Way Ahead
Like every other industry GSK is also hit by the Global Economic Crises and well as latest DPCO guidelines. Looking for putting employees in the field directly without formal induction. Small on the field induction to be given by ABM to employee field ready. Looking forward for having regional training managers at regional to address to regional needs. Looking forward for regional inductions at regional HQs instead of one centralized induction at Mumbai. Decreasing the number of days of induction without decreasing the quality of content.
