What is your vision for HR profession, and what transformative role can it play in the success of a company?
HR plays a pivotal role for the organisation in terms of anchoring and driving key metrics, transformations and driving business efficacy. Being a strategic advisor, we share a neutral advice for the growth of the organisation while realising the truest potential of people.
How did you get interested in the HR field, and what have been some major milestones in your journey?
I had moved from engineering to Human Resources and have always stayed in and around engineering companies since then. Being able to have a deep connect and passion for mobility kept me going in this field. Being able to drive organisations through transformative change in a complex and ambiguous environment is something which I enjoyed.
How should HR professionals themselves envision their contribution to the world of work?
Keeping an undivided attention on the outcome, thinking long term and considering all aspects before arriving at the decision. Business acumen is a key to know and then contribute positively to the organisation.
Kindly share some path-breaking initiatives by your team.
I would like to point to the transformative journey to drive towards the culture of excellence through our ‘7 behaviours’. We implemented an organisation- wide 360 degrees for development all the way, from a fresher to the top leaders and then driving the development through the focused Individual Development Plan. This has been an integral part of our approach and the outcomes are distinctively seen in results. The organisation has become more reflective in the process.
