New Book Release: Straight from the Heart - Thoughts and experiences of an HR professional

BENGALURU, India - July 19, 2015 - PRLog -- As a practicing HR professional for over 30 years, with exposure to both public and private sector industries in India, one striking aspect that I have noticed and it does not seem to have changed much over the years, is that the other disciplines/functions do not see HR as meaningfully contributing to the ‘real needs’ of the organization or the needs of   internal customers. The feeling is that HR engages in activities to justify its existence rather than cater to the ‘real needs.’

It is not so much about having or not having a place on the board of directors. What is painful is the realisation that all exercises seem without meaning when your customers do not see it as of much value. How do we show that our learning and development initiatives can really make a difference? How to demonstrate that each aspect of HR whether it is recruitment, career planning, policies or employee relation initiatives are crucial to the success of the organization? This is the challenge.
