Undaunted by the unprecedented halt in operations due to the lockdown, BHEL has achieved a major milestone by successfully implementing a huge employee engagement initiative, it said in a statement.

In the past one month, the company has reached out to nearly 21,000 employees to maintain continuity and to facilitate the transition to work-from-home.

In addition to focusing on the health and wellbeing of its employees, BHEL has effectively used this lockdown as an opportunity to sharpen the skill set and creativity & productivity of employees, BHEL said.

 

The company has created more than 230 learning opportunities through various e-learning courses / webinars / training on technical, functional, managerial and behavioral domains.

BHEL has also collaborated with external resources for certified online-learning courses.

The company has also leveraged its vast IT infrastructure to support remote learning by arranging nearly 1000 webex licenses for extensive coverage.
