A pat on the back of an employee for a job well done will do wonders. It is exactly what is happening in Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), the State-owned mining company.

Company calls upon staff to strive for 1% growth in production

Khammam: A pat on the back of an employee for a job well done will do wonders. It is exactly what is happening in Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), the State-owned mining company. The SCCL management seems to have understood that although the hike in pay and other incentives play a significant role in motivating the employees, they are not enough on a day-to-day basis.

At a time when the company is walking a tightrope due to widening gap between the production costs of the coal and its pricing in the open market, the management has come up with a ‘One Per cent’ slogan recently asking its employees to step up at least one per cent production so that the company’s losses could be reduced massively. According to SCCL management’s estimate, the ‘One Per cent’ difference could save the company a whopping Rs 26 crore per annum.

Setting a target of producing 60.03 million tonnes of coal during the 2015-16 fiscal, the company constituted ‘multi-departmental teams’ to spread this message to its 60,000 employees working in coal mines across four districts – Khammam, Warangal, Karimnagar and Adilabad – seeking their cooperation to pull the company out of the woods.

Besides this to boost the morale of the employees, SCCL Chairman and Managing Director N Sridhar on Wednesday gave a pat to the Bheema Dragline operators who achieved 27,360 cubic metres of over burden (OB) at the Open Cast-3 of the Ramagundam-2 Area on February 22 working 23 hours.

He spoke to the four operators – N Rammohan, B Rajesham, Abdul Rehman and T R Sundar Raj over phone and congratulated them for achieving the rare feat. The Chairman also sent appreciation letters individually to these operators. This first of its kind proactive approach of the Chairman has really gone down very well in the employees’ circle. According SCCL sources, the Chairman, who is hell bent on stepping up coal production to a record level, has been working out more strategies to reach out his employees.
