Mumbai. In a heartwarming gesture this Diwali, a Chennai-based company, Team Detailing Solutions, surprised its employees with 29 cars and 28 bikes as gifts. The company, which specializes in structural steel design and detailing services, rewarded its dedicated workforce for their hard work and contributions to the business. The cars gifted include popular models from Hyundai, Tata, Maruti Suzuki, and even luxury models like Mercedes-Benz. The bikes were similarly chosen based on employee preferences, ensuring a special surprise for each recipient.
A Gesture of Appreciation
Team Detailing Solutions, which employs around 180 people, has gained attention for this generous Diwali gesture. The company’s Managing Director, Sridhar Kannan, emphasized that the gifts were a way of recognizing and rewarding the tireless efforts of the employees. "We wanted to show our appreciation for their dedication and hard work, which has played a crucial role in the company’s success," Kannan said. The company took into account both the performance of the employees and the number of years they had worked at the firm. Kannan added, "Our employees have demonstrated extraordinary commitment and dedication. We are proud of their achievements, and these gifts are just one way to express our gratitude."
Realizing Dreams
The Managing Director also revealed that many of the employees selected for the car and bike gifts had always dreamed of owning such vehicles. "Buying a car or a bike is like a dream for many of our employees. We know that they are motivated by such rewards, and we wanted to make those dreams come true," he said. This isn't the first time Team Detailing Solutions has gifted vehicles to its staff. In 2022, the company made headlines by gifting cars to two senior employees, and this year, it expanded the initiative significantly, adding more employees to the list of recipients.
Beyond Vehicles: A Commitment to Employee Well-being
In addition to gifting cars and bikes, the company has also introduced other employee benefits. Kannan shared that Team Detailing Solutions offers financial assistance for employees getting married. The company provides a wedding gift of Rs 1 lakh as a token of support for its staff, a significant increase from the earlier amount of Rs 50,000. "We believe in taking care of our employees not just professionally but personally as well. This assistance helps them during one of the most important phases of their lives," Kannan explained.
Setting an Example in Employee Recognition
With this move, Team Detailing Solutions has set an example of how companies can go beyond traditional incentives to recognize and reward their workforce. By offering gifts that fulfill personal aspirations and offering financial support in personal milestones like marriage, the company is showcasing a deeper commitment to the well-being of its employees. In an industry where employee retention and satisfaction are critical, this gesture stands out as a thoughtful and inspiring approach to fostering loyalty and motivation. The company's innovative and people-centric approach is sure to leave a lasting impression on both its employees and the wider business community.
