Mukesh Ambani is celebrating careers, listening to his employees

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries wants to retain talent by motivating its employees.

To engage its staff, Reliance is celebrating careers and recognising achievements too.

The programme of 'Celebrate Careers' will also recognise best practices of employees, rewarding them and celebrating their career.

"Our R-HR (Reliance-Human Resource) Transformation journey has picked up phenomenal pace in the last one year," said Hital Meswani, Ambani's key executive and executive director on RIL board.

R-Voice, a radio engagement programme for employees to voice their opinion, was also launched in a bid to become a “listening organisation".

"The participation rate of 81 per cent confirmed your unwavering support in helping Reliance gain insights into what our colleagues are thinking and feeling - what is working well and where we need to focus our attention on engaging you better," wrote Meswani in a note to employees.

"Following R-Radio, we will continue to support our leaders and managers with two additional tools to help them develop people management skills. These learning tools include suggested courses and articles on employee engagement and a communication playbook that will provide practical approaches for enhancing communications within teams," he added.

Ty Brown, MD India, OC Tanner, said, "Any transformation needs time. We understand and see Reliance taking some steps in the right direction. Appreciation is the most underutilised leadership lever, but cost-effective too.”
