Oriental Insurance In-House Disorder
Anurag Gangal
July 21, 2009
This is a case of utter exploitation of women and other employees in a public corporation serving millions and millions of clients through offering insurance policies. Chairman and Managing Director of the Oriental Insurance Company (OIC) is involved in promotional, selection and appointment related bungling at various levels apparently due to his diversified political commitments – away from his necessary professional performance.
The concerned CMD Mr M. Ramadoss is not available to the Press and mediapersons for comments and interview for this purpose.
For example, among others, Mrs T. Ranjan, Deputy Manager, OIC is suffering all kinds of torture at the hands of aforesaid CMD despite her 25 years of dedicated and exemplary service to the OIC.
Former Deputy Mayor of Delhi also earlier wrote to the then concerned Union Minister about this matter.
Even the General Secretary of General Insurance Officers All India Association (GIOAIA) Ashok Sharma has also, recently in the month of July 2009 only, written a letter and representation to CMD in order to point out above mentioned anomalies, injustices and gross violation of rules and norms in promotions, selections and appointments.
Ashok Sharma has pointed out the following points in his representation to the CMD:
That the examination process which smacks of anarchism and nihilism may be abolished.
The existing process of examination -- managed, or rather say mismanaged and manipulated by ´GIPSA´ -- has made a mockery of the basic reason why this kind of promotion process was envisaged.
The TMP should be rationalised and mooted towards motivation of work-force and not vice-versa
In the marketing channel the deserving and capable officers should be promoted motivated and provided with due incentives so that all their energies and potential are geared towards bringing about better business in terms of quality and quantity rather than their minds being continually occupied by trivial issues like an unguided promotional policy and TMP etc.
All issues concerning matters about the betterment of workforce should be transparent and at no point of time should our officers feel cheated and be trapped in the existing administrative system of the company.
Concerned CMD is, however, not ready to listen to OIC employees´ call and appeal for justice at all.
Can such an in-house disorder serve its clients properly? This is a question general public is asking about Oriental Insurance Company under the leadership of Mr M. Ramadoss.
