Synergy Between Employee Participation and CSR Efforts in India
by Bvokal Technologies bvokal.ginni@gmail.comEmployee participation
and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are two new, essential pillars in
today's fast-paced business sector. CSR projects show that a firm cares about
the community, while employee engagement
activities make sure workers are happy and productive. In countries
like India, where corporate social responsibility is mandated by law, there is
a natural synergy between the two fields.
Fun and Games Aren't
the Only Employee Engagement Activities
Engaging employees
requires more than simply throwing parties and doing team-building activities.
It's all about making workers feel like they matter, that their opinions
matter, and that they have a stake in the success of the organization.
Workshops for skill development, feedback sessions, and health promotion
initiatives are just a few examples of such activities. These things help you
develop personally while also increasing your enjoyment at work.
CSR Initiatives in
India: Going Beyond Required Donations
When compared to other
countries, India's approach to CSR initiatives
in India legislation is exceptional. Significant companies are required
by the Companies Act 2013 to devote 2% of their net income to CSR efforts. As a
result, there has been a proliferation of programs with the goal of bettering
society. A few examples:
Reliance Industries
The biggest
corporation in India has regularly spent the most on corporate social
responsibility. The Reliance Foundation is the corporate social responsibility
arm of the Reliance Group. It has an emphasis on rural development, education,
health, and other areas. They exceeded their required CSR spending of Rs. 1186
crores in FY2021 -22.
The Tata Group's TCS
Consultancy Services
A worldwide leader in
information technology services that places a premium on giving back to local neighborhoods.
They spent Rs. 727 crores on CSR in FY2021-22, with an emphasis on education,
skill development, and closing opportunity gaps.
HDFC Bank
HDFC Parivartan is the
corporate social responsibility arm of India's biggest private sector bank,
HDFC. Over 9.6 crore people would be impacted by their work in Education,
Healthcare, Rural Development, and other areas.
The Intersection
between CSR and Employee Involvement
There is a benefit for
both the company and its employees when CSR
initiatives in India are included in efforts to increase employee
engagement. Motivated workers are more likely to take part in corporate social
responsibility (CSR) initiatives. TCS's worldwide community projects, for
instance, benefited over 1.7 million people in FY 2022. All thanks to the
efforts of its employees, who volunteered over 700,000 hours.
