Intervention by My Sarthi Training
My Sarthi Training partnered with INOXGFL Group to ensure the successful and comprehensive adoption of their in-house Performance Management System & Development Planning (PMSDP) through a multi-phased, strategic training intervention:
Step 1: Understanding the system and requirements
My Sarthi Training initiated the project with detailed meetings involving the Corporate HR Head and Regional HR Head. The primary objective was to gain an in-depth understanding of INOXGFL’s in-house Performance Management System & Development Planning (PMSDP). This step also focused on gaining clarity regarding existing challenges related to employee mindset, system adoption rates, and the under-utilization of the automated PMSDP system.
Step 2: Content refinement
My Sarthi Training meticulously reviewed the client’s existing training modules provided by the HR team. The content was then refined and simplified, translating complex concepts into easily digestible information. Crucially, the content was aligned with actual on-ground application, ensuring practical relevance. The refinement specifically addressed all three critical areas: Mindset (why PMSDP is important), Skill Set (how to effectively use PMSDP functionalities, set KRAs/KPIs, give feedback), and Tool Set (technical proficiency with the software).
Step 3: Designing engaging delivery
To maximize learning retention and active participation, My Sarthi Training redesigned the training methodology to make sessions highly interactive, practical, and engaging. This involved incorporating various activities, real-life examples, stimulating group discussions, and relevant real-case scenarios to ensure deeper understanding, knowledge retention, and personal ownership of the PMSDP process.
Step 4: Nationwide training rollout – Year 1
In the first year, My Sarthi Training executed a large-scale, nationwide rollout. Over 20 customized training sessions were delivered across 4 states and 6 key locations. During this phase, over 350 participants, including managers, site heads, and functional leaders, received comprehensive PMSDP training, laying the foundational understanding for the new system.
Step 5: Extended rollout – Year 2
My Sarthi Training continued the intervention into a second year, focusing on deepening system integration and further embedding the performance management culture. An additional 450 participants were reached, with a strong emphasis on practical implementation, fostering internal coaching capabilities, and cultivating a sense of system ownership throughout the organization.
