FIRMS CUT OUTPUT, INCREASE NUMBER OF SHIFTS TO AVOID COVID DISRUPTION

These steps are being taken amidst a surge in the daily number of cases,
particularly in bigger cities and surrounding areas.

To minimise infection some companies have started to cut production, increase
number of shifts, or reduce shift timings to ensure social distancing in
factories. Some manufacturing companies have started to voluntarily cut
production, increase number of shifts, or reduce shift timings to ensure social
distancing in factories and minimise infection. They are also reducing sales
targets and asking sales field force to curtail market visits.

At the same time, companies selling essentials and staples, such as Adani
Wilmar, ITC and Dabur, while observing social distancing restrictions, have
increased production level and inventory level to ensure continued and
uninterrupted supplies of products and mitigate possible supply chain issues.

These steps are being taken amidst a surge in the daily number of cases,
particularly in bigger cities and surrounding areas.

INTELLIGENT, HUMANE, HAPPY: WORK AND WORKER 2022

ETHRWorld and Oracle, learn how talent and technology are creating happy, human,
and intelligent workplaces of the future.

“It’s spreading like wildfire. We have shut offices and asked all employees to
stay at home and exercise extreme caution,” said Varun Berry, managing director,
Britannia Industries.

Rejig in Production Strategy

Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s largest car maker, has shortened shift timing
in factories and maintained a roster for employees working in offices. Rajesh
Uppal, member of executive board - HR and safety, said the company has activated
its disaster management and business continuity plan due to rapid surge in
cases.

AC and appliance maker Carrier Midea India’s chairman Krishan Sachdev said the
company is forsaking peak production ahead of summer months to ensure social
distance among factory workers. “We normally produce 1,200 units per shift per
line, but currently running it at 800 units per shift per line to keep workers
safe,” he said.

Godrej Appliances has cut production by 20-25% because it has sufficient stock,
while Panasonic India will decide on production cuts after taking stock of the
situation this week.

A large MNC electronics company asking not to be named said it is maintaining
the production schedule but now running it in three shifts instead of two to
reduce the number of workers on the shopfloor, a senior executive said.



An ITC spokesperson said specific zoning has been implemented at factories to
ensure that any possible spread is contained apart from random testing of
workers.

LG, Samsung, ITC, Honda Cars, Haier and Carrier Midea are among companies that
have reduced office attendance to 25-30% while some like LG have mandated that
those visiting offices must undergo a Covid test.

These companies have given flexibility to the sales force to decide on market
visits in cities where cases are high. Sales executives have also been asked to
use their own vehicles.

During the second wave last year, absenteeism was one of the key factors for
lower productivity, both at offices and manufacturing units. However, companies
hope milder symptoms and reduced quarantine period of seven days after one tests
positive this time will put lower stress on the workforce.

Hyundai Motor India said its current model is a mix of work-from-home and
staggered work schedules to keep office occupancy at an optimal level.

Charles Joseph to Senior GM - HR at Hyundai Motor India said the company would
continue to reflect Govt advisories/protocols in all initiatives and
interventions.

"Our current model is a mix of ‘Work-from-Home’ and ‘Staggered Work-Schedules’.
This has kept office occupancy at an optimalmj mode on any given day. We have
initiated ‘Silent’ Cafeteria, Restrictions to Visitors (no entry), 100% Virtual
Discussions/Meetings, Spaced Mobility/Transportation, Professional Regular &
Deep Cleansing, Health & Well-being Sessions(Virtual) extended to families,
In-House Counselling etc are part of a long list of initiatives/interventions
placed," added Joseph.

Veejay Nakra, chief executive officer (automotive division) at M&M, said so far
the recent spike in Covid cases have not had any impact on operations. “We have
a well defined policy in place to prepare and take care of any future impact,”
he said.

Adani Wilmar, which sells the Fortune brand of edible oils, has raised
production levels.

“We have increased our manufacturing by about 25% to stock more products before
the situation worsens. Also, we have doubled our inventory with distributors,”
said Angshu Mallick, chief executive of Adani Wilmar.

Dabur India executive director-operations Shahrukh Khan said the company has
begun building requisite inventory to maintain continuity of product supplies.

The statement further read that the rise in remote work has catalysed a revised
approach to remuneration packaging. As well as assessing the traditional metrics
of employee skills and seniority, employers are now assessing the applicant’s
location to determine salary based on cost-of-living factors.Sydney: A statement
read that the majority of Australian businesses (72%) are open to hiring people
from across Australia and having them work remotely following a 283% spike in
remote work job postings since the beginning of the pandemic, according to a new
report by specialised recruiter Robert Half.

According to the statement, the research coincides with the launch of Robert
Half’s Demand for Skilled Talent report, produced alongside labour market
analytics firm, Burning Glass Technologies, to provide an in-depth analysis of
current employment market trends, in-demand roles and the rise of the ‘Anywhere
Workforce’.

Furthermore, according to the Demand for Skilled Talent report, while lockdowns
across the country accelerate the move towards remote work for the professional
sector, Australian bosses are embracing the ‘Anywhere Workforce’ trend in order
to access a wider talent pool and address the fierce talent gap facing the
Australian market.



The Demand for Skilled Talent report mentions the increase in remote job
postings between March 2020 and March 2021 (compared to the pre-COVID period of
June 2019-February 2020), was driven largely by business support roles (+394%),
followed by finance and accounting roles (+279%) and technology roles (+227%).

The statement further read that the rise in remote work has catalysed a revised
approach to remuneration packaging. As well as assessing the traditional metrics
of employee skills and seniority, employers are now assessing the applicant’s
location to determine salary based on cost-of-living factors.

The Robert Half survey found that more than almost one-in-four (38%) businesses
are likely to remunerate according to the location the team is headquartered
while 34% would consider a hybrid of the two locations – office location and
remote worker location – to set the appropriate salary benchmark. One-in-four
(25%) hiring managers say they would use the location of the remote worker when
considering salary. Merely 3% remain unsure.

The statement also mentioned that salaries between states can vary by up to 16%
for the same role and experience level which represents a significant
opportunity for employees to boost their earning potential through remote work
arrangements.



The statement further added, when looking at remuneration intent, New South
Wales (45%) and Victorian (47%) organisations are more likely to remunerate a
remote employee based on headquarter location than their Queensland (27%) and
Western Australian (30%) counterparts.

At the same time, Victoria and New South Wales generally offer higher average
salaries per equivalent role to their Queensland and Western Australian
counterparts. Based on Robert Half remuneration data, Victorians pay the highest
salaries for finance and accounting professionals, up to 13% higher than their
Queensland counterparts for median experience levels. In technology, businesses
in New South Wales can pay up to 16% more for median experience levels, compared
to their West Australian peers.

For employees securing remote work, this suggests that the most lucrative
positions are with New South Wales or Victorian businesses who pay according to
their headquarter location.

David Jones, Senior Managing Director - Asia Pacific, Robert Half, said in the
statement, “Remote work presents new opportunities for employees and employers
alike. For employees, the rise in remote work has created the potential for
professionals to secure work with a remote employer who may pay more than a
local organisation as well as save on living costs by moving away from the big
cities. For instance, an employee based in a city with a lower cost-of-living
while working remotely for an organisation who pay a higher salary based on
their location may be able to increase their discretionary income.”

“As a deepening skills shortage puts pressure on Australian businesses, remote
work offers employers the ability to tap into new talent pools outside of their
geography. To successfully attract remote workers, remuneration strategies will
need to be abreast of national salary trends in order to offer a competitive
package to out-of-state applicants. For businesses looking to attract remote
talent based in higher-paying states, they should be prepared to at least meet
the remuneration standards of the applicant’s location or risk losing the
candidate to a local role,” Jones concludes in the statement.
