APSEZ implemented ENRICH to enhance capabilities, aiming to establish a mutual understanding of increased expectations between promoted employees and their reporting managers. It identifies capability building needs to handle new responsibilities. To achieve this, all candidates for promotion are required to undergo KF4D assessments, the results interpreted in a session for promoted employees, where their strengths and development areas are identified. The HR team assists reporting managers and promoted employees in creating 70- 20-10 developmental plans. The ENRICH mission provides structure and direction to promoted employees, enabling them to transition into new roles and manage additional responsibilities. Some 200 (6.6%) employees had Individual Development Plans (IDPs) prepared for them under this programme. ESG Report 2022-23 139 138 Adani Group
