Formation of an efficient research and development team, a credit-based incentive system for employees, and a slew of programmes to develop their technical and managerial skills are among the highlights of the new ‘Capacity building policy’ unveiled by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).
Designed as a ‘‘premium in-house capacity building system”, the policy envisions creation of a ‘‘a high-skilled, sustainability-aware, good governance-oriented’‘ workforce that can take up the emerging challenges in the power sector. The State-run power utility has over 33,000 employees.
Drafted by the capacity building core committee of the utility, the policy has now been cleared by its director board for implementation. The R&D team will develop and commercialise improved processes and products for the KSEB and offer innovative and cost-effective solutions necessary for organisational sustainability and growth, according to the the policy.
