Executive Summary
This project on A STUDY ON EMPLOYE RETENTION AT WIND WORLD
(INDIA)LIMITED,

SHIRAHATTI

deals

to

ascertain

the

EMPLOYEE

RETENTION of Wind World (India) Limited.


In this project my aim is to know the principle adopted by the company to handle its
EMPLOYE RETENTION problem & the aim is to study about EMPLOYE
RETENTION.
I hope that the study has fulfilled all its objectives and will be useful for those who are
using this project report in the future.
Employee retention is a process in which the employees are encouraged to remain
with the organization for the maximum period of time or until the completion of the
project. Employee retention is beneficial for the organization as well as the employee.
Employees today are different. They are not the ones who dont have good
opportunities in hand. As soon as they feel dissatisfied with the current employer or
the job, they switch over to the next job. It is the responsibility of the employer to
retain their best employees. If they dont, they would be left with no good employees.
A good employer should know how to attract and retain its employees. Most
employees feel that they are worth more than they are actually paid. There is a natural
disparity between what people think they should be paid and what organizations
spend in compensation. When the difference becomes too great and another
opportunity occurs, turnover can result. Pay is defined as the wages, salary, or
compensation given to an employee in exchange for services the employee performs
for the organization. Pay is more than "dollars and cents;" it also acknowledges the
worth and value of the human contribution. What people are paid has been shown to
have a clear, reliable impact on turnover in numerous studies. Employees comprise
the most vital assets of the company.

Chapter 1
Industry Overview
The wind power industry is involved with the design, manufacture, construction, and
maintenance of wind turbines. The modern wind power industry began in 1979 with
the serial production of wind turbines by Danish manufacturers. The industry is
currently undergoing a period of rapid globalization and consolidation.
The wind power industry is the industry involved with the design, manufacture,
construction, and maintenance of wind turbines. Although the wind power industry is
small compared to those of the conventional power generation technologies (hydro,
coal, natural gas, and nuclear), it is growing at a much faster rate (25% per year, from
2002 to 2007).
The modern wind power industry began in 1979 with the serial production of wind
turbines by Danish manufacturers Kuriant, Vestas, Nordtank, and Bonus. Initially,
most of these early turbines were installed in western Denmark. California, USA
experienced a wind power boom from 1982 to 1986 when thousands of Danish and
American wind turbines were installed in massive arrays. India got involved in wind
power in the mid-1980s as well, while Germany and Spain gradually developed
domestic wind power industries starting in the early 1990s.
Wind turbine manufacturers design, test, manufacture, and assist with the operation
and maintenance of wind turbines. Important choices facing them include turbine
design (generator type, gearbox vs. gear-less, materials) and how much control to
maintain over component supplies (internal vs. external). They must be concerned
with maintaining their extensive fleets of operating turbines while at the same time
developing newer and ever-larger models. The largest wind turbine manufacturers are
based in Denmark, Germany, Spain, India, and USA.
The wind power industry is currently undergoing a period of rapid globalization and
consolidation, with much of the recent wind farm development occurring outside the
older established markets. Several large companies with market capitalizations greater

than the entire wind power industry itself (General Electric, Siemens, BP) are now
making large investments in wind power. To meet a global wind turbine supply
shortage, start-up wind turbine manufacturers are still appearing and ramping up the
production of their new wind turbine models as quickly as possible.

Area of Operations-Products
ROTOR ASSEMBLY
Rotor head production comprises the manufacture and integration of the pitch drive,
bearing, axle pin, stator-rotor and balancing assembly, under a single roof.
The rotor hub or unit along with pitch drive and annular generator are interconnected
to form a single gearless unit. The rotor unit is then mounted on a fixed axis, called
the axle pin.
As compared to conventional geared systems with a large number of bearing points in
a moving drive train, our drive system requires only two slow-moving taper roller
bearings, due to its low direct drive speed @ 25 RPM. Bearing fitment is executed
using the shrink as well as induction heating techniques.
Wind turbines are equipped with a variable pitch technology. This allows for
feathering the angle of the blades for each wind speed; whereby controlled extraction
is done using the maximum energy in the wind flow.
In below-normal wind conditions, the pitch is tailored to derive maximum energy
potential; while in above-normal conditions, the pitch is altered to derive a controlled
amount of energy, so that the machine produces the rated power in a controlled and
stable manner up to cut out wind speed.
Besides maximizing wind energy derived, this system reduces torque on the device
and allows for the use of the full blade as an aerodynamic brake.
At every stage of assembly standard quality checks are executed as per our quality
protocol requirement. This is executed by trained personnel using high quality
calibrated equipment, to provide evidence of product conformity to requirements.

TOWER CONSTRUCTION
Wind World (India) Ltd. has three Concrete Tower Factories (CTFs) at Gujarat and
Karnataka. The fourth CTF in Rajasthan is under construction.
Towers are important because of their load-bearing capability to support the turbine,
which weighs close to 400 MT, and also because they bear the onslaught of winds,
rain, erosion and other naturally occurring hazards.
The load-dynamic design of the materials and structure used in our towers, provides
the best conditions for transport, installation and use.
Over and above binding national and international norms e.g. DIN and Eurocode, we
have set our own standards which surpass these quality and safety norms.
Virtual 3D models of the tower designs are produced during the development phase,
using the Finite Element Method (FEM). All possible stress factors on the wind
turbine are then simulated on the model. Accurate predictions concerning tower
stability and service life are not left to chance before building a prototype.
We continuously evaluate additional measurements on existing turbines, providing
further verification of the calculated data. Our calculations are confirmed by results
produced by specially commissioned certification bodies, research institutes and
engineering firms.

Aesthetic aspects are also a decisive factor during tower development, which is
obvious in the elegant design of the finished product. The streamlined gradually
tapered design, offers a visibly sophisticated ergonomic concept.
In addition, there is also an ice machine at the production plant. At high temperatures,
it produces over 120 tons of ice per day to cool down the concrete. Water for the ice
maker is cleaned in one of our own water treatment plants.

TUBULAR STEEL TOWERS


Tubular steel towers are manufactured in several individual tower sections, connected
using stress-reducing L-flanges. Unlike conventional flange joints, the welding seam
of the L-flange is outside the stress zone.
Other advantages of this connecting technology are:

Complicated and costly welding work on site is eliminated

Quick, reliable assembly - meets the highest quality standards

Full corrosion protection - applied under best production engineering


conditions

Due to their relatively small circumference, shorter tubular steel towers are mounted
on the foundation using a foundation basket. This consists of a double-rowed circular
array of threaded steel bolts. A retainer ring, fitted to the tower flange dimensions, is
used to hold the individual bolts in position.
When the foundation is completed, the lower tower section is placed on the bolts
protruding out of the concrete surface and then bolted with nuts and washers.
For taller steel towers, a specially developed foundation connection system is used. A
cylindrical structural element is set on the blinding layer, propped up to the correct
height and precisely aligned with adjusting bolts.
Once the foundation is completed, the tower is flanged together with the foundation
section. Like all other components, tubular steel towers are subject to strict quality
standards.
Quality assurance begins in the design development stages, to ensure that the
prototype meets all requirements before going into serial production.

CONCRETE TOWER MANUFACTURING


Wind World (India) Ltd.'s precast concrete towers are made using specially developed
pre-stressed steel reinforcement. The individual tower sections and foundation are
fastened together to form an inseparable unit with stay cables running through jacket
tubes in the core of the concrete tower wall. The tower sections themselves are
manufactured entirely in the pre-casting plant. Specially constructed steel moulds
assure manufacturing precision for each individual concrete section.
This manufacturing process minimizes dimensional tolerances, which assures a high
degree of fitting accuracy. Here again, our quality assurance department carries out
strict inspections. Detailed procedural and work instructions are available for each
manufacturing sector. This ensures that each individual manufacturing stage as well
as the materials used can be completely retraced.

different part of the nation is specialized in one of the companies undertakings
according to that each plant and site having infrastructure. Each plant having
sufficient storage facilities, transportation facilities, connected to high ways
and also according competitive advantages.

Evacuation Facility:
Power Evacuation Facility is one very important constituent of the Wind
Power Project (WPP) on which rests its performance. WPP has to have a very
good power evacuation facility. The power generated by the wind power
project needs to be transmitted to a point from where it is distributed for use
through this facility. Thus power evacuation plays a critical role in the power
project. Wind World India Limited conduct a thorough study of the power
evacuation arrangement in the area where the wind power potential exists. A
windy site with poor evacuation arrangement affects the project performance.
Wind World Limited has thus been instrumental in establishing the adequate
evacuation facility for its upcoming projects, wherever it is necessary. Wind
World India Limited has created power evacuation facilities at few potential
sites, where it was a necessity. Wind World India Limited has thus
demonstrated its capacity to undertake the project work to its ultimate to
achieve the best performance of the WPP.

Road Development:
This Activity is site dependent. Certain sites need extensive Road work and
for some it is bare minimum. Hilly Terrain sites needs huge amount of
approach road work. The best route to reach the top of the hill is worked out
first. Then hill cutting and the road work is undertaken so that the trailers
which carry the materials and cranes to undertake the erection activity can
reach the point of Installation. e.g. Karnataka, Jogimatti Site.

Management
The Wind World India ltds management is divided into mainly
three levels. They are:Top Level Management: Is at the head of the
organization. It consists of Board of Trustees and its Chairman, Deputy Chairman. In
the operation of the enterprise, top management is the ultimate level of authority since
they are responsible for taking major decisions regarding the organization.

Middle Management: Consists of departmental heads and other executive


officers attached to the different department. This level of management is responsible
for implementing the policies and plans decided by the top management.

Lower Management: Lower level management is also called as supervisory


management. Consists of senior supervisions, intermediate supervisions and front
line supervisors. The executives at this level are in direct touch with the rank and file
of workers and have to see the work is properly carried out.

7. Staff
Staff according to McKinsey 7-S Framework refers to how companies develop
employees and shape basic values. Staff is often treated in one of two ways. At the
hard end of the spectrum, we talk of appraisal systems, pay scales, formal training
programs, and the like. At the soft end, we talk about morale, attitude, motivation and
behavior. Brown and Moberg define staffing as The selection, placement, training
and development of appropriately qualified employees. Which implies that it
includes two fundamentally different process, i.e., selecting people for specific
organizational positions and developing in them the abilities and skills that they
would need to be effective in those and subsequent assignments. The staff selection
committee will select the eligible candidates as per the approve recruitment rules and
they will finalize the list of candidates to be appointed. For the selected employees
and arranges training programs with a view to render a qualitative improvement in
their working style. The training program has shown noticeable improvement in the

LITERATURE REVIEW
Muhammad Hassan (1): Employee retention is the vital challenge in all
organizations. This papers focus on one industry that is the leather industry of
Pakistan which is facing the same problem of retention of employees due to many
reasons. As Leather industry is the third largest export earning sector in Pakistan so
these reasons are discussed in detail. The turnover rate in Leather Industry of Pakistan
is around 25 30% annually, its observed that mostly second line managers change
their jobs for high salaries offer, recognition, authority and also to seek for more
knowledge and to get more competitive edge in terms of processing; In tanneries its
critical and alarming because of the process and article secrecy. In order to achieve
competitive advantage, maximum utilization of resources and to get organizational
efficiency employees must be retained in a true spirit in order to cope with all these
conditions. In this paper the authors tried to know the reasons behind this dilemma
that how employees can be retained and some suggestions were given to deal with it.
One edge of this paper is that one of the author belongs to the same industry i.e.
leather industry.

Tammy C. Morse (2): Humor has been in existence since the beginning of time.
Some even claim that humor is the best preventive medicine for stress management
and good health. If humor is good for living productively, can it also be good for
employee retention and/or employee satisfaction? The purpose of this conceptual and
practical paper is to explore the extent to which the use of appropriate humor relates
to employee retention and satisfaction, which can enhance the commitment,
cohesiveness and performance of a companys workforce. Another objective is to
explore and emphasize the importance of humor and employee retention in the
workplace. The paper provides practical recommendations for todays managers and
offers a focus for future researchers to empirically test the use of humor and its
relationship to employee retention and employee satisfaction.

Dr. Nafees A. Khan (3): Retention of Key employees is critical to the long term
health and success of any organization. It is a known fact that retaining the best
employees, ensures customer satisfaction, increased product sales, satisfied colleagues
and reporting staff, effective succession planning and deeply imbedded organizational
knowledge and learning. Now days companies are struggling to retain employees. As
employee attrition has continuously been on increase, and its coeval phenomenon of
employee retention has become an evolving concept. The ultimate solution to the ever
increasing employee attrition is to increase employee engagement/ involvement in the
organizations.

Atif Anis (4): Employee retention is a critical aspect for every company regarding
competitive advantage because human resource is the most critical asset of todays
modern world. Other resources can be arranged effortlessly but to get efficient and
retain talented human capital is the most difficult task. Therefore, organizations are
now more focused towards employee retention. Organizations use different HR
techniques for retention. Our main emphasis is on compensation packages after
employee training and development practices for retention purposes. We will also see
how a relaxed work environment will help in the retention of employees. For this
purpose, we conducted this study in Lahore and collected data from corporate groups.
The numbers of respondents in our study are 330. For analysis we used the structural
equation modelling technique with the use of AMOS 18.0. In this study, we used
compensation as the mediating variable between the training and retention of
employees. Results reveal that retaining employees long term, after their training and
development has been completed, without increasing their compensations is not as
favourable as when compensation is increased to reflect the completion ability to
apply their field related skills and capabilities.

Ijaz-Ur-Rehman (5): Comprehensive survey to date of labour turnover and


employee loyalty in New Zealand. The widely held view that the New Zealand
worker has become more mobile in the contemporary labour market is shown to be
somewhat simplistic. Instead, the picture is one of increasing employment stability as
people get older and as they become better paid, lending support to the idea that there
are identifiable developmental stages affecting the careers of both men and women. In

terms of the reasons for employee turnover, the study demonstrates that motivation
for job change is multidimensional: no one factor will explain it. While interesting
work is the strongest attractor and retainer in the labour market, the results also show
that there is a strong employee expectation that management should make personnel
decisions based on merit, demonstrate that extrinsic rewards (such as pay, promotion
and security) play a role in both employee retention and turnover, lend support to the
idea that there is growing concern with worklife balance, and underline the retention
value of good relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results demonstrate
that employee turnover is not riskless for individuals: some benefit a lot (for example,
in finding worthwhile promotion), while others do badly out of it. The study offers
suggestions for improving retention in firms with dysfunctional employee turnover.

Introduction:
Research is the process of systematic and in-depth study or search for any
particular topic, subject or area of investigation, backed by collection, compilation,
presentation and interpretation of relevant details or data. Research methodology is a
way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science
of studying how research is done scientifically.
Research may develop hypothesis and test it. In it we study the various steps
that are generally adopted by the researcher in studying his research problem along
with the logic behind them.
Research must be based on fact observable data forms a sound basis for
research inductive investigation lead better support to research finding for analysing
facts a scientific methodology of analysis must be developed and result interpreted
logically.
It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research method or
techniques but also the methodology. Thus, when we talk of research methodology we
not only talk of the research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods
we use in the context of our research study and explain why we are using a particular
method or technique and why we are not using others so that research results are
capable of being evaluated either by the researcher himself or by others.
Research problems would result in certain conclusions by means of logical
analysis which the decision-maker may use for his action or solution.

Research Methodology
Data collection:
Data collection is one of the most important aspects of research. For the
success of any project accurate data is very important and necessary. The information
collected through research methodology must be accurate and relevant.

Methods of data collection:


Primary Data
Secondary Data

Primary Data:
Data collected by a researcher is known as primary data. It is collected
by a person for his own use obtained from findings. This is considered as
firsthand information. This is that data which is collected by us to meet our
own specific purpose. The data is collected by the means of questionnaire
filled in by the employees at different posts of Nagpur area office. This
method of data collection is very popular particularly in big organizations.

Secondary Data:
Secondary data means data that are already available i.e., they refer to
data which has already been collected and analyzed by someone else. This
type of data information can also be used by the researcher for his use as
second hand information sources through which secondary data can be
collected. Secondary data may either be published data or unpublished data.

Employee Retention
Introduction
Effective employee retention is a systematic effort by employers to create and foster
an environment that encourages current employees to remain employed by having
policies and practices in place that address their diverse needs. A strong retention
strategy becomes a powerful recruitment tool.
Employee retention matters as organizational issues such as training time and
investment; lost knowledge; insecure employees and a costly candidate search are
involved. Hence failing to retain a key employee is a costly proposition for an
organization. Various estimates suggest that losing a middle manager in most
organizations costs up to five times of his salary.
Intelligent employers always realize the importance of retaining the best talent.
Retaining talent has never been so important in the Indian scenario; In an intensely
competitive environment, where HR managers are poaching from each other,
organizations can either hold on to their employees tight or lose them to competition.
For gone are the days, when employees would stick to an employer for years for want
of a better choice. Now, opportunities abound.

Scope of the study:


Employee Retention refers to the techniques employed by the management to
help the employees stay with the organization for a longer period of time. Employee
retention strategies go a long way in motivating the employees so that they stick to the
organization for the maximum time and contribute effectively. Sincere efforts must be
taken to ensure growth and learning for the employees in their current assignments
and for them to enjoy their work.

Let us understand why retaining a valuable employee is essential for


an organization:

Hiring is not an easy process: The HR Professional shortlists few individuals


from a large pool of talent, conducts preliminary interviews and eventually
forwards it to the respective line managers who further grill them to judge
whether they are fit for the organization or not. Recruiting the right candidate
is a time consuming process.

An organization invests time and money in grooming an individual and


makes him ready to work and understand the corporate culture: A new
joinee is completely raw and the management really has to work hard to train
him for his overall development. It is a complete wastage of time and money
when an individual leaves an organization all of a sudden. The HR has to start
the recruitment process all over again for the same vacancy; a mere
duplication of work. Finding a right employee for an organization is a tedious
job and all efforts simply go waste when the employee leaves.

When an individual resigns from his present organization, it is more


likely that he would join the competitors: In such cases, employees tend to
take all the strategies, policies from the current organization to the new one.
Individuals take all the important data, information and statistics to their new
organization and in some cases even leak the secrets of the previous
organization. To avoid such cases, it is essential that the new joinee is made to
sign a document which stops him from passing on any information even if he
leaves the organization. Strict policy should be made which prevents the

Page No. 51

Karnatak University Post Graduate Centre, Gadag-Betgeri

A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE
RETENTION
employees to join the competitors. This is an effective way to retain the
employees

The employees working for a longer period of time are more familiar with
the companys policies, guidelines and thus they adjust better: They
perform better than individuals who change jobs frequently. Employees who
spend a considerable time in an organization know the organization in and out
and thus are in a position to contribute effectively.

Every individual needs time to adjust with others: One needs time to know
his team members well, be friendly with them and eventually trust them.
Organizations are always benefited when the employees are compatible with
each other and discuss things among themselves to come out with something
beneficial for all. When a new individual replaces an existing employee,
adjustment problems crop up. Individuals find it really difficult to establish a
comfort level with the other person. After striking a rapport with an existing
employee, it is a challenge for the employees to adjust with someone new and
most importantly trust him. It is a human tendency to compare a new joinee
with the previous employees and always find faults in him.

It has been observed that individuals sticking to an organization for a


longer span are more loyal towards the management and the
organization: They enjoy all kinds of benefits from the organization and as a
result are more attached to it. They hardly badmouth their organization and
always think in favour of the management. For them the organization comes
first and all other things later.

It is essential for the organization to retain the valuable employees


showing potential: Every organization needs hardworking and talented
employees who can really come out with something creative and different. No
organization can survive if all the top performers quit. It is essential for the
organization to retain those employees who really work hard and are
indispensable for the system.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY


Given the explorative nature of the study, some limitations of the data should
be stated. The research focused attention on the impact of employee retention. Due to
limited time and resources only 50 respondents were drawn. Another problem
encountered on the field is the timeframe within which respondents completed the
questionnaires and returned it to the researcher. Respondents took a longer period to
complete the questionnaires as they were most times busy with their work. Thus
leading to a delay in the collection of data.

Suggestions:
Retaining key personnel is critical to long term success of an organization. A
etention Strategy has become essential if your organization is to be productive over
time and can become an important part of your hiring strategy by attracting the best
candidates. In fact, some companies do not have to recruit because they receive so
many qualified unsolicited submissions due to their history of excellence in employee
retention. How do you get your employees to "fall in Love" with your organization?
This is a great question. Some of the suggestions for this can be summarized as
follows:

1.Provide better motivations to the employees. So that improves the satisfaction of the
employees.
2.Maintain a good relationship with the employees that help to improve their
production.
3.Change their work schedule and policies of their organization
4.Develop their infrastructure facility of their organization.
5.Reduce their employee retention problem and provide promotion offers to their
employees
6.Provide career opportunities to the employees.
7.Provide Compensation, Rewards and Recognition to the employees.
8.Provide promotions opportunities to the employees.
9.Offer fair and competitive salaries.
10.Provide job security and statutory benefits to their employees.
11.Provide training programs for their employees
12.Provide proper incentives to the employees
13. Improve its working environment and culture as it has the potential to retain
employees, which will help it to retain its valuable assets (employees).

A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE
RETENTION

Conclusion:
The research has a humble attempt in identifying the causes of employee
retention and come up with a few suggestions. Wind World ( India) Limited has a
high level of employee retention.
So, the management has simply to concretize people and live them alone with
an environment in which they find it possible to behave appropriately, identify the
problem, appreciate the need to resolve it, identify the factors and contributing to the
problem and behave in ways that would either eliminate the casual variables or reduce
their influence on the problems. Though slow, the process of concretization is sure to
produce the desired results conducted in proper ways.
Employees comprise the most vital assets of the company. In a work place
where employees are not able to use their full potential and not heard and valued, they
are likely to leave because of stress and frustration. They need transparent work
environment to work in. In a transparent environment where employees get a sense of
achievement and belongingness, where they can best utilize their potential and realize
their skills. They love to be the essential part of such organization and the company is
benefited with a stronger, reliable work-force harboring bright new ideas for its
growth.
