Our HR practices At Adani, we are driven by guardrails on how we manage employees; we periodically check on whether our people are working effectively, leading to timely course correction. Our protocol covers employees from they start working with us to when they leave. We do not just examine how well employees address their jobs; we ensure that they are happy, living well, and growing culturally as well. Our goal is to make sure that the way we manage our people matches our business aspirations.
