New HR Policy &Orientation Supports Staff

An orientation session on Human Resources was conducted by Udayan’s HR Advisor, for all the staff members of Udayan – walking staff through Udayan’s new HR Manual & Policy which was distributed to everyone on the day.  Through participatory methodology, staff members were made aware of various HR policies and benefits along with the importance of Human Resource Policy of Udayan. During the session, the Udayan Code of Conduct, leave allowances, ethics, values and decorum were discussed with all the staff members.

The new HR Policy & Manual is the result of a great deal of work by GB Members and Udayan’s Director Dipak  Sahu, who drafted multiple versions with inputs by our HR Advisor.  A strong HR Policy helps staff feel supported and clear about their work with any organization and is the backbone of any HR function.

The Manual also outlined a list of the core values of the organization – values which were carefully defined by Udayan staff in an interactive workshop back in 2019.

             Values that guide our actions, decisions and relationships:

•        Integrity: The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.

Integrity is at the heart of everything we do at Udayan.  Our honest, transparent approach helps us foster trust – among the families whose children we care for, and the donors who have invested with us.

•        Learning: The process of acquiring new, or modifying existing, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences.

We embrace a culture of learning at Udayan.  A willingness to learn is integral to the education, skill and personality development of our children, and our staff and board members also learn and evolve on their Udayan journey.

•        Productive: The act of working hard to achieve a significant result.

We are productive in our work and days, and take a ‘results & goal’ oriented approach to generating outcomes at Udayan.

•        Discipline: Abiding by rules, routines and displaying self-discipline

Discipline is essential to life at Udayan.  Following organization rules and being self-disciplined in our day to day activities helps us live and work in an effective way.

•        Love: Affection for one another.

Love and kindness lie at the heart of Udayan.  We love and care for children from difficult, leprosy affected backgrounds, and exhibit kindness to one another in our service to them.

•        Unity: The state of being united or joined as a whole.

We are a special family at Udayan, and we act with unity and solidarity as a result.
