felt the need for a uniform code understood by employees worldwide.
 Policy has resulted in a vigilant employee force where everyone is
accountable.
 Transparency helps companies to redefine processes and make
improvements.
Message To Employees:
“We care about you, we are with you and you are not at the mercy of
anyone in the organization.”

13. Need of HR specialized employees in Lupin Limited
can be felt through this:

14. Some Issues & their Solutions:
Issue: Most individuals, after a few years of experience in the research area, leave
jobs to pursue further studies in order to secure a PhD.
Solution:
Enabling a PhD degree for them while concurrently working within the company
definitely serves as a retention tool in the long term.
Introduction of the PhD program at the Lupin Research Park.
Issue: Learning more and more is the need of an hour for a scientist.
Solution: Building learning as an organisational value has helped Lupin achieve the
same with greater ease, as this quality percolates to everyone.
An additional emphasis is laid on providing opportunities for academic learning and
participation in seminars etc.

15. Extracting Benefits from PhD Programmes:
 Lupin's PhD programme also works as a more productive way of deploying assets
as it finds a “Congruence between the interests of the employee, company and the
university.”
 Considering that all our researchers are in the domains we are operational in, their
PhDs are also in the areas of our interest, and thus in turn help benefit one and all
in this association.
 As it is a Lupin initiative, the Intellectual Property (IP) generated out of the
collaboration will be owned by Lupin, thus adding to the Return on investment
(RoI) of such industry-academia partnerships.
