TALENT MANAGEMENT A key initiative within this strategy is EDGE (Enhanced Development and Growth Experience), an active talent pool designed to nurture high-potential mid-career professionals, creating a seamless progression into the MALT program. EDGE participants undergo a multi-faceted development journey that includes sprint coaching, executive education, global study missions, and leadership-focused modules. Mahindra adopts a well structured and strategic approach to Talent Management, ensuring the identification, cultivation, & deployment of the right talent across the organization.

Initiatives such as the Women Mentoring Program provide women in managerial roles with expert guidance and coaching from senior leaders, helping them navigate career growth and achieve professional success. PREVENTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORKPLACE (POSH) Awareness in this area has been created by a POSH campaign reiterating Mahindra's commitment to providing a safe workplace for all its employees. During the year, the Company organized sensitization and awareness programs through inductions training for new joinees, sending emailers, creating standees and posters to sensitize all employees to conduct themselves in a professional manner. Internal Complaints Committee members were trained on Capability and Skill Building. POSH Policy is translated in 8 vernacular languages. TRANSFORMATIONAL WORK CULTURE Mahindra’s Transformational Work Culture initiative seeks to foster an engaged and empowered workforce while building an innovative and competitive shop-floor ecosystem. Efforts under this initiative include cultivating self-managed teams and introducing training programs such as 'Nayi Soch - Naya Drishtikon', which focus on mindset transformation for cell members, union leaders, line officers, and their families. Structured engagement calendars have been implemented to strengthen trust and fairness across workforce categories, alongside programs like i4 Idea Generation, the Rise Award, and the Employee of the Year recognition, all aimed at fostering collaboration and rewarding excellence. As part of our commitment to governance and ethical conduct, all employees participate in training sessions covering the Code of Conduct, POSH, Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption, and Human Rights. Mahindra invests in capability-building initiatives to ensure employees are equipped with future-ready skills. Specialized training programs prepare employees for emerging technologies such as robotics, mechatronics, auto electric diagnostics, and electric vehicle technologies, while others focus on improving life skills, personal presence, and transitioning from academia to industry.
