In the last few years, the importance of uplifting the HR functionaries and leading the HR Transformation has changed from desire to necessity.

At our organization on the People front, the HR function has also completely aligned with the business and has also ensured the transformation of people processes through multiple role clarity workshops, Webex sessions, and Roleplays. The HR function has seamlessly ensured brand- wise business restructuring in the business.

To bring about a culture of transparency and ensuring a WOW Factor to the employee, initiatives like Skip Level Meetings, Shagun, Long Service Awards, Birthday events, and celebration of festivals have been successfully implemented & are part of an ongoing process.

All such employee engagement activities have brought about in an air of positivity, a feeling of “One Team” and this is reflected in the productivity improvement (7% improvement) that has happened in the last 1.5 years.

The overall HR processes/transactions, goal setting, recruitment, learning have all been automated today. Today an employee, through the Self Service portal, can access all related avenues (reimbursement of expenses, travel, Mid-Year, and Annual Review) through this portal. The HR Automation has brought the complete transformation of all processes and policies, improvement in the efficiency of work, and has acted as a cultural breakthrough in the way we work.
