Recognition of employees

Speaking at the occasion Swaroop stated that the mobile operator's decision to reward the outstanding contributions of top performing employees is in consonance with Airtel's commitment to raising the bar of employee engagement and motivation in recognition of the critical role and importance of employees in the realisation of its vision.

The Airtel Employee Communications Forum, a quarterly initiative, also provided the company an opportunity to share its operating plans for the quarter with all staff just as it created a platform to get feedback from personnel in different units of the business.
