NTPC plans to offer 15-day paid leave to employees at remote sites after every two-and-a-half-month stint
NEW DELHI . In an attempt to keep its staff motivated at far-off project sites spread across the country, state-owned NTPC Ltd has taken a leaf out of Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd’s playbook.
Impressed by the upstream explorer’s policy of granting 14 days paid leave to its employees after a 14-day stint at the high seas, India’s largest power generation utility introduced a pilot scheme at its 2,500 megawatt (MW) Rihand project at Sonebhadra in Uttar Pradesh.
According to the contours of the scheme, NTPC personnel get a 15 days paid leave after serving for two-and-a-half months at the site.
Explaining the rationale of the scheme, U.P. Pani, director, human resources at the utility and the man behind the scheme, said, “Often it so happens that while a NTPC employee gets posted at one of our remote locations across the country, they can’t take their family along. This also results in them being averse to such postings.”
