Human Resource Management

The most successful companies consider their HR teams to be partners in the business. As workplaces become increasingly diverse today, the focus of HR is shifting from traditional Employee Engagement models to the more holistic model of Employee Experience (EX) and thus driving companies to new heights. As per an HBR article, it was found that the organizations that invested most heavily in EX benefitted most with more than 4 times the average profit and more than 2 times the average revenue. Meet Bengaluru based Payal Nambiar, General Manager, HR, at Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited, who has been a pioneer in ushering innovation and creativity in delivering transformational EX to keep her organization ahead of the competition. She was recently honoured with 100 HR Super Achievers Award during the 26th edition of WHRD held in Mumbai.

Companies today need to be adaptive, resilient, quick to change and be extremely customer-focused to become successful in the rapidly transforming business environment. Moreover, the presence of skilled, motivated and engaged workforce is critical for the success of any organization. Working in such a dynamic environment means the role of HR becomes even more crucial and complex today. Be it a Coach, Counsellor, Employee advocate or a Business strategist, as the business world changes, so does the role of HR professionals today. A number of studies have indicated that effective Human Resource leadership can transform organisational performance. Meet Pune based Yogesh Wani, General Manager and Head-HR, working in a French auto component company, who was recently honoured with Top 100 HR Minds of India Award at the 26th World HRD Congress held in Mumbai.
