Learning is a continuous process at Pidilite. Right from the time a person joins the Pidilite family, he is inducted into the culture of learning through various initiatives. The objective is to build functional and general management competencies so that he performs his job more effectively or prepares himself to handle higher responsibilities, thereby adding value both to himself and the organization.

Every employee, after joining, undergoes an orientation programmme whereby he learns about the core values and vision, culture and performance / improvement management initiatives undertaken by the Company.

Improvement Management initiatives focus on institutionalising continuous improvement programmes in all processes, products and services through proper methodology of solving problems. Internal trainers and champions are regularly developed by the organization to carry forward these initiatives on a continuous basis. Repeat index of successful initiatives undertaken is also tracked so that successfully implemented initiatives at one location are replicated at other locations as well.

Apart from the above, training needs are identified at organisational, departmental and individual levels. Training is arranged internally by i nternal/external trainers and externally by deputing/sponsoring employees to programmes, seminars, conferences and workshops arranged by leading training institutes.

An e-learning module has also been installed on our internal website (intranet) which mainly focuses on technical knowledge of our wide range of products.

The aim is to provide on an average three man-days of training per employee per year so as to enhance Pidilite's learning excellence.
