Hi,
One point I want to stress is that, even though the MSL has earned the best management practices in the international forum, conditions in India are different such as culture, habits, and education. The HR policies in MSL are made by Japanese HR personnel. They have little knowledge about the local customs, conditions, education, etc. Their policies may work well in Japan's environment, but they do not work in Indian conditions. The same is the case with NOKIA and Hyundai Motors, which are multinationals that claim to implement the best HR practices.
The rise in the cost of living and the decrease in real wages are creating frustration in the workforce not only in MSL but also in other parts. So, the first thing is to provide workers with a comfortable living, good working conditions, social security, and fulfill medical and health requirements, giving recognition to their efforts. We need to take care of these things to keep the employees happy.

Hi Bhargavi and other friends,
Can anyone explain the role of government machinery in MSL case? What was the role of ALC and DLC regarding the deployment of 70% contract labor in the running factory? Was there any legal case or show cause between the Haryana Government and MSL?

Thank you,

Hi All,
Most of the managements ask the question, "What can you save for us? Labour costs are going up, how can we accommodate this? The cost of production will go up, for which many of the contractors use tricks in payscales. Even minimum wages are not paid in many listed industries. Workers are made to stay in rooms which are in unhealthy conditions, away from families. They are forced to work for more than 16 hours a day with single overtime. Whenever they request leave, they are told, "Tumhara kaam kaun karega, Tum ko kaam nahi chahiye, chale jao."
All these are again fabricated and shown to the relevant departments, where authorities/officers take bribes and say "ALL IS WELL."
Many are only concerned about adherence to labour laws or statutory compliance measures. Thus, a much broader approach is required to tackle this issue.
Performance will be based on "savings." So all the drama continues. Many corporates follow this approach. Additionally, the population contributes to the crisis, "TUM NAHI TO DOOSRA" is the buzzword.

Dear Bhargavi,
On that ugly day, I was there. At that time, I was thinking that it was completely misbehaved by the worker. But now I know that the situation at the time and some inappropriate steps led to this kind of tragedy. However, workers are only working because of their basic needs; otherwise, Maruti will be shuttered completely.
Thank you.

Thanks, Aroraji. Yes, 50% of the HR professionals who are branded as "Plant HR," without knowledge of labor laws and the organization's climate, have been adversely affected by external forces. HR must analyze the situation and respond appropriately without any shortcomings. We cannot solely blame the Management either, as they are unaware of the underlying currents, which essentially represent the situation.
We need to strike a balance between employees and employers. Let's consider a ratio of 60% for the employer and 40% for the employee. Unfortunately, some of our HR personnel do not even consider a 20% ratio for employees, leading to significant challenges faced by the group. It is crucial that we comprehend the actual scenario and fulfill our roles effectively.

Dear Bhargavi Solanki,
This case is an eye-opener, but it has not awakened the industries yet. Many industries have yet to improve and treat human beings (workers) as human beings. Still, the managers who suggest reducing the time between processes and applying KAIZEN and other methods of work improvement, or so-called production and productivity increase, get a hike in their package. On the other hand, the real performers, the workers, are squeezed into the system while their salaries remain the same (which happens to be 1/4th of the managers' maximum).
The Manesar Plant has possibly overlooked and appreciated only the managers, ignoring human behavior. Your write-up is still important and valuable for HR professionals, teachers, and students.
Thank you.
