FOREWORD

Keeping in view the need for making BEML a vibrant, transparent and system driven organization, significant actions have been taken in the past six years which have resulted in changes in the organization structure, policies dealing with matters relating to organization, security & intelligence concerns and human resources. The entire effort has been to make it apparent to one and all the expectations of the Management in meeting the tasks set for the organization, to make BEML a global organization capable of competing with international giants and the benefits available to the human resources which is key to the ultimate success of the organization.

Among the various steps taken in this regard, one of the steps relates to evolving a compendium comprising rules, regulations and benefits viz., the HR Service Manual brought out by the Department of Human Resources. While this compendium will serve the requirements of the concerned for ensuring activity in line with the company policy, it is still felt necessary that officers at senior levels and those coming into the BEML family are aware of the expectations of the organization and the benefits available to the human resources. This will ensure a level playing field allowing fair play and doubts being cleared in day to day working, involving human resources.

One of the major concerns of the organization has been the ignorance of the workforce about the rules and regulations and the expectations of the organization. This sometimes results in gaps between the reported behaviour and the actual manifestation, warranting action on the part of the Management.

In view of this, a need was increasingly felt to enlighten officers and employees of the expectations and benefits and for this purpose, a BEML handbook on functions and benefits was thought of.

6

HR HAND BOOK

A group of HR Officers who were given the task of evolving a HR Service Manual were also entrusted the work of bringing out a BEML handbook. This group under the able guidance of HR Leadership of Corporate Office had worked tirelessly and brought out a compact but comprehensive handbook. I am sure, a reading of the handbook will equip the concerned to effectively handle the situations as they develop, be it relating to the functions or the benefits applicable to the employees. Towards this end, action has been taken to upload the handbook in the Company's website and SAP for easy reference and guidance.

I now look forward to a transparent and efficient functioning of the human resources of BEML capable of meeting any challenges that may arise in meeting tasks set for the organization.

FOREWORD BY DIRECTOR (HR)

The vision led Management of BEML has continuously strived to build a performance based culture with strong and stable structures and systems to run the multifarious activities of the organization and building a strong, committed and motivated workforce.

At a stage when the organization is looking forward to completing the Golden Jubilee in 2013-14 in glory, it is necessary to re-assess ourselves for giving the required thrust to carry the organization forward. It is in this context a need was felt that a handbook be published containing precise but comprehensive information about the HR systems and sub-systems, service conditions, compensation & benefit and other welfare measures that are available to its human resources.

Accordingly, the HR Handbook has been brought out for the benefit and information of Executives I Employees to enable them to familiarize with the HR systems and procedures and become a useful member in taking BEML to commanding heights.

The Handbook is intended to be referred to or used for information and guidance and not as a rule book for which the service manual or the notifications of the company are to be referred to.

Last but not the least, I would like to place on record of the excellent efforts put in by the team of HR Officers to compile the HR Handbook. I am sure that all concerned will be immensely benefited by this endeavor.
