RE.:     TMP Exercise for the year 2014-2015 for Class I

This is in reference to the instruction issued by the Corporate HRM to various Regional Heads regarding exercise of TMP for the year 2014-2015 for officers from scale I to scale-IV. 

The Transfer Mobility Policy devised earlier stipulated that a certain percentage of officers posted at a particular station exceeding normal period of posting were supposed to be transferred.  But we understand, since last year some changes have been effected in TMP which however was not communicated to the Unions nor the said change was displayed in the Corporate HRM module of   Company’s  Portal.   May we request you to please let us know the necessity of shifting from the earlier policy .  It may be recalled that on various occasions in the past it has been made explicit that mere transfer for transfer sake without looking into the actual requirement of respective offices under a particular R.O. is not at all conducive to the interest of customer services.  There were many instances which were brought to the notice of Corporate HRM that due to the mechanical implementation of TMP some of the offices had starved of the required   man - power whereas there were posting of excess number of officers   in some other offices.  We hope that when the Company is on path of achieving record growth in terms  of premium income, manpower planning should be appropriately devised based on requirement of each R.O.  Mere centralization of man-power planning may  not be helpful and New India as a Company  ‘ Beyond Leadership  ‘  should be a pioneer  in devising and implementing such  manpower planning to ensure sustained growth in the days ahead.

I am confident, you will also agree mere displacement by way of transfer from one place to another without looking into the actual need would invariably lead to wastage of precious manpower and ultimately productivity will suffer. Needless to add that huge amount of expenditure results in such erratic transfers which can very well be avoided with a prudent act on the part of the Management.

Further,  it is worth mentioning that such transfer in the middle of the academic year invariably cause harassments not only to the officers alone but to the children and  the members of the family  as well resulting disturbance to the  education , since admission to the new schools/colleges  during the mid –     academic sessions is hardly a smooth process . We always suggest  that TMP, if at all required, should be  implemented by end of MARCH – APRIL  each year.

                

Hence, we demand that TMP exercise for the year 2014-15 be withheld  and once again request you to review the whole process.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(SUJIT BAGCHI)
