“At RBL we believe in Total Employee Involvement in each and every aspect of the business. We strive towards providing an environment of trust and bringing new dimensions at our work place to create an environment in which one can contribute and have a sense of achievement too,” says P S Rao, President, RBL.
RBL was rated on pillars such as employee trust, pride, engaging work environment, open communication, innovative training programs and leadership development opportunities. These are some of the key aspects that make it one of the top places to work. A pivotal value at RBL is the appreciative culture that creates an engaging work environment. A practice towards this value is that RBL employees exchange smiley cards as a token of gratitude, respect and thanksgiving across shop-floor and function levels unbound by hierarchy or reporting structures. On similar lines is the ‘Subodhyam’, a daily intra-team morning meeting for information sharing and open appreciations.

Our focus is on inspiring the best of talents to take on challenging assignments, and promoting a spirit of intrapreneurship”, says R Venkatanarayanan, President – Human Resources, Rane Group.
