India. Its one of the oldest foot ware manufacturer .

It also exports considerable portions of the its
premium segments. Its has a workforce of over 11,000
employees.

But the HR policies are conventional and empirical.
According to them job hopping candidates are prone
to leave the organisation early.



HR People are instructed to eliminate the applicants with
poor track record of job stability , irrespective of their
levels of skills and abilities.

But the compensation packages are best in the industry,
so they never faced any problem in finding the required
numbers.

plant in the southern India to double its production

peoples.

the revisions in the HR policies.

He insisted to change the old HR policies and the
company design and develop effective career
development programmes for employees

And also on evolving plans for training these employees
continuously as a part of the skill enhancement exercise.

However management did not buy his arguments.
