This report is to analyze the culture inside the L&T campus on the basis ofcertain characteristics. Following are the list of characteristics along with the

feedback that received and discussed during the course of this activity.

1. Innovation & risk taking:L&T opens doors for new ideas from employees. Employees are

encouraged by rewards through many programs, run by it HR and welfaredepartments for employees so they come out with new techniques. For

example, Cost saving ideas, Safety Ideas, Environment friendly ideas etc.

L&T do not stick to the old formats, they changes it whenever necessary

through their Research and Development Department. It has waged itself

through time not only to survive but also thrive and grow global. Being an

old organization, adapting itself to the modern day corporate environment

is not easy to imagine considering such a huge structure. L&T has managed

that with preservation of its culture too.

2. Attention to detail:"I believe that in a business, where cash inflow is uncertain, a lot of

discipline is what helps L&T survive.

In L&T management pays an extra attention to the employee in

terms of the precision of the work, disciplinary measures etc. In this

organization employees are expected to exhibit precision, analysis and

attention to detail.

3. Outcome Orientation:Because of the professional behavior constructed in the L&T output

of the employee expected by management is always up to the mark. If you

are bound to your work always take initiative and complete your

responsibilities then you will be rewarded but failing to do these may lead

to strong actions.

4. Team Orientation:L&T is a team of more than 29000 L&T-ites spread across multiple

locations across the globe, having proven track record and professional

skills, woven together with a common culture of trust & caring.

L&T employees share one common feeling - of being part of one big

family and of a winning team. There is a sense of pride in belonging to afine organization - where professionalism is a way of life, where talent is

encouraged and skills honed, where individual and organizational goals

blend for mutual success.

5. People Orientation:L&T has a very strong value system, a caring and supportive culture.

It has a culture that fosters positive and healthy competition betweenindividuals and provides opportunity to learn and grow with the

organization. It was concluded by one of the World's Big Five Consultants

in a recent study conducted that L&T's culture was stronger than any of

the other companies studied by the consultant, worldwide.

6. Aggressiveness:"L&T's culture focuses on delivering customer satisfaction through

efficiently executed projects that meet the agreed-on criteria. This

demands high performance levels throughout and under tremendous time

constraints, but at the same time, even under these stressful conditions,

there exists a natural camaraderie among team and taskforce members

that eases this stress greatly and contributes to a good working

environment."

7. Stability:L&T offers employees more than a job - it offers them a lifetime

career with challenging opportunities for continuous development and

growth in diverse fields of business. Ie. L&T cares for the organizations

growth as well as individual employee.
