However, no two companies are working on identical lines and, therefore, have different equipment and methodology to run the business according to the policy of Management/BOD.The Company has the best plant facilities, a world class operating contractor along with a compliment of trained, diligent and hardworking staff, which combines to make Tapal Energy (Pvt.)

We must know that replacing an employee can cost as much as high in some cases even up to 150% of the employee's annual salary. Therefore, the higher the salary or position, the higher the turnover would cost. At TEL, despite being an organization considered to be one of the market competitive salary payers, it is found that “Employee Turnover Ratio** had gone up to an extent which not only become an alarming situation for the management but, it also effected the operational efficiency of the Power Plant.
