BSNL’s HR policy a total disaster: Employee group

NEW DELHI: The human resource (HR) policy and inability to disburse timely salaries by the state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is a total failure, and that despite a third of its revenue is spent on salary outgo after the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS), a Delhi-based employee union Thursday said.

“The situation has deteriorated during the last one year, and it seems the organisation is no more employee-friendly. Delayed salary is one issue which is sending a wrong signal to the market,” P Abhimanyu, general secretary of the BSNLEU told ETTelecom.

“BSNL management’s HR policy is a total disaster. On the one hand, the employees are totally demoralised and demotivated due to the non disbursement of salary on time. On the other hand, even the HR issues which do not involve any expenditure to the company, have not been settled for more than one and half years,” BSNL Employee Union in a letter dated January 28, 2021 to chairman PK Purwar said.
