a two way communication at all levels bettering the performance. These initiatives are part of SAIL’s efforts to accelerate the company’s transformation and improve the overall performance at the earliest.
