Ergonomics
A healthy workplace environment is ideal when it comes to maintaining a positive outcome in a
stressful atmosphere. It puts positive impact on employee motivation, happiness and efficiency. A
healthy workplace environment improves productivity and reduces costs related to absenteeism,
turnover and medical claims.

2019 and after some renovation, HR, Corporate Affairs and Transmission Line Sections were shifted to
1st Floor in November 2019 resulting in a better work environment and employee motivation.
