HPCL West Zone has organised a two-day workshop on the New Labour Codes, focusing on statutory compliance and the practical implications of the evolving labour-law framework. The initiative highlights the importance of keeping organisations, employees and compliance teams aligned with changes in labour regulations.
Such workshops provide an important platform for understanding regulatory requirements, discussing implementation challenges and strengthening compliance practices across an organisation. For a large public-sector enterprise, effective awareness of labour-related provisions is particularly important for maintaining transparent workplace practices and ensuring that statutory responsibilities are properly addressed.
