“Today, we have over 300+ employees who have worked with us through this journey to bring us to the position we are at today. Our employees are our family and when we looked at the best practices globally, we decided we had to come up with some of our own that set benchmarks for the industry, just like we did for the EVs. We truly understand the needs and wants of people through different life stages and we want to give them exactly what motivates them to be aligned with the company's goals. Hero Care is therefore not just a program, but a plan to help each one of our family members thrive and succeed in an environment that respects each one of them,” as commented by Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric.
