Transforming HR

Introduction

The Whole World Is Changing, Evolving. How About You?

The Bar Has Been Raised.

Are You Going To Sit Tight And Wait For The Change To Come And Sweep You Or Plan To Move Forward And Lead From The Front For Transformation Of Your Function And Your Organization Wherever You Are?

The present workshop has been designed on the basis of Salahkaar Consultants’ Survey on HR professionals to seek their opinion about the roles of HR in recessionary times to prepare for beyond.

Over the past decades, a rallying cry of Chief Human Resource Officers has been for HR Transformation: Get close to the business; focus less on basic HR transactions and focus more on adding business value. HR has been one important aspect of this transformation, enabling many organizations to decrease their administrative and transactional burden. In the process, many times, HR itself forgets to bring about its own transformation. This often results into a big mismatch between the organization’s goal, vision and mission and the HR’s capabilities.

Human resources transformation refers to the massive restructuring of corporate human resources (HR) departments that has become imperative after 1995 and more so after recession. Before that, the staff in HR departments had generally been seen as administrators, not as people to be involved in high-level strategic discussions. This Must Change.

By accomplishing HR transformation, we envision the HR community to be at the center stage as organizations face greater business changes than they have ever faced. HR professionals have to focus more on outcome than on activities. It is more a matter of organizational capabilities than anything else. They must become “Administrative Experts”, Employees’ Champions”, “Strategic Partners” and “Change Agents” all at once.

This workshop promises to prepare you to tighten your belt to face the challenges of the now evolving business world.
