Our Culture

Our Culture

They say that change starts from within. And that once it begins on the inside, it reflects on the outside. At Taraashna, we believe in embracing change and adapting to it, to become better than ever before. So while words like innovation, transformation and evolution have become the rallying call of today, to us they represent a lot more – the welcome opportunity to enact positive change in all the lives we touch. Promoting wide and diverse participation creates opportunities for bigger and better ideas, as well as improved organizational performance. Inclusion enhances employee engagement, this involvement benefits decision-making and in turn, results in innovative solutions becoming more common. The responsiveness and business dynamism of Taraashna is further encouraged by a major performance management programme that focuses on responsibility, delegation and management by objectives.

The HR Team is fundamental to organizational change and is responsible for ensuring that Taraashna is truly contributing to the ‘nation-building’ program. While closing skills gaps, acquiring and developing talent and tackling daily challenges are some of its critical functions, the HR team also makes a positive difference by embracing diversity, cross functional trainings and increasing opportunities to improve performance, including efforts to close competency gaps, provide individualized support through data driven results from a central analytics team, expand coaching and mentoring and promote individualized training – our training programs are updated continuously based on feedback and needs assessments.

Our Taraashna family has more than 1400 employees, spread far and wide across geographies and they have twice voted us as the preferred ‘employer of choice’ to work with, as per our in-house Employee Satisfaction surveys. Even as we support the career development of present employees, we are actively restructuring our workforce for the future, ensuring that it is stronger, accountable, better-equipped and enabled. We consider our people our greatest asset and want our employees to develop their capabilities to the fullest. This requires us to regularly and systematically address:

  • Strategic Alignment of our objectives with business, including Workforce and Succession Planning
  • Recruitment & Retention
  • Leadership & Knowledge Management
  • Results-oriented Performance Management
  • Talent Management & Skill building

The Taraashna HR Team is committed to supporting each and every one of our colleagues on the ground and our services extend beyond the workplace through programs like AAGMAN (आगमन), PARICHAY (परिचय), VRIDDHI( वृद्धि), AVGAT (अवगत) and the Employee Connect and Assistance Program. It is our firm belief that happy, healthy employees are productive ones and are best equipped to deliver on company objectives and the Taraashna mission. We look forward to continuing our efforts in making Taraashna one of the finest organisations to work with, for both our current and future employees.

Warm regards,
Mr. Ajay Sharma
Head of Human Resources, TFSL

    • Milind Deshmukh

      Operations

      “I once thought that Tata Motors Finance would be the last leg of my career. Then destiny struck in the form of a chance encounter with our extraordinary CMD; and I took one of the biggest decisions of my life, effectively changing it forever. I was overawed by how a man from such humble beginnings had built this magnificent organization, purely on sheer grit and passion. So when he proposed a career-defining move, I was onboard before he finished speaking! But it wasn’t easy going from a well-oiled organization to a revolutionary startup set to blaze a trail for all the world to see and follow – my foray into Taraashna was mired with ups and downs. It is the immense faith placed in me by the CMD that eased the journey ahead, making it more enticing and enriching by the day. This company urges to experiment and improvise for the better, work for passion rather than obligation, build real bonds with colleagues instead of mere associations with coworkers – a work environment primed for success. And yet every morning brings with it another new learning, thought or discovery to embrace and I find myself being inspired all over again.”

    • Radheshyam Patidar

      Operations

      “I come from a farming family and I take immense pride in being a small part of the community that feeds the world. Perhaps this why I love how Taraashna as a company, brings together individuals from different walks of life, different skill sets, aspirations and attitudes, all into its fold. Aside from providing a great working environment, freedom of operation and individual decision power, Taraasha ensures it employees feel a part of the Satin family and reach their full potential while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. In other words, the company cares for the person more than the employee! To me, this implied that everyone in the organization was equally as important and integral to the whole system and together, we made a cohesive, unified and unbeatable team. And there is no better man to lead us to success than our CEO, Mr.Sanjeev! His merits and capabilities make him the stronghold of the company, but his compassion and care is what drives it. So like many others, I am honoured to be at his side, all working as one to build Taraashna into greatness and go from one success to the next.”

    EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

    Across the months of April in both 2017 and 2018, TFSL conducted a series of internally-developed surveys called the ‘Voice of the Employee: 2017/2018’ to judge employee satisfaction. The surveys lasted for five days and were open to participation by every employee right from the base level, across all functions, branches, regions and head office.

    The objective of these surveys was to connect with all TFSL employees, whether mainstream or remotely located, to seek their inputs on creating a work culture and learning experience that would result in the company being able to achieve the highest standards of employee excellence and contentment.

    This initiative was the first step towards making TFSL a great place to work and the 2-minute survey questionnaire was carefully and studiously formulated by the internal TFSL team in order to gain some insight on how to go about succeeding in this endeavour. The intent was to understand how the average employee perceived the company, its overall direction, its strengths and weaknesses, as well as potential risks and opportunities for improvement. TFSL employees responded enthusiastically and insightfully, answering the survey via a mobile technology platform that was supervised by the HR team.

    SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS:

    • Mainstream linkage of field staff (invitation for all employees to participate)
    • More than 85% of workforce at all levels responded.
    • 100% developed in-house (no outside consultant engaged)
    • Cost effective (no explicit cost incurred in preparing and completing the survey, except the time and efforts of TFSL resources)
    • Comprised of 20 Multiple Choice Objective Questions, taking 2 minutes for completion
    • Anonymous responses by participant (to encourage unrestrained and honest feedback)
    • Penetration solely through mobile technology (accessible on mobile via a link)
    • Time bound, effective participation (completed successfully between 1st -5th April, with no extensions on timelines)
