HR Professionals — A Force to Reckon With

HR Professionals

Primarily tasked with arranging industry-ready individuals, the Human Resource department is usually perceived as the one focused on talent management while also keeping employees aligned with organisation’s policies and goals. However, HR is steadily acquiring a new narrative, finds out Sandeep Datta of Elets News Network (ENN).

In view of the transforming scenario of employment, innovation and entrepreneurship, it makes an interesting study to look at the evolving significance of HR department in terms of its new role, responsibility, expectations, and challenges in an innovations- driven industry.

The General View

Over the decades, a big section of the industry has been susceptible about effectiveness and influence of the HR functions in organisations.

There are people who view HR as such an administrative unit which adds little strategic value. There are others who feel that, due to their inadequate business understanding, the HR executives are usually found clashing with others in the organisation.

There are others who think HR executives are just good at identifying what not to do. They are usually found helpless in telling what exactly should be exercised to ensure a more profitable scenario in the company in terms of productivity.

There are others who think HR executives are just good at identifying what not to do. They are usually found helpless in telling what exactly should be exercised to ensure a more profitable scenario in the company in terms of productivity.

However, it is also said HR can be a key function, but only if the company’s structure positions it to take on business strategy issues.

HR’S Increasingly Significant Role

To a great extent, in the last few years, the government and the corporate which collectively forms the India Inc. have focused on human resource mobilisation and talent management, given the shift in gaining profitability for business through new and innovative HR interventions.

Innovative Employee Management Approach

Considering the rapidly evolving work scenario, having an innovative employee management approach is perhaps the need of the hour. One can also look at it in terms of the human resources reset.

Various factors in the business environment have created new opportunities for HR to be a truly significant contributor to the performance of organisations.

For the purpose of remaining competitive, many organisations today increasingly depend on their ability to be agile, and be creative in the way they organise employees. These are areas where HR is expected to be a source of expertise.

Also, there is a big need for talented HR professionals having a good understanding of business strategy. They should also be able to use data about talent management to impact organisational effectiveness. But for this to happen, there must be a reset in the way the HR function is managed and structured.

Changing Scenario

Given such a scenario, HR solution companies have undergone a considerable evolution with an improved focus on technological interventions for recruitment, staffing, and other HR-shared services.

Besides, with the maturing of several leading Indian HR solution companies in niche sections like recruitment, HR technology and services like payroll, training and development, there has been considerable foothold of specialised international companies in India. This entry has resulted in some prominent mergers and acquisitions with top HR companies in the country ̧ according to a media report.

HR — Adorning A New Avatar

HR is also increasingly initiating strategic initiatives, such as wellness programmes and workforce analytics. With this focus, organisations have achieved lower turnaround, higher employee engagement, and more productivity, thereby benefiting from better business outcomes.

The advent of social media has considerably helped in the workforce revolution. With the country struggling to attract and retain top talent, social recruiting and referral hiring are definitely huge opportunities.

A Novel Approach for Better HR Functioning

In the present times, in a typical corporation, HR spends a great deal of time on administrative activities, assisting managers throughout the organisation with their personnel management activities.

While the growing use of information technology has helped slightly in reducing the time it takes for HR administration, it has not had a significant impact on HR’s role with respect to business strategy; an organisational structure change is needed for HR to play a more strategic role.

Some suggest that the HR should be classified into different groups: one that handles administrative and support services, while a second handles strategic talent management, organisation design and sustainable organisation effectiveness.

Bringing Transition — Traditional HR to Forward Looking

A section of the industry people believe that to enable change, the business needs to have HR to become a more strategic partner and work together to enable that transition. But remember! It takes time. It’s not achieved overnight.

Actually, this is much to do with understanding the end result of where the business wants HR to be.

There is need to understand impacts, concerns, challenges the key stakeholders have within their businesses, which may all differ from each other, and work with them to build the HR plan whilst taking into consideration their needs and constraints.

Data-driven HR

Data is there to be utilised and to tell a company’s story. The use of data in the HR function has increased over the years and as a result, the HR function now utilises this information to advise Board members and to provide business leaders with tangible management information.

For instance, a company may use data from exit interviews to develop a better understanding of why employees leave that particular organisation. This data can prove to be extremely useful to the company as it can be utilised to correct issues that influence attrition rates. As a result, companies can make significant savings on recruitment costs and as a result invest in employee learning and development.

What Fascinates the Finest Resource?

To draw really talented individuals, the HR is expected to recruit and develop individuals with the similar level of business competence as those in other functions, for instance, marketing, IT, editorial, and finance. For this, salaries are required to be comparable to those in finance and marketing (not the lower ones being offered).

Industry Speaks

  • Sharad Chandra, Head -Talent Acquisition, Aizant Drug Research Solutions Pvt Ltd: “The problems we witness during a recruitment drive include: ineffective communication skills among students ends with the problem that they can’t brand themselves. So, it is important to focus on industry-relevant skills along with inculcating communication skills among our students. Better industry connect can also help students in this.”
  • Tupsakri Rajeev Chary, Chief People Officer, People Combine: By 2022, around 46 percent jobs will change partially and 40 percent of the employment contract will be in a completely new format. This is a big time for all the HR professionals as it will help all of us to evolve in better way. To overcome all these challenges, we have to think about the most innovative ways. To be innovative, we have to go back to routes.”
  • Sanketh Ramakrishna Murthy, Head – HR, AutoRabit: “To make our students industry-ready, we need to inculcate some skills among them. These skills include good confidence level, keen to always learn, good logical reasoning, better aptitude and ready to adapt to a situation. Our institutes can help the candidates in nurturing these skills among students.”

IT’S About Human Beings Not Machines!

As the use of technology rapidly increases, businesses will move to jump on trends and catch the next technology wave.

There is a need to remember, unmindful of all the additional benefits of technology such as automated systems, we are dealing with people. At times, a pragmatic personal approach goes a lot further.

At places, the current trends HR innovation shows that there is an increasing importance on HR data analytics. However, every individual has their individual specific needs. Hence, the ‘one size fits all’ methodology with technology may never replace the value of face-to-face interaction.

Government-Industry-Academia Collaboration Key to Quality Higher Education

Government-Industry-Academia Collaboration Key to Quality Higher Education

The Government, Industry and Academia are three different worlds. All three have different purposes and approach. However, the rapid pace of change across the globe has compelled them to function in sync with each other to address some of the major challenges of higher education landscape, observes Akash Tomer of Elets News Network (ENN).

According to National Employability Report, the education sector in India is poised to witness major growth in the years to come, as India will have world’s largest tertiary- age population and second largest graduate talent pipeline globally by 2020-end. India’s economy is also expected to grow at a fast pace; rapid industrialisation would require a workforce of around 250 million by 2030; India could potentially emerge as a global supplier of skilled manpower.

However, despite these encouraging statistics, a major segment of Indian graduates remain unemployable according to the above report.

Unemployment is indeed a grave problem in India as it has direct repercussions on country’s economy and on social conditions.

Higher EducationHigher educational institutions across the country are training millions of youngsters annually but the corporate often complain about lack of necessary skills among them required for a job.

At the same time, academia and industry also blame Government for ineffective implementation of policies and sometimes even lack of Government initiatives for a higher education ecosystem at par with the global standards.

But shifting the responsibility on each other will not solve one of the major problems of the country. It is important to understand that where we are going wrong and what can be done to tackle this challenge?

One of the approaches to tackle the problem of lacking skill and job readiness among youth is bridging the gap between Government, industry and academia.

Sharing his thoughts on importance of collaboration between Government, industry and academia to impart quality education, Dr Harcharan S Dhaliwal, Vice Chancellor, Eternal University, District Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh, said, “To deliver the quality higher education for knowledge generation, technology development, technology transfer, skill development, employability generation and entrepreneurship, transparent industry-academia collaboration with Government intervention in India is absolutely essential on the pattern of the developed countries of the world.”

As we are at the threshold of Industrial Revolution 4.0, it is important to prepare people for the jobs of future by founding ways how Government, industry and academia can come together to bridge this gap:

Preparing Industry-Ready Curriculum

Considering the evolving nature of industry and changes in the labour market, it has become imperative to ascertain how best the academic curriculum can address various requirements and demands of the dynamic industry.

Despite exponential changes in almost every field, higher education curriculum is often hard to revise. Some suggest that curriculum should be revised regularly and developed in accordance with what industry needs. Academia can also look at existing pedagogies and see if the same can be improved and made more practical in approach.

Here the Government and its regulators can play a key role in preparing the curriculum, which is flexible enough to embrace all the changes.

As shared by Dr Neetu Bhagat, Deputy Director, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), during the 9th Higher Education and Human Resource Conclave Hyderabad, the Government has taken several initiatives in this regard.

“In order to improve standards of Higher Education in India, AICTE has taken various initiatives. One of them is revision of curriculum on regular basis. AICTE has instructed all the higher education institutes across the country to revise their curriculum in every three years. It is important as the technology and industry requirements are changing at a rapid rate.”

Emphasis on Skill-based Education: A recent NASSCOM report suggests that by 2020, two out of three millennials would like to take up a managerial job within three years of their joining. The report further says that the core skill-set required by the industry will change fast and newer skills like creative thinking, higher-level problem solving, interpersonal skills, innovation, decision-making will be in great demand.

Describing about the essential skills required among the students in future, Pratyusha sharma, Senior Director – HR, Cognizant India, says, “At this point of time the required skills among candidates are innovate, incubate and capability of taking quick decisions. Another important skill which we need among candidates is good communication skill.”

Therefore, besides imparting the core or technical knowledge, academia should also try to focus on the softer and behavioural aspects such as interpersonal skills, leadership capability, attitude, communication skills (with increased emphasis on learning the English language) etc. to ensure the success of individuals once they join the industry.

Workplace Exposure through Internships, Live Projects, and Corporate Interactions: A well-timed and well-deliberated exposure to the industry provides a much-needed experience to students. It can take the form of internships or part-time projects that students can work on, providing practical insights about how the industry operates and expose students to current workplace realities.

While there is no guarantee that these internships will fetch permanent jobs, it will equip students to adjust to the needs of the business once they actually join the industry. Such opportunities boost students’ confidence as they learn a lot by being present in the workplace. It would be admirable to see Government coming forward and working exclusively with the academicians and employers to create and develop a shared model for jobs and curriculum to address the industry requirements.

The successful model will ensure many benefits for everyone – the graduating students will find their transition into industry roles smoother, employers will be able to hire people who are skilled and job-ready and academic institutes will take great pride in seeing their students getting placed with good firms.

Redefining Higher Education through New-Age Innovations

Higher Education

Technology, social change, and cost inflation are the three key elements posing multiple challenges to students in higher education thus laying emphasis on the need to be innovative in an educational system, usually wary of change, writes Akash Tomer of Elets News Network (ENN).

Learning House and the Online Learning Consortium recently surveyed academic administrators of higher education to understand what these decision-makers are looking for right now and what lessons they’ve learnt from their implementation strategies.

Majority of the surveyed individuals either called out technology specifically or gave examples of innovations that required new technology. Some of them equated innovation with the technology.

A lot of higher education institutes are now taking service of resources and manpower to replace obsolete teaching-learning practices and technologies on campus with the latest innovations.

But how many have a grasp of the state of innovation in the higher education space?

While the implementation of new, cutting- edge tools is essential for planning innovation in any campus, decision-makers should understand what innovation means for higher education institutions to make informed decisions for a campus integrated with latest technologies, best practices and simultaneously catering to needs of primary stakeholders i.e. students.

Dr Harsh Sadawarti
Dr Harsh Sadawarti, Vice Chancellor, CT University

Explaining the need of Innovation to impart quality higher education, Dr Harsh Sadawarti, Vice Chancellor, CT University, says, “New technology age calls for ‘Innovate or Evaporate’. Though India ranks high in higher education (HE), yet lot needs to be done.

“A strong research segment will make India a tech-power rather than technology follower. Universities must identify with activities like Make in India, Start-up India in new technologies areas (cyber security, robotics, digital technology, artificial intelligence, data-science, block-chain, internet of things, etc.), Technology Parks, Skill India, etc.”

Understanding user needs

It is essential to have an idea before taking a plunge into a digital solutions project. One way is to understand the needs and wants of all players within the institution, from students to administrators, is by creating the most effective innovation strategy.

The efforts of a university should always be broad enough to pave the way for innovations, yet narrow enough to know where to start. To help frame the challenge, the institutions must ask three simple questions:

  • Who are the users and what benefit the institute is trying to provide? This helps put the students at the centre of efforts for innovating a new practice or technology.
  • Why is the innovation needed? This helps broaden the frame if it’s too narrow.
  • What are the challenges or future risks in implementing the innovation? It will narrow the frame to a reasonable starting point.

There are several innovative practices adopted by higher education institutes across India and globe that are supposed to transform the lecture delivery methodologies. These technologies or practices not only supposed to enhance their knowledge but also likely to update their technical skills and also the working habits.

Following practices in higher education are supposed to redefine the higher education ecosystem:

E-Learning

A report issued by Global Market Insights in September 2017 found that the eLearning market, already estimated to be worth $150 billion in 2016, will grow at a rate of over 5 percent annually during 2017-2024.

E-learning, which is education through the Internet or network, is a part of new dynamics that characterises the educational system. It has become an important part of the society, comprising an extensive array of digitalisation approaches, components and delivery methods. Increased usage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for educational purpose and the spread of network technologies have caused e-learning practices to evolve significantly.

E-learning refers to use of electronic applications and processes to learn. It includes web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms and digital collaboration. The contents are delivered through the Internet, local intranet/extranet, audio visuals, satellite TV & CD-ROM. E-learning is used by learners and educators in homes, schools, higher education, business and others.

“Internet and digitisation have potential to transform HE sector. A new wave of innovation is poised to providing e-commerce experience to students and it can prove best practice in higher education. Faculty must be provided sponsored hands-on-exposure to industry for six-months in say every five years to keep abreast with the latest,” Dr Sadawarti adds.

Short Lecture Methodology

An innovative teaching and learning methodology is a short lecture. It is the method in which a problem solving case study is discussed by the students who are organised into groups and who interrogate the responses of fellow students.

Student involvement is essential if learning is to be successful. The lecturer as the facilitator is tasked with guiding and promoting student interaction. The practice encourages interactive teaching superior to didactic teaching and the former greatly improves academic success and promotes the inclusion of students. Nowadays, collaborative learning is required and there should be far less reliance on the large lecture format that is followed in most of the higher education institutes.

Simulation and Role-playing

In these methodologies, the idea is to create a workplace scenario that students could encounter in real life. Such a method will allow students to develop their social skills essential for their respective industries.

Role-playing and simulation promote an evaluation and synthesis of the teaching material while practically allowing students to learn by doing something. Simulation of scenarios and interrogation of case studies, involving staff, are useful in problem-solving and in developing the argumentation and analytical skills among students required in the world-of-work.

Such exercises promote understanding and deep-learning that are the prerequisites for long-term knowledge acquisition. This methodology does require planning by the lecturer who must have clear objectives regarding the learning outcomes.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL)

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) for students is a flourishing approach to enhance their learning. It is extremely useful to encourage critical and analytical thinking among them and also helps in addressing the rapid technological changes in the dynamic workplace of 21st Century.

This approach to education suggests a strong role for factors such as authenticity, as well as student independence, and is principally associated with the encouragement of deep learning. In this approach, a range of selected constructive problems are designed by the lecturer to address the desired learning outcomes.

PBL is an approach to learning that incorporates relevance and complexity of thought.

It also provides an opportunity for self-assessment and continuous improvement on the students’ part. The approach also promotes self-esteem as students acquire important discipline knowledge by their own initiatives and the students take ownership of their education. What makes PBL unique is the fact that it is self-directed learning and addresses challenges and seeks solutions to problems using strategies that are encountered on a daily basis in real life experiences in the industries concerned.

Blended Learning

Blended learning, which combines online and face-to-face pedagogy, is a fast-growing mode of instruction as universities strive for equitable and alternative pathways to course enrollment, retention, and educational attainment. However, challenges to successfully implementing blended instructions are social presence, or students’ ability to project their personal characteristics into the learning space, can be reduced with student engagement, persistence, and academic achievements. Instructors are also experimenting with robot-mediated communication (RMC) to address these challenges.

“Blended learning, which combines online and face-to- face pedagogy, is a fast- growing mode of instruction as universities strive for equitable and alternative pathways to course enrollment, retention, and educational attainment.”

Nurturing Employability

Embedding employability in higher education framework highlights the process, principles and premises underpinning employability and the elements which contribute to and support it. Drawing on academic research and best practice, the framework enables an inclusive approach. Empowering staff to truly own their approach to employability is critical. Collaboration with stakeholders is essential to inform design, content and delivery of programmes of study that support and enhance employability.

Structural shifts in global economy, productivity enhancement and technological progress are driving demand for highly skilled workers, innovators and knowledge workers.

India is well-positioned to cater to the changing requirements of the labour market in domestic and international markets due to favorable demographics and large output of higher education graduates. While the Indian higher education system has made considerable progress in terms of capacity creation and enrolment especially in the last decade, adopting the latest innovations will help the sector to be at par with the global standards.
