Abstract
This study examined the impact of compensation management on academic staff's employee
well-being in private universities in Uganda during the COVID-19 lockdown. Two
dimensions of compensation management considered were compensation determination and
compensation administration. Employee well-being was studied in terms of psychological
well-being, social well-being, workplace well-being and subjective well-being. This study
used a cross-sectional design on a sample of academic staff from five private universities.
Factor analysis was used to identify key items of compensation management and employee
well-being, followed by descriptive, correlation and multiple regression analyses. Multiple
regression analysis assessed the magnitude and strength of the impact of compensation
management on employee well-being. The results supported the hypotheses on the influence
of compensation determination and administration on employee well-being. Therefore,
compensation determination and administration are important in enhancing the academic
staff's well-being in private universities in contingent situations such as COVID-19
lockdown. In managing compensation issues in contingent situations, managers of private
universities should determine and administer compensation considering employees' interests.
This study adds to the scanty literature on compensation management and employee
wellbeing. It identifies compensation management factors that organisations should consider
to promote employee well-being in contingent situations are the principal features of the
process of an HRM system, even in cases where the organisation is operating under an
economic crisis environment.
Abstract
Reimbursement has been one of the frameworks adopted in organisations to attract, hire and
keep competent employees that will strategically key in to the firm’s vision, task and goals.
Retaining skillful employees in officialdom is imperative for the progress and enrichment of
general operation of a firm. Staff that is well motivated will strive to ensure that competitive
advantage goal of the organisation is sustained and achieved over their competitors. The aim
of this paper is to explore the association between compensation management and
employees’ motivation in the insurance sector of Nigeria. This study employed a non-
experimental design using questionnaires as a measuring instrument to gather information.
There were 250 questionnaires administered, 213 collected while 212 (84.4%) thereof were
found to be usable. By employing the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, it was
discovered that association exists between reward administration and workers’ motivation but
a weak one. It was revealed that in Nigeria insurance industry, compensation management
bears a minimal influence on the enthusiasm of workers’. It is hence recommended that
remuneration package of employees’ in the insurance industry in Nigeria should be given
12
priority by carrying out periodic review of the salary and making it at par with other
industries in the financial sector of Nigeria.
ABSTRACT
The realization of organizational objectives is in most cases achieved through the human
resource asset and there is need therefore to enhance the commitment of employees to
the organization. Hence identification of all possible factors that increase employee
commitment is of utter importance. Indeed the compensation policy is an important
element of human resource management. It influences decision of potential employee to
join an organization and determines employer-employee relationship after employee
joins the organization. The compensation policy should in addition encompass both
monetary and non-monetary rewards paid to employee in exchange of the services
rendered while taking into consideration employment contract, competence and skills.
This study aimed at establishing the influence of compensation policy on employee
commitment of selected pharmaceutical companies in Anambra state. Primary data was
collected using selfadministered questionnaire and the data was analyzed by use of
Pearson product correlation. The data was presented using simple percentage table.
Generally, the study found that pay for performance policy was the popular
compensation. It was also established that the compensation policy influences employee
commitment owing to the level of relationship established between the variables and this
led to enhanced performance, trust in management and strong relationship in the
organization. Further, the cash rewards were reflective of individual skills and effort
which included allowances for extra duties and responsibilities. The employees’
compensation included pension schemes; personal security through illness, health or
accident insurance covers; safety in work environment, financial assistance for loans,
purchase of organizational products and work life.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are provided for high performance based on the
finding of this study: This study found that compensation policy has a significant
13
relationship with employees commitment. It is therefore recommended that: 1.
Appropriate and equitable compensation policy should be designed to facilitate
increased employees commitment. 2. The policy should be assessable to all/potential
employees
Abstract
The authors reviewed more than 70 studies concerning employees' general belief that their
work organization values their contribution and cares about their well-being (perceived
organizational support; POS). A meta-analysis indicated that 3 major categories of beneficial
treatment received by employees (i.e., fairness, supervisor support, and organizational
rewards and favorable job conditions) were associated with POS. POS, in turn, was related to
outcomes favorable to employees (e.g., job satisfaction, positive mood) and the organization
(e.g., affective commitment, performance, and lessened withdrawal behavior). These
relationships depended on processes assumed by organizational support theory: employees'
belief that the organization's actions were discretionary, feeling of obligation to aid the
organization, fulfillment of socioemotional needs, and performance-reward expectancies.

Abstract
Workers who perform their occupations through platforms are becoming an increasing share
of the labour force. The debate is polarized between those arguing for platforms as an
instrument to increase flexibility and labor force participation, and those who see it as a
further mechanism to increase Non Standard Work (NSW). This debate is policy relevant
because in either case, platform participation is associated to a difference in terms of
willingness to contribute to the social security system. Nevertheless, the evidence is scant
because we lack reliable data sources. In this contribution, we use a dedicated survey to
estimate Willingness to Pay (WTP) for social security and estimate the causal impact of
14
platform participation using a selection on observable strategy. We found that platform
workers are less disposed to contribute to social security, although perception of accessibility
and adequacy are not affected. Results are robust to specifications and multiple hypotheses
testing.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the impact of organisational culture on human capital in Social
Security Corporation in Jordan; data were gathered from 150 employees working at Social
Security Corporation in Jordan. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the
research hypotheses, the results of the analysis showed that organisational culture had a
positive effect on human capital. The results also showed that trust, reward systems and trend
toward participation, had a positive effect on human capital. The results revealed that
information system dimension did not have a significant impact on human capital. In light of
these findings, study thus provide many implications of researchers and managers despite the
presence of some limitations.
Human resources are the pivot of organisational effectiveness and the greatest asset that an
organisation can possess. The retention of skilful and well equipped workforce in an
organisation is pertinent to the growth and overall performance of an organisation. The
satisfied employees’ surely contribute to the organisation to achieve its competitive
advantage over its competitors. The present study is an attempt to investigate the relationship
between compensation management and employees’ job satisfaction in Nigeria’s Insurance
15
Sector. The instrument used in information gathering was questionnaire. In all, 250
questionnaires were administered to the employees’ of an insurance company, 213 were
retrieved and 212 were found usable for response rate of 84.4%. The statistical analysis
revealed that compensation management and employees’ job satisfaction are significantly
correlated though weak and that compensation management have an impact on motivation
and job satisfaction of employees’. Implications of the study for managers in the perspective
of HR practices have been highlighted and recommendations are offered.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Identifying all possible factors that increase organizational commitment is of utter
importance to organizations as the realization of organizational goals and objectives is an
16
organization’s main purpose. There is a need therefore to motivate and enhance the
commitment of employees to the organization since they are the building blocks and driving
force of any organization. Indeed, compensation management is an important element of
human resource management because it influences the decision of potential employees to join
an organization and also determines the employer-employee relationship after employees
become a part of the organization. Compensation management should also include both
monetary and non-monetary rewards provided to employees in exchange for the work they do
or the services they render. This study aimed at establishing the impact of compensation
management on the organizational commitment. Recommendations were made that
Organisations in Nigeria such could come together and develop consistent compensation
policies that will improve organisational commitment. This could bring about consistency
and stability in the compensation management of all employees throughout organisations in
Nigeria therefore, leading to conformity in the overall level of employee commitment
experienced towards the entire organizations. Keywords: Compensation, Management,
commitment and organization

TOPIC OVERVIEW
18
Compensation Management:
Compensation Management as it is known today has been a very important source of
attracting, retaining and motivating the required human resource for any organization.
Although most employees specially at middle and senior levels claim that money does
not play a very important role in their decision to change or to stay in an organization but
in reality it is the money which motivate most of the employees .
The employees need to be compensated for the services which they render to an
organization. It is not easy to workout suitable compensation package for the employees
and keeps them satisfied. The experience is that the employees mostly remain
dissatisfied with whatever wage or salary they are paid by the employers.
Therefore, the job of wage and salary administration has been complex and subtle, and
littered with techniques to reduce the complexity and cope with the subtleties. Hence
various methods to compensate the employees have been deployed but without success.
Incentive payment schemes, at times have been considered as the answer to most
problems.
The methods of appraisal of employees have been worked out to match the performance
of the employees with proper compensation, but without complete success.
These days, the organizations are also beset with the problem of ‘take home salary’
concept. The employees are no more interested in knowing how much the company is
spending on each of them but they are keen to known how much would be available to
them in their hands.
This had brought into sharp focus the question of income tax planning. The organizations
are findings newer and newer methods to help employees in planning their tax liability or
how to minimise the tax payment by the employees. On the other hand the Government
has been finding out the loopholes in income tax structure to plug the same.
Recently, there have been a number of cases where very large organizations have been
caught for not deducting tax at source properly. As a result, today we find that the
number of components of the compensation have been increased and the nomenclature of
some of these components have been changed to keep the same out of income tax net by
the management under pressure from their employees.
19
However, these efforts have not proved very helpful to the management as it continues to
remain under stress – whether the methods being used in compensation, are part of tax
planning or tax avoidance and at the same time, is it able to satisfy the employees and
maintain positive image among its employees as well as in the society at large or not.
There is no doubt that the employees work for compensation in terms of money and their
attempt is always to maximise the same. The employees, therefore, are anxious to
minimise the income tax incidence.
The employees work for rewards and the employers seek higher productivity to keep cost
per employee low. A balance is to be struck between these two parties – employer and
employee with regard to compensation.
The compensation should be designed in such a fashion that the organization is able to
attract, motivate, and retain competent employees and at the same time the employees
perceive it fair and equitable.
The perception by the employees is important as the ratio between the input and output –
i.e., services rendered and the reward for the same in terms of compensation, will
determine the level of their satisfaction, which in turn, determine their contribution,
motivation, and retention.

motivation, and retention.
An organisation’s goals or objectives can be achieved when its employees put in their
best efforts in the right direction. Hence, they should be nurtured properly and paid well
for their work, performance, services, etc. Besides wages or salaries, organisations
provide different kinds of incentives, benefits and services to their employees.
Money paid to employees for their work in the form of gross pay is included under direct
compensation; while benefits come under indirect compensation and they may consist of
20
life, accident and health insurance, the contribution of an organisation to retirement i.e.
retirement benefits, expenses incurred for employee welfare as social security etc.
All these things are nothing but the compensation the employees receive in return for
their contribution to their organisation. From the viewpoint of an organisation,
compensation management is a major function. Compensation Management is one of the
most important topics in HRM. This is one area which needs all the attention as it can
have a direct impact on all others.
Every organisation requires suitable human resources to achieve its objectives. To get
the effective results, the employees must be paid and compensated properly even though
this is not the only motivator for the employees to work. Any unjustifiable inequality or
an unacceptably low level of reward definitely causes great dissatisfaction among
employees.
Hence, sound wage and salary policies and programmes are very essential to attract,
induct, retain and develop the employees working in the organisation in order to get the
best results from them. Wage and salary administration or compensation management is
considered as one of the vital areas of “Human Resource Management”.
Wages and salaries mean different things to different people and organisations. From the
view point of employees, white collar or blue collar, a salary or a wage is an income and
a return they get for offering their services to their organisation. From the view point of
an organisation or management, wages and salaries constitute a cost of production. A
wage or salary is a price paid to an employee for hiring his services.
21
and benefits received by the employees from their organisation as a part of their
employment relationship.
Such compensation may be received in the form of cash i.e. wages/salaries, bonus,
overtime payments, incentives (i.e. gross payment). This is called as ‘direct
compensation’. While benefits that come under indirect compensation may consist of
life, accidents and health insurance, pay for vacation or illness, retirement benefits and
so on.
Thus, in short, compensation is direct and indirect monetary benefits and rewards
received by employees on the basis of the value of the jobs, their personal contributions
and overall performance. Such rewards are given to employees by their organisation
according to the ability of the organisation to pay and the legal provisions.
1. To attract competent and qualified persons towards organization by offering fair wage
and incentive.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
6. To improve and maintain good human relation between employer and employee
through a process of payment of bonus, profit sharing and other fringes benefits.
7. To enhance the name and fame of the company through a proper system of wage
payment.
8. To ensure prompt and regular payment of wage and salary to all the employees.

Compensation – Need and Significance
Compensation refers to the rewards, an employee gets after offering his/her mental and
physical efforts, wherein he/she compares his/her worth. Any dissatisfaction may result into
a conflict or a dispute. This dissatisfaction not only affects the performance of the employee
but also imbalances the equity between human capital investment and expected returns to the
organization.
Compensation decisions have become more complex in this competitive age because of an
unbalanced demand and supply ratio. The HRM of every organization is required to make
some systems to scrutinize the wage and salary differentiations or disparities to ensure a
motivated environment in the organization.
The perceptions of employees and employers about compensation are changing and the
emphasis is being laid on how important is pay for the employees and how it affects
investment to hire competitive employees and how it compares with three main factors,
namely, job contents, work environment, and pay attraction to retain an employee.
The expensive growth of some of the sectors like IT, Telecom, BPOs and financial
institutions has triggered off huge demand for talent at all levels. The consultants and HR
professionals are continuously surveying and studying the paradigm shifts of concepts,
perceptions and the need for revising the compensation systems.
The paradigm shift from standard wage and salary to compensation or cost to the company is
clearly visible in today’s hiring practices.
The satisfaction or dissatisfaction is a gap between the expectations of an employee and the
feeling or the experience of worth. This feeling or experience is an outcome of efforts
offered to perform, comfort felt at work place, cushion for inflation in compensation, and
appreciation perceived by the employee. HRM, therefore, needs to design policy and
practices to develop willingness to work and satisfaction toward worth.
Secondly, the compensation policy and the structure must be made attractive and adjustable
so as to attract the talents, motivate the employees to use their hidden potentials, emphasize
the need of self-improvement, and most importantly to retain the employees as they are the
valuable asset to the organization.
23
Compensation Management – Compensation Consists of 4 Main
Components
Compensation is the reward or remuneration paid to the employees in return for the service
rendered. Such compensation package includes both monetary and non-monetary
components.
1. Wage or Salary
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. Incentives
1. Wage or Salary:
Wage:
The term wage refers to the remuneration paid to the workers appointed on hourly, daily or
weekly basis in return for the service rendered.
It varies according to physical and mental requirement of the job. Wage may be minimum
wage, fair wage and living wage.
i. Minimum Wage:
It is that wage which is sufficient to meet the basic need of a worker and his family. This
minimum wage has to be paid to the worker irrespective of the capacity of the industry to
pay. The Committee on fair wage has defined minimum wage as – “the wage must provide
not only for the bare sustenance of life, but for the preservation of the efficiency of the
workers. For this purpose, minimum wage must provide some measures of education,
medical requirements and amenities”.
According to committee on fair wage “fair wage is the wage which is above the minimum
wage but, below the living wage”. It is fixed between the minimum wage and capacity to
24
pay by the industry. The lower limit of the fair wage is the minimum wage; the upper limit is
set by the capacity of the industry to pay.
Thus, fair wage is determined on the basis of capacity of the industry to pay and region in
which industry is located.
It is the wage that provides some of the comforts of life. It provides certain amenities
considered necessary for the well-being of the worker. According to Fair Wage Committee
“the living wage should enable the male earner to provide for himself and his family not
merely the bare essentials of food, clothing and shelter but also a measure of frugal (using
only as much money or food as is necessary) comfort including education for children,
protection against ill health, requirements of essential social needs and measure of insurance
against the more important mis-fortunes including old age”.
Salary:
The term salary refers to remuneration paid to the employees appointed on monthly or
annual basis in return for the service rendered. Thus it refers to monthly rate of pay
irrespective of number of hours put in by employees.
It is the net amount of salary received by an employee after making all the deductions
towards the payment of income tax, LIC premium and contribution to P.F. etc.
25
Under section 3 of the Minimum Wages Act, DA is described as cost of living allowance. It
is given to protect the real wages of workers during inflation. In India it has become integral
part of the wage system.
Along with DA other allowances like City Compensatory Allowance (CCA), House Rent
Allowance (HRA), Medical Allowance (MA), Education Allowance (EA), Conveyance
Allowance etc., also form the part of compensation package.
However, inclusion of all these allowances in the compensation depends on nature and type
of job, contents of job, place of job, terms and condition of appointment, capacity of
employer etc.
3. Incentives:
Incentive is a reward paid in addition to wages whether monetary or not that motivates or
compensates an employee for performance above the standard. Payment of incentive
depends on productivity, sales and Profit of the organization.
Fringe Benefits:
Perquisites (Perks):
Perquisites also called perks are the special benefits made available only to the top
executives of an organisation. These may include company car, furnished house, stock
option scheme, club membership, paid holidays etc.
The amount of compensation received by an employee should take into account several
factors such as the amount of effort put in, competitive rates prevailing in labour market,
demand for and supply of labour, the firm’s ability to pay, labour policy, etc.
26
Let’s look into these issues more closely:
Wage increases should be given by those organisations which can afford them. Companies
that have good sales and, therefore, high profits tend to pay higher wages than those which
running at a loss or earning low profits because of the high cost of production or low sales.
In the short run, the economic influence on the ability to pay is practically nil. All
employers, irrespective of their profits or losses, must pay no less than their competitors and
need pay no more if they wish to attract and keep workers.
In the long run, the ability to pay is very important. During the time of prosperity, employers
pay high wages to carry on profitable operations and because of their increased ability to
pay. But during a period of depression, wages are cut because funds are not available.
Marginal firms and non-profit organisations (like hospitals and educational institutions) pay
relatively low wages because of low or no profits.
The labour market conditions or supply and demand forces operate at the national, regional
and local levels, and determine organisational wage structure and level.
If the demand for certain skills is high and the supply is low, the result is a rise in the price
to be paid for these skills. When prolonged and acute, these labour-market pressures
probably force most organisations to “reclassify hard-to-fill jobs at a higher level” than that
suggested by the job evaluation. The other alternative is to pay higher wages if the labour
supply is scarce; and lower wages when it is excessive.
Similarly, if there is great demand for labour expertise, wages rise; but if the demand for
manpower skill is minimal, the wages will be relatively low. Mescon says- “The supply and
demand compensation criterion is very closely related to the prevailing pay, comparable
wage and ongoing wage concepts since, in essence, all of these remuneration standards are
determined by immediate market forces and factors.”
This is also known as the ‘comparable wage’ or ‘going wage rate’, and is the most widely
used criterion. An organisation’s compensation policies generally tend to conform to the
wage rates payable by the industry and the community. This is done for several reasons.
First, competition demands that competitors adhere to the same relative wage level. Second,
27
various government laws and judicial decisions make the adoption of uniform wage rates an
attractive proposition.
Third, trade unions encourage this practice so that their members can have equal pay, equal
work and geographical differences may be eliminated. Fourth, functionally related firms in
the same industry require essentially the same quality of employees, with the same skills and
experience. This results in a considerable uniformity in wage and salary rates.
Finally, if the same or about the same general rates of wages are not paid to the employees
as are paid by the organisation’s competitors, it will not be able to attract and maintain a
sufficient quantity and quality of manpower. Belcher and Atchison observe- “Some
companies pay on the high side of the market in order to obtain goodwill or to insure an
adequate supply of labour, while other organisations pay lower wages because economically
they have to, or because by lowering hiring requirements they can keep jobs adequately
manned.”
The cost of living pay criterion is usually regarded as an automatic minimum equity pay
criterion. This criterion calls for pay adjustments based on increases or decreases in an
acceptable cost of living index. In recognition of the influence of the cost of
living, “escalator clauses” are written into labour contracts.
When the cost of living increases, workers and trade unions demand adjusted wages to offset
the erosion of real wages. However, when living costs are stable or decline, the management
does not resort to this argument as a reason for wage reductions.
The living wage criterion means that wages paid should be adequate to enable an employee
to maintain himself and his family at a reasonable level of existence. However, employers
do not generally favour using the concept of a living wage as a guide to wage determination
because they prefer to base the wages of an employee on his contribution rather than on his
need. Also, they feel that the level of living prescribed in a worker’s budget is open to
argument since it is based on subjective opinion.
6. Productivity:
28
Productivity is another criterion, and is measured in terms of output per man-hour. It is not
due to labour efforts alone. Technological improvements, better organisation and
management, the development of better methods of production by labour and management,
greater ingenuity and skill by labour are all responsible for the increase in productivity.
Actually, productivity measures the contribution of all the resource factors — men,
machines, methods, materials and management.
No productivity index can be devised which will measure only the productivity of a specific
factor of production. Another problem is that productivity can be measured at several levels
— job, plant, industry or national, economic level. Thus, although theoretically it is a sound
compensation criterion, operationally many problems and complications arise because of
definitional measurement and conceptual issues.
Trade unions do affect rate of wages. Generally, the stronger and more powerful the trade
union, the higher the wages. A trade union’s bargaining power is often measured in terms of
its membership, its financial strength and the nature of its leadership. A strike or a threat of a
strike is the most powerful weapon used by it.
Sometimes trade unions force wages up faster than increases in productivity would allow
and become responsible for unemployment or higher prices and inflation. However, for
those remaining on the payroll, a real gain is often achieved as a consequence of a trade
union’s stronger bargaining power.
8. Job Requirements:
Generally, the more difficult a job, the higher are the wages. Measures of job difficulty are
frequently used when the relative value of one job to another in an organisation is to be
ascertained. Jobs are graded according to the relative skill, effort, responsibility, and job
conditions required.
9. Managerial Attitudes:
These have a decisive influence on the wage structure and wage level since judgement is
exercised in many areas of wage and salary administration — including whether the firm
29
should pay below average, or above average rates, what job factors should be used to reflect
job worth, the weight to be given for performance or length of service, and so forth, both the
structure and level of wages are bound to be affected accordingly. These matters require the
approval of the top executives.
Lester observes “Top management’s desire to maintain or enhance the company’s prestige
has been a major factor in the wage policy of a number of firms. Desires to improve or
maintain morale, to attract high-caliber employees, to reduce turnover, and to provide a high
living standard for employees as possible also appear to be factors in management’s wage
policy decisions.”
These determine in a significant measure how hard a person will work for the compensation
received or what pressures he will exert to get his compensation increased. Psychologically,
persons perceive the level of wages as a measure of success in life; people may feel secure;
have an inferiority complex, seem inadequate or feel the reverse of all these. They may not
take pride in their work, or in the wages they get.
Therefore, these things should not be overlooked by the management in establishing wage
rates. Sociologically and ethically, people feel that “equal work should carry equal wages,”
that “wages should be commensurate with their efforts,” that “they are not exploited, and
that no distinction is made on the basis of caste, colour, sex or religion.”
To satisfy the conditions of equity, fairness and justice, a management should take these
factors into consideration.
With the rapid growth of industries, business trade, there is shortage of skilled resources.
The technological development, automation has been affecting the skill levels at faster rates.
Thus, the wage levels of skilled employees are constantly changing and an organisation has
to keep its level upto suit the market needs.
30
culture is bigger than just a single event. When a security culture is sustainable, it transforms
security from a one-time event into a lifecycle that generates security returns forever.
A sustainable security culture has four defining features. First, it is deliberate and disruptive.
The primary goal of a security culture is to foster change and better security, so it must be
disruptive to the organization and deliberate with a set of actions to foster the change.
Second, it is engaging and fun. People want to participate in a security culture that is
enjoyable and a challenge. Third, it is rewarding. For people to invest their time and effort,
they need to understand what they will get in return. Fourth, it provides a return on
investment. The reason anyone does security is to improve an offering and lower
vulnerabilities; we must return a multiple of the effort invested.
A strong security culture not only interacts with the day-to-day procedures, but also defines
how security influences the things that your organization provides to others. Those offerings
may be products, services, or solutions, but they must have security applied to all parts and
pieces. A sustainable security culture is persistent. It is not a once-a-year event,
but embedded in everything you do.
Why does an organization need a security culture? The primary answer is something that
deep down we all know. In any system, humans are always the weakest leak. Security culture
is primarily for the humans, not for the computers. The computers do exactly what we tell
them to do. The challenge is with the humans, who click on things they receive in email and
believe what anyone tells them. The humans need a framework to understand what the right
thing is for security. In general, humans within your organization want to do the right thing—
they just need to be taught.
Luckily, wherever an organization sits on the security culture spectrum, there are things that
can be done to make the culture better.
Organizations should give equal priority to both these security aspects. A recent research
study suggested breaches in physical security or cybersecurity can cost huge amounts of
money:
31
To avoid such huge losses, organizations should implement access control systems that help
monitor and protect both physical and digital assets.
Awareness is an ongoing activity, so never pass up a good crisis. Bad things are going to
happen to your organization, and many times they will be tied directly to a security problem.
Grow your security culture with these teachable moments. Do not try to hide them under the
rug, but instead use them as an example for how the team can get better.
Accountability before awareness is crazy. People want to do the right thing, so show them
through an awareness program and then hold them accountable for the decisions they make
after gaining the knowledge.
Customers across industries are starting to demand the crazy idea that organizations have an
SDL and follow it. If you do not have an SDL at this juncture, Microsoft has released most of
the details about its SDL free of charge. The lineage of many industry SDL programs traces
back to the Microsoft program.
A reasonable place for the SDL to live is within a product security office. If you do not have
a product security office, think seriously about investing in one. This office sits within
engineering and provides central resources to deploy the pieces of your security culture.
While we do not want the entire organization to farm off security to the product security
office, think of this office as a consultancy to teach engineering about the depths of security.
32
Reward and recognize those people that do the right thing for
security
Look for opportunities to celebrate success. When someone goes through the mandatory
security awareness program and completes it successfully, give them a high-five or
something more substantial. A simple cash reward of $100 is a huge motivator for people,
and will cause them to remember the security lesson that provided the money. They also will
be quick to tell five co-workers they received cash for learning, and those five will jump into
the training quickly. If you are shuddering at the idea of giving away $100 per employee, stop
being so cheap and count the cost. The return on investment on preventing just a single data
breach greatly outweighs the $100 spent.
The other side of reward is security advancement. Provide opportunities for team members to
grow into a dedicated security role through advancement. Make security a career choice
within your organization. Put your money where your mouth is. If you say security is
important, prove it by providing growth potential for those with a passion for security.

foundation for the Aditya Birla Group. He was recognized for his charitable acts and his
connection with Mahatma Gandhi.
Aditya Vikram Birla (1943–1995), the grandson of G.D. Birla, grew the group's
operations. At 24, Aditya Birla began establishing businesses abroad. In 1969, he founded 19
companies in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Egypt. Under his leadership,
the group diversified into multiple sectors such as metals, cement, textiles, and telecom.
Kumar Mangalam Birla became the chairman of the Aditya Birla Group in 1995,

Our Business
Chemicals
In 1972, Grasim’s chemicals business was set up to manufacture caustic soda for the
company’s VSF unit. Today, it is one of India’s largest caustic soda producers and is a
market leader in the chlor-alkali segment. Over the years, Grasim’s chemicals business has
created a strong foothold in the industry and offers a wide range of products from chlorine
derivatives to epoxy.
Chlor-alkali
In 2016, Grasim’s merger with Aditya Birla Chemicals India Ltd. (ABCIL) helped catapult
the company’s caustic soda capacity from 452 KTPA to 884 KTPA making it the largest
producer of caustic soda in India back then. Today, Grasim’s total caustic soda capacity is
48
1,290 KTPA. Through brownfield expansion, we plan to expand the caustic soda capacity to
1,530 KTPA from 1,290 KTPA by 2024.
The business uses cost-effective membrane cell technology and is largely self-sufficient in
power. For gainful utilisation of chlorine, the business has portfolio of chlorine derivatives
like Stable Bleaching Powder (SBP), Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC), Chlorosulphonic Acid
(CSA), Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW), Calcium Chloride (CaCl), Aluminium Chloride
(AlCl) and Chloromethane (CMS).
Epoxy
The business’ epoxy products range from basic products like liquid epoxy resins to value
added products like formulated resins, reactive diluents and hardeners. The manufacturing
complex at Vilayat houses a 123 KTPA capacity epoxy plant. Through expansion, we plan to
double the epoxy capacity to 246 KTPA by FY2024.
Paints
chieving market leadership in every segment it enters is at the core of Grasim’s business.
With this goal in foresight, it has set foot in the Indian paint industry. It aims to leverage its
existing network, scale, and Group capabilities along with decades of experience in the
building materials sector through its subsidiary UltraTech Cement.
Historically, the growth rate of the paints sector has exhibited a ~2x co-relation to India’s
GDP growth. In the last few years, the paints industry has outpaced the growth rate of the
overall industry. The market dynamic has also changed, with new capacities being announced
backed by strong growth and outlook. In the next five years, India is set to achieve the $5
trillion milestone, and we believe the paints sector would provide high growth opportunities
and contribute meaningfully to the Group’s value creation targets.
Grasim aims to be one of the biggest players in the fast-growing decorative paints industry. It
plans to set up six manufacturing plants in Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu,
Maharashtra, and West Bengal till FY 2025 with a total capacity of 1,332 MLPA and a
project cost of ₹10,000 Crore.
