Yes , let's face is . HR today is facing an existential dilemma. In his latest post Prof. Ram Sharan had spoken about splitting the function to make it more effective . While we ourselves have to blame for the situation we have put ourselves in, there is a scope to bounce back- provided we are brave enough to learn from our past mistakes and have the spirit to move forward .
When it comes to learning who better than the toast of the nation . As the world goes ga ga over Modi, in spite of my several apprehension ,few learning we #HR folks can have from him
1. First focus on basics , the way #Modi started with primary need like cleanliness & sanitation.
2. Inclusive Governance , public has to join hands with government for maximum governance. HR business partner means working with business on an equal footing - not just taking instructions. So be a strategic partner . Add value to business instead of just taking instructions.
3. Keeping things simple -simplicity is the toughest thing to achieve. Those who in the name of strategy , make things complex /keep adding jargon , please check if it is positively impacting the stake holder or just a survival tool.
4. Use of Technology : Modi's approach has been pro-tech. Is today HR leveraging technology to deliver better , NO.For most of us Technology limits to just social networking.
5. Communicate & Connect with people at BOP & Gen Y - This is what gave Modi majority & it will give the much needed credibility to HR.
6. Be proud - Our generation has rarely seen a proud leader & Modi is a fiercely proud Indian , hence commands tremendous respect. Be proud of being an HR-Since you have the ability to shape careers. Acquire knowledge, work hard & for heaven's sake stop sucking up to everyone.
7. Build process & Deliver , deliver , deliver - Modi's emphasis on streamlining judicial & administrative mechanism will bear fruit in long term. Jugaad wont take us too far. So HR needs to build robust processes to be successful.
8. Invest in Youth - Modi is a master at connecting with youth. If you want organisation to be successful , look at the holistic development of young workforce.
