IN line with SAIL's ambitious plan to be a leaner and cost-competitive organisation, the Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) has been asked to prepare a five-year 'strategic workforce roadmap' (SWR) from 2025-26.
Under the initiative, RSP's manpower is likely to be pruned to 5,000-6,000 from the present 11,800 employees comprising nearly 9,350 non-executives, 1,700 executives, 780 mines employees along with 12,000 contractual workers.
In a letter to the director-in-charge of RSP Alok Verma on February 11, director (personnel) of SAIL KK Singh said latest developments in the steel sector has created the urgent need to work out long-term strategies to enhance workforce efficiency with adoption of advanced models, leverage technology and utilise strategic outsourcing to become a leaner and cost-competitive organisation.
