IFFCO-Tokio General Insurance hires 400 during the lockdown and rolled out annual increments
Iffco Tokio General Insurance has on-boarded 400 staff between March and May during the lockdown period.

The hiring has been for sales and distribution positions in tier I to tier IV places and a few of the candidates have been anticipated to work out of single-particular person places of work. They additionally participated in a web-based induction coaching program via a cellular studying app — iLeap. The firm has organized to have laptops delivered to the staff and most have begun working remotely.

We also trained them digitally during the lockdown so that they are ready to be in the market as and when the norms are relaxed.”
