Inaugural Session: Empowering HR for Business Growth

HR nowadays are emerging as strategic business partners and have a key role to play in the business growth of any organization. In today’s globalized environment they have to attract the right talent for the right job and later develop as well as retain those talents to take up leadership positions. Key issues before the organizations however are;

• Whether HR is empowered enough to take decisions independent of line managers?

• Whether HR is involved in the key decision making processes related to future plans, strategies and long term goals of the organization?

• Whether HR are themselves competent and skilled enough to carry forward the vision of top management further to the employees?

Session I: Role of HR in dynamic business environment

With rapidly changing global economies, organizations are re-building themselves to adapt according to changing environment. Role of HR is critical as they have to be the change agent in the process of percolating the implications down to the lowest levels. They must be pro-active in strategizing, counselling and supporting the workforce during the change, be it mergers & acquisitions, expansions or contractions, etc. Despite diversity of workforce in the organizations, HR has to bring them all together and align them towards common organisational Culture, Goals & Vision.

Session II: Talent Acquisition in the digital age

In view of vast talent pool available from across three generations with varied experiences, enthusiasm levels and aspirations, what are the best or latest acquisitions strategies? Are recruitment and selection methods separate for different profiles and positions? Is HR still relying on conventional hiring methods or has adopted technology and social media also, in its acquisition process? Is HR hiring purely on talent and performance or is also considering the long term association and emotional stability of the new entrants?

In the broad perspective of main theme of the summit, speakers are expected to deliberate on the above or related issues during the respective sessions. The individual presentation / lecture would be followed by a brief panel discussion. Session I and II shall have Q&A at the end.
