Nuvoco’s Initiatives during COVID-19
Nuvoco, a Cement & ready mix Concrete Manufacturers, through its cement manufacturing facilities in Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, and West Bengal has reached out to the local communities and contributed food packets and essential supplies. Moreover, they are also extending a helping hand to the local communities through their sales forces and over 60 ready-mix concrete (RMX) operations across the countries. Employees across locations have contributed a day’s salary towards relief funds. According to Manisha Kelkar, Chief HR Officer, Nuvoco Vistas Corp. Ltd., Nuvoco has implemented a process where they daily track the wellbeing of the employees across locations. In order to educate employees on the infection related risks involved, Nuvoco had organised interactive sessions by the Insurance Provider where employees were apprised of the importance of personal safety and the related insurance process in cases of hospitalisation for treatment. “There have been initiatives identified to recognise those who put themselves in harm’s way in order to serve the colony residents during these difficult times; ‘Heroes of the Day’ is one such initiative. Two ‘heroes’ are nominated on a daily basis and they also receive a token cash prize from the plant’s Core Management Committee. E-Learning is another thing that Nuvoco is pursuing in a big way. They have offered the employees options of using the One Hour Learning platform that has a multitude of courses on Functional, Behavioural and Leadership skills. Employees can also select self-paced courses on edX, founded by Harvard and MIT and regarded as the world’s leading e-Learning platform. Nuvoco is also connecting with its customers and consumers via social media by sharing with them the Best Construction Practices via tools like Facebook Live. ‘Nuvoco Knowledge Series’, a programme through which Nuvoco is connecting with its stakeholders, has completed four successful weeks. Participants have an opportunity to interact live with Nuvoco’s in-house experts and glean practical tips for building sturdier homes and buildings,” Kelkar briefed.
