Autonomy and entrepreneurship: We believe in providing autonomy to our employees and let them discover their potential while working for Ranbaxy.

Employee Development

Employees represent what a company stands for. The value an organisation produces is unequivocally linked to collective efforts of its people. We at Ranbaxy realize that the growth of the company can be sustained through the continuous development of people who contribute to the business success. Hence we focus our attention to harness the innate potential each individual brings to the organisation.

Identifying Potential

While the initial years in the career of a Ranbaxy manager is used in developing the professional skills, the focus changes as a person moves to the middle management level. Here leadership potential becomes critical. We have a robust process of identifying potential in individuals. Each of our middle level managers goes through a process that clearly identifies their strengths, development areas and aspirations for the future. This is supported by a structured process of development, which includes movement within the organisation.

Building Leaders Across the Organisation

We believe that every individual can be a leader and leadership is not a domain of the people at the top. Accordingly the Ranbaxy Leadership Model focuses on strengthening the leadership qualities across the organisation and quite early in the individual's career. The Model prepares individuals first to deal with 'the self' and then with 'others'. As the manager matures, the model facilitates the individual to become a business leader by understanding and appreciating the multiple facets of business. Finally managers of Ranbaxy are prepared to lead and drive change - an ultimate test of a person's leadership skills

In addition, as an employee of Ranbaxy, you can expect to be trained in the latest developments in your respective field of functional excellence. Our Strategic Learning Partners support the development initiatives at Ranbaxy and are themselves leading names / institutions in the world of people development

The Management Trainee Programme

In order to bring consistent growth, sustainability and novelty to our business operations  we at Ranbaxy follow a special “Management Trainee Programme”.   

This programme aims at developing and nurturing young talents identified from premier Management Institutes of the country and trains them to excel in their respective area of specialization through on-job-trainings. Both behavioral and Functional trainings are imparted to them.  They are put into diverse fields of businesses and challenging assignments which enables them to be fully prepared to tackle any business challenges of tomorrow thereby moulding them to be our future leaders.    Care has also been taken to provide them with ample opportunities for their personal and professional development.

Management Trainees are provided with live projects which expose them to the various facets of business realities.   They are not only under rotation in different fields of activities during their tenure but also work in Cross Functional Teams exposing them to deal with inter-related, complex and critical activities of business.   Specific project assignments are also given under supervision and guidance of senior management members and periodic progress is monitored.   They are also given inter-location trainings to get them familiarized with in-depth understanding of the functions at various stages of the business activity.  

Throughout the process, hand-holding and guidance of Global OD Function ensures all management Trainees make most out of their unique learning experience.  After successful completion, a special evaluation committee constituted conducts merit driven evaluation of their results and performance under different projects.  Based on their overall performance of the entire training period, they are regularized as  Managers and accommodated into various departments of the organization.  This unfolds the second phase of their journey of learning and achievements.
