People and Management had an opportunity to have a first-hand lesson from the mind master himself at the Great Place to work Annual conference, Mumbai, on 21 Feb’19. We spoke about Mind Mapping, about the future and how we are already equipped to deal with any possible thing or challenge that could ever come in our way; how organizations are using it & much more. In this exclusive conversation, Tony shared his thoughts on the evolution of Mind Mapping, present
education system and the exciting future of this visual mapping technique.

Awareness is important. To be aware not only means knowing the various processes and practices of the organization, but also the human aspects that drive the people who implement these processes and practices. Awareness is an all-encompassing activity and involves both mental and physical activity. This is where the technique and training of ‘MINDFULNESS’ comes in. Read the following pages to know how this technique is transforming HR.

It gives immense pleasure to present the People and Management HR Extravaganza 2018 post event edition.

It’s been an eventful year for HR-related issues hitting the headlines. We revisit each month’s most notable happenings.

Today more people are looking to change jobs every few years for different opportunities, challenges or simply more money. While these movements can mean a steady wage increase and better career prospects for the employee, for an employer it can result in higher staff turnover, costs of recruitment and possibly unrest among those who choose to stay.

In this edition we present an exclusive coverage of notable movements in the industry in 2018 and few that are already announced but scheduled in 2019.

With the concept of ‘a job for life’ no longer expected, or often even sought after, does this make the long service award redundant?

It gives us immense pleasure to present you the pre event HR Extravaganza 2018 edition of People and Management magazine.

We have been getting great feedback on our previous edition on CSR at workplace; various organisations presented their CSR activities and their contribution
has helped our readers strengthen their Organizational CSR strategies and served to prompt their seeking engagement with contributors to facilitate programs
and interventions leveraging their expertise. Many other organisations want to contribute their write ups on their CSR ventures. We shall soon come out with
another edition based on CSR at workplace.

Welcome to the August edition of People and Management based on the theme of Managing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the workplace.

One of the last bastions of resistance to CSR programmes within corporates often seems to be the HR department. Given the signifi cant range of issues owned here, that can be a real disadvantage. What are the corporate social responsibility issues that need to be managed in the workplace?

The relationship between a company and its employees can have a big impact on another key relationship — that between the company and its customers. After all, whether the customer trusts and values the company is likely to hinge on the impression created by its human face.

Learning and Development (L&D) today has become a key function in the HR world, and has witnessed a visible shift in the last few years owing to the rapidly changing business environment that is being continuously disrupted by new technologies and
tools of working. With the influx of millennials in the workplace, the workforce is also undergoing a radical shift. Most companies are, thus, looking to adapt their
learning strategies to meet the demands of today’s workforce. Traditional models of learning do little to bridge the gap between employer and employee, or to improve engagement and performance.

Welcome to the bumper edition of people and management!

Ken Robinson, an educationist ranked in the Thinkers 50 list of the world’s top business leaders, once told his audience that the true power of HR would best strive and thrive under situations directly powered by challenges and indirectly powered by innovation.

Taking our cue from the above learning, the stories featured in this edition seek to address our future revolving around work.

Developing a comprehensive framework of today’s work culture is not simple, and with ever-growing inputs and advancements in each area of our work place, this
becomes all the more difficult.

Our lead story, ‘Real Risks of Artificial Intelligence in displacing Human Workforce’, throws new light on the ongoing debate about the implications of AI technology
on humans in the workplace. This debate will remain pertinent in the years to come as advancements are made in this field. Nevertheless, such decisions should
ideally be considered keeping business growth and development in mind. It is important to maintain an optimum balance between human labour and machines
to maximize productivity.

In this first issue of 2018, we delve into the world of ‘Transformation’. The need of the hour being to bring in a radical and profound change in the Industrial Sector. Often Management does not feel the need to communicate with their blue collar workers, resulting in setbacks and Communication gaps. If Communication is
the key for progressive industrial relations, employees/ workers need to be invited to speak their minds so as to set up a two-way communication system which could
lead to greater understanding between management and workers.

The nature of today’s Workforce is ‘change’. It is estimated that by 2019, up to 50 percent of the workforce will be ‘Agile’. Today’s Liquid Workforce demands a
culture which enhances their talents to achieve its full potential; hiring people is one thing, retaining them is another! A talented workforce is a foundation when
building a business. Choosing the right people ensures the growth of a corporation; however, right talent will come at a cost, not just be of monetary value; employee
engagement is an equally important component for earning loyalty and respect from employees.

An organization stands in a recognizable position because of someone’s leadership, and many believe the leader to be in a preeminent position because of their dexterity and great vision. Well, for some, it is humility that matters the most in order to attract co-workers and form a talented team to help build an organization with a collaborative environment. This inspires the team to wilfully emulate actions on the basis of trust and confidence. But do these beliefs really give a foregone
conclusion?

The ‘Lead Story’ of this edition underlines the importance of charisma in a leader in order to be the epitome in a successful business organization. The Greek word ‘Kharisma’ means ‘divine gift’ and charisma is the quality of extraordinary charm, magnetism, and presence that makes a leader competent of stimulating others with the same enthusiasm and devotion.

Innovation has been the very buzzword throughout the year- by now we know that Innovation is not only confined to the plan or the idea. Innovation is another word for inclusion and execution; inclusion of new thoughts & talents, taking risks, and most importantly fight Inertia.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” --Charles Darwin 

The rationale behind these contents is to observe developments in the fi eld of organizational change (OC)  with reference to the context of India.

The Cover Story highlights the requirement of Organizational Transformation in India Inc in order to achieve the idea of changing the corporate world notwithstanding the current economic environment that suggest references from the Hindu Mythology... you will read how! Our Consulting editor describes
the resemblance of situations in the corporate world with the instances between Gods and demons in his article which is the Cover Story ‘Samudra Manthan: An eternal template for Organizational Transformation’; which will rightfully motivate us to fight our demons in the corporate world.

This is followed by the HR‘s Contribution to the sustainability of business during the crisis. Often we fail not with circumstances but with thoughts when we think we can’t, as Marsha Sinetar rightly said, “Change can either challenge or threaten us...Your beliefs pave your way to success or block you.”

The Focus section wholly features bias and diversity which the whole world faces; the corporate world wants to set an example to prove the competency of an organization that embraces diversity and most importantly preserves it.

The digital revolution is reshaping the way we live and work. From ordering food to booking a movie or a cab, simplifying daily activities with just a click is the norm today. Our cover story for this month, “Automation in HR – How much is too much?” looks at the impact of technology and automation in HR from the micro to macro level, and analyses how processes like big data have emerged as the need of the hour today.

As we continue our engagement with the theme of Digital Disruption, our special feature “Innovator, Disruptor or being Disrupted” discusses how digital disruptions in the market place, such as automation, artifi cial intelligence, robotics and mobiles are posing a serious challenge to traditional companies precisely due to their virtual nature.

Whenever Sir Ken Robinson addresses an audience, people watch and listen. In 2006, his talk on “Do Schools Kill Creativity” during the prestigious TED Conference
was seen by an estimated 350 million people in 160 countries which made him the most watched speaker in TED’s history. Ranked in the Thinkers50 list of the
world’s top business thinkers, Robinson emphasizes how the nature of HR would best thrive and strive under situations directly powered by challenges and
indirectly by innovation. 

Taking our cue from his note, we have published this month’s Lead Story, “What are the required competences for HR to facilitate paradigm shift”, wherein the writer, Marianne J Franzen, recalls her personal experience of going through paradigm shifts. Demographics of doing a business change from country to country, but in the grand scheme of things HR personnel must come to terms with their competence
and incompetence during paradigm shift or while creating a new one.

This innocuous and unpretentious quote sums up the dilemma of all HR personnel across big and small companies. HR Managers take great care to pick candidates to fill their boots just right! And who knows the challenges of HR functions and
processes better than our new Business Editor Marianne J Franzen, a veteran in the field and a change management expert. With this issue, we welcome Marianne on the board of People and Management.

Our cover story ‘Creating Shared Values – The Key to Growth’, by Marianne J. Franzen, very succinctly unravels L’Opéra’s secret sauce of stunning success – right recruitment and retention. It reveals discipline and meticulous planning successful
brands follow in HR processes.

Management is nothing more than motivating other people! XLRI - Xavier School of Management has shaped management education in India for close to 7 decades. XLRI Director E. Abraham, S.J, speaks to People and Management on the 68-year-old management school’s brand, education, relevance of international collaborations, advancement in technology, and much more.

These words of this exemplary woman author teach us that an ordinary life is not worth living. A life accompanied with struggles, ups and downs, turns and twists make the journey enjoyable, exciting and adventurous. Some people may kneel down to negative circumstances and could not gather courage to fight with their destiny but some push their limits, follow their dreams and eventually achieve success. When we taste something bitter only then could we realise sweetness. We all experience moments of sorrows, lows, emptiness and other setbacks, whosoever keeps herself straight and flexible touch newer heights. Well the women across the boundaries of the world are not only going ahead of their times, creating a better future for themselves but also imprinting their indelible marks in all spheres of life, whether professional or personal. A woman is a nurturer, care giver, balancer and also holds an enormous amount of patience. Such qualities motivate and influence others to stick on the path less travelled. Equality and empowerment exist in our minds.

The role of Human Resources around the world is constantly changing. The rise of technology and social media is redefi ning the HR process, and 2016 will see a focused approach on data driven recruitment and employee engagement.

The Winning Outlook highlights the sectors that will benefi t from workplace mobility. Change is the only constant; managing change and cultural transformation is a challenge. The Offshore Perspective
enlightens about the various tools and resources to deal with the complex and evolving workplace dynamics.

“This is going to become a battle for access to your home and office plus mobility. It’s about who can provide the biggest and least expensive and fastest pipe to your home and office and offers you a mobility feature.”

These words of Steve Largent, legendary American sportsperson and thought leader point towards the way things are heading in future. Definitely, these are the times characterised by new IT-assisted developments increasingly being utilised by any modern-day workplace.

Today is the age of mobile workdesks, workstations and virtual offices facilitated by new trends such as BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), CYOD (Choose Your Own Device) and COPE (Corporate-owned, Personally-enabled).

Though, IT mobility has been transforming workplaces not only in India but across the globe, many firms are still mulling over its best execution. There remains an apprehension that while the new trend could boost job satisfaction levels; it could also adversely affect job productivity.

“The way that work gets done, and how HR supports it, is going through major changes. We are moving towards a transient, contingent workforce bringing their devices and apps that help them get work done, plugging into IT environments that are mobile fi rst, and being acquired as much as they are hired.”

These words of George LaRocque, one of the top infl uencers and thought leaders in the world of B2B human resources and workforce technology, clearly points to the rise of the contingent workforce and a shift in HR strategies. This means there is an increase in people who come to a company — equipped with basic skills and abilities — but don’t camp out and stay for the long haul. These workers are unaffiliated with the company’s brand for legal and compliance reasons. When the tasks are completed, they go home.

These words of Henry Ford, American industrialist and founder of Ford Motor Company, best explains the importance of working together as a team for achieving a goal or building a successful business or organisation. However, building a great and effective team is not something that just happens itself. It takes a lot of planning, hard work, thoughtful leadership and continuous efforts to get the right people at the right place and to keep them that way.

In an organisation, people talk about building a great team and working as a team, but only a few know how to create the experience of teamwork or how to develop an effective team. In other words, each member of the team needs to have a great set of skills individually, but they also need to prove they can work well within a team. It is also vital that every individual understands the overall mission and objectives of the organisation.
