In a move to boost the productivity of their employee, a Chennai based company has taken a unique approach to reward its workers.
Structural steel design and detailing company, Team Detailing Solutions has gifted as many as 28 cars and 29 bikes to its employees.
A variety of brand new cars ranging from Hyundai, Tata, Maruti Suzuki and Mercedes Benz were presented to the employees as a token of appreciation for their hard work and dedication, an official said.
Managing Director of the city-based company, Sridhar Kannan said, “We wanted to show our appreciation for their (employees) tireless efforts in driving the company’s success. We believe our employees are our greatest assets.”
‘Proud to recognise employees’ achievements’
The company has measured the employees’ contribution based on their performance, years of service. “Our employees have demonstrated exceptional commitment and dedication, and we are proud to recognise their achievements.” (Also read: This company called for ‘mandatory remote work day’, then fired 400 employees on call)
Addressing reporters, Kannan said the company has an employee base of about 180 people who hail from humble background and are highly skilled.
“We select the candidates who are highly motivated and a concept of buying a car or a bike is like a dream for them. We have been gifting bikes to the employees and in 2022 we gifted car to two of our senior colleagues. We have gifted 28 cars today. Some of them are Maruti Suzukis, Hyundais, Mercedes Benz as well..” he said.
‘Marriage assistance’ to workers
To a query, he said the company would offer the car or bike with a ceiling amount. If the employee needs a better vehicle than what the company has chosen, he needs to pay the remaining amount, he said.
Besides gifting cars, the company said it also provides funds to employees as marriage assistance. “If a colleague is getting married we were giving them ₹50,000 as marriage assistance. Now, we have increased that to ₹1 lakh from this year,” he said.
“We expect this gesture (from the company) to boost morale, motivation and productivity. We are proud to recognise the employee efforts. We will continue to prioritise employee development and customer satisfaction”, he added. (Also read: Company locks employee in ‘dark room for 4 days’ to make him quit. Here’s what happened)
