Tata Steel has taken action against 38 of its employees for breaching the company’s code of conduct, said chairman N Chandrasekaran at Tata Steel's annual general meeting (AGM) on Wednesday.

The company took action against its employees based on complaints received by several whistleblowers on issues such as misuse of authority, conflict of interest, and contract management agreements. Tata Steel received a total of 875 complaints last fiscal year, 158 were related to whistleblowers, 48 were regarding safety and 669 were on HR and other behavioural issues, said TOI quoting Chandrasekaran. On receiving many complaints, Chandrasekaran has said that it is a good thing and this is because of the ‘open culture’ created by the company. He added that the employees are encouraged to record their grievances.
