NBC Bearings: Enabling Employees For Future Workplaces

How NBC Bearings, one of India’s leading brands in the manufacturing sector, is using the HONO platform for enhanced employee experience, addressing the problems of legacy HR systems, using a highly customised, user-friendly, mobile-first single platform.
