Talking about the Talent Acquisition, Ms. Bhatia said that a company’s culture is like its brand. To attract the best talent, a company has to develop a culture with which the prospective employees can relate and align. In addition to this, quantifying the employee’s work can be of great help to identify how much impact the talent of a company is creating. Further, she touched upon how the future of work is going to be flat with the level of hierarchies separating the employees continuously reducing. Also, the work hours, as well as the location, would become extremely flexible which will help in empowering the employees giving them the freedom to work from the place they prefer and would also help companies save up on the infrastructure costs. However, the communication would be the key in this pursuit which till now has constant support of the technology. Work-Life balance is set to be a thing of past and shall be replaced with Work-Life Integration.
Lastly, Ms. Bhatia talked about various other challenges and key learnings for HR managers. She is of the view that HR needs to become a value adder more aggressively than ever to enhance its relevance. For this, HR can learn a lot from Marketing. And, with the clouds of doubt hovering over employees with new technology constantly replacing people, HR needs to stand up for its employees to find ways to protect them and become an Employee Champion. This can be done by constant reskilling and proactively thinking of the ways to ensure that their employees are up to date with their competencies.
We sincerely thank Ms. Ruchi Bhatia for her enlightening session and look forward to having her on campus once again.
