Changes In ‘Human Resource’ As Profession

Human Resources being an important part of any organisation was usually related to recruitment and documentation. However things have changed after the pandemic, now HRs do think more about the employees due to several reasons like employee retention, the Gig Economy, moonlighting and trends like mass resignation.

“After quarter 2 of 2022 things change for everyone was talking about their Health, productivity, and keeping employees together. Now, In 2023 we are in the last of the 3rd quarter. It is time for introspection, the ‘Meaning’ words have changed now people are talking about their job purpose, whether it is right for them or not, People have choices. an organisation needs to introspect that what does keep your employees intact to the organisation and do you deliver the value as an organisation that you should do.” said Anjali Raghuvanshi, CPO, Randstad India.

Many Organisations now do focus on evaluating recruitment methods, identifying gaps in skill sets assess the demand and supply of talent according to their requirement. However, the above-mentioned things are usually focused towards the organisations but encouraging continuous learning and development, and urging innovation to make them drive an organization’s turnaround are the new things that Senior Hrs are looking for.

“ Now employees don’t want to stay in an organisation where they don‘t feel relevant enough and their growth is not enough. Organisations are looking to invest in learning. However, traditional methods of learning are not working, Now people learn the way they like. Talent Management can be defined as design thinking where the future is going to be led by talent. HRs have to make that experience that can trigger the excitement regarding workplace n talent” said Anjali Raghuvanshi, CPO, Randstad India.

Business models are getting challenges like the gig economy and it is also gathering momentum. The main challenge is how you define your organisation's maintenance-based, and project-based and what is your core and non-core. The employee life cycle will depend on the way you look at the employee as a gig worker non-core or part of your core business.
