Speaking on the occasion, SAIL Chairman said that “The WoW policy, which is a novel initiative of SAIL, aims to enable our employees to focus on more strategic roles while being away from the designated workplace and strive to invest in their professional development and healthy work-life balance”.

SAIL's Director (Personnel) KK Singh commented, “SAIL is continuously embarking on several new age HR initiatives for better employee motivation and engagement. The launching of WoW policy is a step towards this”.

In addition, SAIL has also collaborated with LinkedIn Learning Hub to facilitate a large number of its employees to undertake self-paced learning to upskill their knowledge base on various topics. This partnership with LinkedIn is aimed at bringing about sustained professional development of its workforce.
