2. Case in Point:
Company Overview
The case in point is a leading India based automation service provider that focuses on E-
Commerce,retail,warehousing,logistic, courier and parcel, food& FMCG, pharmaceutical& automobile
sectors. The organization in their 12 years of existence have developed a wide portfolio of innovative
products and solutions.The company has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and
continues to be the preferred partner in their growth story. It strives to continuously excel and improve
on its key pillars of industrial domain expertise, strong technology stack never stopping innovation,
stake holder transparency and solution flexibility. From the humble beginning, the organization has seen
an appreciable growth in the industry and today, the company stands as one of the leading automation
service provider of India.
Reason for Focus on HR
With the growth base already set and future well in sight, the management started feeling increasing
pressure for better and more robust processes. In light of this renewed focus, the company faced
challenges in achieving shared goal and vision and leading to inadequate employee engagement,
satisfaction, coordination and many other aspects of operations that are people dependent.It was
clearly verbalized by the top management and especially at the pace of growth of company, that the
human aspect of business is increasingly becoming a roadblock and needs immediate attention. Some
key symptoms that led to management attention were:
 High Employee turnover ratio
 Communication Gaps between departments (despite being a small entity)
 Performance lacunae arising on regular basis
 Company’s reputation coming under scanner for inadequate servicing capability

It is considered that it is the responsibility of the administration and the manager in the organisation to
keep the employees motivated .But this is easier said than done. With the changing scenario, increasing
competitiveness and high pressure to achieve growth and strategic goals, the administration and
managers within the organisation find themselves more or less lagging behind in facilitating their
employees towards healthy mindset and in creating a better atmosphere in the work place.
