A new communication initiative with a view to engage and involve employees of Bhilai Steel Plant, the flagship unit of the Steel Authority of India Ltd in the ongoing excellence and quality movement was started by Business Excellence department with the launching of a monthly e magazine “Spark”.

The first issue of the magazine was formally launched by Mr MSR Rai ED (MM) on Wednesday last week. In the present business scenario, organizations need to learn, unlearn and relearn at breath taking pace and be nimble and agile to survive and thrive amidst the fierce competition. Organizations, therefore, have to deploy multiple communication and development channels for employee engagement and competence building.

A statement of the Plant informed that “In tune with the magazine’s bye line To spark and sustain Individual and Organizational transformation, the magazine will feature informative articles and inputs on organizational development and useful insights for managers to hone their skills and abilities.”

It will also provide a platform for sharing best practices among various departments of Bhilai Steel Plant as well as other organisations and for debating on themes which are important for individual and organisational transformation.

In its first issue the magazine features articles on Quality Management system by AK Kundu DGM (BE), Excellence in Maintenance through ERP by Puneet Sharma AGM (ERP) a case study of SMS 1 regarding substitution of raw material by M Ravi GM (SMS 1), an article on Decision making by SPS Jaggi GM (BE) and interesting quiz and crossword related to business and management.
