Across the world, 1st May is celebrated as International Labour Day. It recognises the efforts of people who work on the floor of factories or are engaged in field work. At AM International, our group companies marked the occasion by acknowledging the contributions of the teams at the core of their manufacturing processes and reiterating the group’s commitment to fairness, well-being and safety of its people.
Fairness in Conduct
AM International believes that employee well-being is much more than what is mandated by the regulations. We strive to provide equal opportunities and an environment where all employees are respected, valued and empowered to grow. Our compensation structures are designed to be fair, transparent, and performance-driven.
We believe that fairness is not a one-time policy; it is an ongoing commitment.
Upskilling: The Need of the Hour
At our companies, we recognise the importance of upskilling our people to stay abreast and relevant in the changing times.
We provide structured learning to floor staff, thus paving the way for their growth within the organisations. We also conduct digital literacy programmes and advanced equipment training regularly.
Recently, Tamilnadu Petrochemicals Limited (TPL) hosted a team of engineers at its plant to understand industrial instrumentation. The session provided an overview of the plant’s safety systems and processes and then proceeded to a more technical discussion. The visiting team of engineers was impressed with the comprehensive learning experience and practical insights gained during the visit.
No Compromise on Health and Safety
Since the past five decades, AM International has embedded a culture of maintaining the highest health and safety standards for its employees and floor staff.
Regular inspection of safety equipment, educating the floor staff about emergency evacuation and first-aid measures are some of the exercises conducted regularly.
Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited (TFL) recently conducted a safety awareness session to strengthen the preparedness of its fire and safety response team. The training was also extended to students from a technical college in Tuticorin.
The training covered the key aspects of fire and industrial safety—empowering participants to recognise hazards, prevent accidents, and respond effectively in emergencies.
Social Welfare for a Better Society
As part of our social welfare initiatives, we strive to promote the emotional and social well-being of our employees, their families, and the community as a whole.
Towards this goal, SPIC organised a rural sports event drawing participation from over 2,500 individuals. The event emphasised the power of sports to bring bring people together and strengthen community ties.
Manali Petrochemicals Limited (MPL) organises a monthly event – “SHFT” (Session on Health and Fitness) for raising awareness about health and well-being among the employees. A recent session on “Beat the Heat” emphasised the importance of hydration, being mindful of internal and external environmental conditions, and engaging in physical activity consistently. Likewise, TPL hosted “Health 2.0: Risks Due to Obesity” to engage employees in conversations on obesity – the causes, the health challenges, and simple strategies for prevention.
A Culture of Care, Driven by Values
As we reflect on our growth over the years, we are reminded of the efforts of our teams on the floor and in the field who have made this possible. We thank them for their contributions to the growth and success of our group.
AM International remains committed to our goals of growth, fairness, health, safety and well-being of our employees.
