Resistance to change is the main issue, Says Syed Mukkarram Hussain Jafri (Former GM HR NTDC)

IEEEP invited Syed Mukkarram Hussain Jafri (Former GM HR NTDC) to discuss his stint in Pakistan's largest power sector SOE i.e. NTDC and the circumstances leading to his subsequent unceremonious exit.

IEEEP is grateful to Syed Mukkarram Hussain Jafri for his candid conversation with the channel.

Mukkaram sb was a thorough gentleman. I met him several times in 2022 regarding a deputation case. He was a strong supporter of NTDC's deputation policy and fought for its revival in the Board of Directors. Secondly, coming from outside the usual WAPDA HR environment, he did not possess the typical arrogance often seen in our HR officers (with a few exceptions), especially towards engineers.

Termination Clause in Appointment Letters/ Contracts which states services termination "Without Cause" should be termed as unethical simply because it is against the spirit and sense of Law. Termination "Without Cause" is mostly used and abused as a victimisation tool by Senior Management against employees due to their personal liking and disliking. Termination "Without Cause" should only be applicable in following 03 conditions: 1. Loss Making Company. 2. Closure of Business Segment. 3. Post Abolish due to Restructuring. Termination "With Cause" is fine because it is a violation of Code Conduct e.g. Integrity, Character and Performance etc. Due process of natural justice is followed in services termination "With Cause" in the form of Inquiry, Personal Hearing and Penalty so that nobody is condemned unheard!
