Mahindra Sustainability Review 2009-2010

This year we introduced 'Star Performer Awards' in May 2010 to recognise the efforts of those who are responsible for the pedestal on which Esops stands today. The awards are conferred on both locations and individual volunteers.

The selection criterion for Esops Star performer volunteer is number of Esops man-hours put in by a volunteer in a year. The Esops Star Performer Location will be selected on the basis of % of employees participating in Esops activities and total number of Esops man-hours put in by a location in a year. The Award function is hosted as a part of Annual Mahindra Rise Awards at Mahindra Towers and star performers in the factory and non-factory categories are honoured with trophies.

To ensure fairness and transparency, the CSR department launched an online tracking system to identify the star performers. Through this online portal the performance of each location and volunteer is tracked. This portal not only helps determine the star performers but it has also become a platform for encouraging new employees to participate in Esops activities.
