New Delhi: Air India on Friday revised salaries and designations of its non-flying staff based in India to bring them in alignment with the ‘market standards’ and ‘promote efficiency’ within the airline.
The carrier has a total of about 16,000 employees: 7,000 are non-flying staff while 9,000 are flying staff such as pilots and cabin crew members. The company had revised the salary structure for flying staff in April.
The airline's chief executive officer (CEO)and managing director (MD) Campbell Wilson said on Friday: "The new grades and designations have been arrived at after a comprehensive formal job evaluation to assess the size and complexity of each role, which have then been benchmarked against external companies so that the grade and associated compensation is aligned with market standards."
Additionally, Air India is introducing a performance-linked variable pay component in line with its drive to become more performance-oriented and meritocratic, he told employees through a message, which has been reviewed by Business Standard.
"This variable component will be directly linked to both the company’s and each individual’s performance in a financial year, and will be based on clearer job descriptions that provide well-defined goals, KPIs (key performance indicators) and accountabilities," Wilson added.
The revised salary structures and designations will be applicable from April 1, 2023, onwards. The Tata Group had, on October 8, 2021, won the bid to acquire Air India from the government. The conglomerate took over the airline on January 27, 2022.
After Wilson's message, the airline' chief human resources officer Suresh Dutt Tripathi issued a circular, saying, “The contemporary organisation structure with new roles and designations has been designed to provide clarity on lines of accountability, promote efficiency, cross-functional collaboration and ample growth and advancement of our employees".
