Introduction

Keystone Group started its construction activities in Mumbai.

In 1996 and rapidly rose to be a premiere construction company
due to its uncomprising commitment to the highest level of quality
construction as well as its consistency in delivery schedules .
Today, they figure amongst the leaders in the industry as they have
continuously adapted to the rapid changes and challenges,
by making use of latest technological developments. The company
has kept its self abreast of the technological up gradation systems.
The landmark projects constructed by the company provide eloquent
evidences of its versatile capabilities and unflinching commitment to
the customers requirements Invariably including the deadlines which
might otherwise seem difficult. The group has adopted its values in its
everyday functions, of never to substitute price for quality, to operate a
team workers with its customers and strive to be performance leaders in
every dimensions of the business it undertakes. The group has always
strived to achieve goal of 100% satisfied customer base.
Keystone group has till date launched, completed and delivered,
residential complex, premium homes and educational institutions.
They guess most Indian Construction companies havent yet explored the
plausible advantages that Human Resources (HR) could provide them in the
long term . Of late, they do see a paradigm shift towards corporatisation of
business across the spectrum . Several companies have launched well planned
HR initiatives to attract / retain / motivate and develop human resources .
At Rustomjee , they have already done a fair amount of work in this area ,
and are committed to take our preliminary HR breakthroughs to the next
7

levels of people effectiveness .

They believe that there are only two assets to be focused on : Brand &
People .
If companies can remain focused on these two critical issues , they are bound to
create , spawn , multiply , value many folds . Rustomjee is a success story in the
making ; it has evolved into a trusted brand on account of its focused approach .
Today , consumers associate them with the values they deliver quality and
dependability , and it has been possible because of their people centric approach .
HR Initiatives
Due to the sustained HR initiatives taken in the past , today ,

the company has fully implemented robust Performance Management System

encompassing elements like Goal setting , Self Appraisals , Reviews , Potential
Assessment , Compensations with Linkages and Development Focus With a
dynamic internal customer satisfaction

measurement and assurance system in place , the company does keep a tab
on efficacy of the various people initiatives , and its impact on the Corporate
Culture .
Corporate Culture
They understand culture as the way they do, what they do . Of course
, whatever they do is governed by values and their stakeholders belief in them .
At regular intervals they appreciate / reward and recognize staff contribution ,
thus reinforce values . The HR practices that they have put in place lays strong
emphasis on infusion of the right values ; and in order to facilitate the
implementation process they often combine HR programmes with celebrations .
This culture help them balance people and task orientation .
Their work culture is people orientation . Their work culture and focused on
performance . Mistakes are tolerated . Dishonesty , of any kind is immediately
punished. Performance is demanded . Opportunities , aplenty are offered to non
performers , so they eventually improve . The focus is on promoting discipline .
They believe In reinforcing values rather than enforcing them.
Attrition Problems
8

The brand value and reputation the company presently enjoys at the
market place helps attract the best talent . Their people oriented HR policies
ensure that they not only retain the best , but also provide them with adequate
opportunities to grow with the company . On a day - to - day basis ,it is their
culture of tackling even the most critical business issues by putting people first
that differentiates them from the rest . At Rustomjee , they work together as one
big
family , and it is the people - to - people interaction that helps mitigate risks and
capitalise on opportunities . As responsible members of the family, each
individual is accountable to the family .
Vision 2012

They strongly believe that people should have a larger purpose in mind ,
and it should purpose in mind , and it should motivate them to give their best .
The larger purpose (Goals) should be clearly defined , and everyone in the
company should strive to achieve it. Having a clear Corporate Vision helps
the company evolve its own business strategies and strategic objectives .
This invariably leads to Goal Setting , which in turn facilitate the process
of ensuring commitment from people . This is the reason why they organize
several programmes to familiarise their employees with their vision 2012.

the inputs of the reviewer may be sought by the appraisee
or appraiser

derived .
Section 7 : Target Setting for the next year

test to ensure that the goal remain relevant and meaningful

will ensure that KRAs remain Specific , Measurable ,
Agreed , Realistic and Time bound .
4 8 KRAs , together , is expected to address 80% of the

38

role requirements and time spent .

A goal will have a Measure of Performance (MOP) & level of
Performance (LOP)
To illustrate : A measure of performance may be cost reduction or
estimated cost or sales revenue or customer satisfaction .
It needs to be a measurable parameter .
An LOP is promised level of performance which is
considered 100% (e.g. 15 cost reduction from the estimated cost of
construction , where 15 is 100% & any negative or positive
variation will show a decrease or increase in the target achieved )
Discussions & deliberations between the Appraiser and
Appraisee on the KRAs is a must to have a shared understanding .
An agreement is desirable .
Weightages need to be assigned to each goal and total of weightages
to be 100 . Responsibility lies with the Appraisee .
