“Creating Environment Where Employees Can Share Their Vulnerabilities”
How did you get interested in the HR field, and what have been some major milestones in your journey?
My schooling had activities where students worked on social projects or art assignments during holidays. This sparked the interest to work with people and be result oriented. I guess, this could have been one of the HR strokes that was in me.
What is your vision for HR profession, and what transformative role can it play in the success of a company?
An HR will continue to play a strategic role in articulating what’s right for the employee and employer. Creating an environment where employees can share their vulnerabilities openly and work with people who will help them sail through to good times will play a great role in enhancing EX and morale.
How should HR professionals themselves envision their contribution to the world of work?
HR professionals must envision themselves as working like the experts that experts turn to. Each stakeholder must see them as an expert who they can bank upon.
