As intimated in the morning after going through the letter of AIGETOA, Director HR called GS AIGETOA and discussed on the daily diary app.
He appreciated the concerns raised by AIGETOA and told that he shall be issuing a clarification to all CGMs about the apprehensions raised by the association. He told that this app will work as a feedback mechanism only. He said he is open to making necessary changes in the APP also to rename it as “BSNL Samvad App”.
More discussions followed in the afternoon when PGM SR called the General Secretary of AIGETOA and SNEA. Thereafter based on the inputs suggested by Association, a draft was finalized and agreed.
Now the App is delinked from APAR and made optional with no linkage to APAR and targets anymore. The daily dairy is an optional thing now. The feedback system is incorporated. The KPI entry is categorically mentioned as optional. Edit option is given. Furthermore no weightage in APAR for diary update.
Thereafter both GSs had brief meeting with CMD BSNL and he categorically mentioned that intent is constructive and intended towards getting the actual feedback from employees. He assured that this app is not at all for linking performance and salary or APAR.
Accordingly Restructuring Cell shall be issuing a modification on the above lines.
We extend our thanks to Hon’ble CMD BSNL, Hon’ble Director HR and Hon’ble PGM SR.
