Like everyone else, I was excited to get first exposure in the corporate world after completing MMS in HR from Mumbai University. I got an opportunity to work as an HR Executive with one of the Manufacturing firm in Pune, “Polybond India Pvt. Ltd.” Since it was my first corporate job Interview, I rehearsed and re-rehearsed for probable answers.

I was anxiously waiting outside the factory from 8.30 am, though my interview was scheduled at 9.15 am. Speculating that the Interviewer may ask some theoretical questions, I entered the cabin. My interviewer was DGM HR Mr. Mendolsa. He asked me general questions about me, family background, and educational background. Then he asked me why I was aspirant for Job in Pune. I gave a satisfactory candid reply. His next question was, “How will you manage the situation when no one supports your decision and how will you deal with day to day challenges faced by people in a manufacturing set up”?

I was speechless for a few minutes and looking at my facial expression he offered me a cup of coffee. Then, correlating the experience from my project with Aditya Birla group wherein as an intern I had done recruitment champion independently and successfully selected talent for the insurance industry, I gave my answer. The very next day, I got my first offer letter

As indicated by you, do you think working environment tutors and mentors assume a critical job in settling crisp alumni in their first employment? How was your experience?

We for the most part will in general utilize the terms training and coaching reciprocally. Be that as it may, there is a contrast between the two. Basically, instructing is undertaking focused though tutoring is relationship arranged. So Drona was Arjun’s mentor though Krishna was his coach. Mentors enable the new alumni to take in the specialized abilities, ace them and henceforth settle well in the job. Guides assist new comers with navigating through authoritative labyrinth. They help the mentee to venture out of the substance and spotlight on setting.

I have been exceptionally blessed to have part of these influencers.

Bijender Vats (my administrator at MSD) is an extremely keen individuals chief. When I joined MSD, he made me play on my solidarity to manufacture believability with business. Slowly he trained me on different parts of HRBP job. His training style with me throughout the years has moved from participative to empowering.

Sameer Tamhane (my present HR pioneer) helped me in understanding the significance of making an individual brand and guided me in progressing in the direction of it.

Aside from this there are numerous different influencers from whom I got solid ethics just by watching – Arun Khedekar’s (ex-BD Head at Abbott) effortlessness, Vivek Kamath’s (MD at MSD) modesty, organizing from Monica Chaudhari (ex-BUD at MSD).

Most important aspect of HR is Developing a talent pipeline for sustainability of growing business

Varsha was filling in as an Electrical Engineer with an association when she was offered a job to set-up the HR Function. It was more than 20 years prior. What’s more, as is commonly said, rest is history.

Everything that we do “First” holds an extraordinary place in our souls. After my designing, I went for my meeting for an apprenticeship. I was prepared to set out on my new life. Despite the fact that I was frightened, only a sheer sentiment of new begin made me exceptionally energized. The meeting was somewhat casual. Presently when I think back, I figure the inquiries were surrounded to measure my learning capacity and my ability to go out on a limb. Despite everything I recall a few inquiries asked – “what will you do on the off chance that you fizzle or not ready to finish the assignment/get the coveted outcome”? “I will attempt over and over” was my answer. “Is it accurate to say that you will move to remote and littler towns”? My answer was yes. My answers were basic be that as it may, loaded up with energy and good faith. I landed the position.

Raed complete interview of Varsha Ponnuswamy

A machine or a Robot can never replace the psychological aspect of HR

madhuri

An HR Leader with over a decade and a half years of experience, Madhuri, reminds us of THREE basic rules of success in life – A) you are your own competition. Today, perform better than what did yesterday. B)   Learning is a lifelong process. C) Plan well. Prepare well. Madhuri started her career as a Computer Faculty and when she was offered an opportunity to move into HR Function, she grabbed it with both hands. Over the period of time, Madhuri, worked for some leading names in the IT industry before moving in with her current assignment. She has extensive experience in high-volume hiring, developing robust HR systems, developing and implementing HR interventions to ensure business sustainability, and growth. Thank you, Madhuri, for agreeing to do this interview with us. Your journey has been very inspiring and we are certain that your insight will be very helpful in motivating budding HR Professionals. Thanks, again.

We would be pleased to learn about your journey from the beginning. So, please share with us about your first job interview.

This is a wonderful memory to recollect. I started my career as a “Computer Faculty“with one of the best schools in Hyderabad, way back in 1998, post my graduation. I was keen to get a job to start off and landed up at “St. Andrews“to face an Interview through some common acquaintance. Frankly, I was a bit startled when I saw my interviewer in the principal’s office, sitting behind her huge desk on a Wheelchair who could only move her head and hands a little. She couldn’t move but had moved careers of hundreds of people perhaps. I would like to take her name with a deep respect, “Mrs. Joseph“. The Interview was focused more on my knowledge of computer science and I sailed through it comfortably, thus, became a computer faculty for the higher- grade students.

Which, according to you was the most intriguing interview? Can you share your experience in detail?

I vividly recollect my interview for being part of the Management Trainee group with one of the Organizations I was already associated with. We had to go through several rounds of interviews, starting with a Written Assessment, followed by a personal interview, an Assessment Centre, and a Panel round of interview. The best part of all the rounds of interviews was that we were clueless about the interviewers whether they were from within the Organization or an external intervention of Assessment Centre. It was only the written assessment that I could prepare for and for the rest of them, I just had to be myself. My performance was hugely depended on my understanding of the questions or the scenario or the role play and answer accordingly.  There was no right or wrong answer, our attitude towards each question was the parameter.

Being loyal to your work and organization will evolve you as a better leader.

The first job is a major milestone for many people. Let’s discuss your first year at the job. How was your experience? What were your expectations for your job and your role? Were they all fulfilled? What didn’t coincide with your expectation?

My first MNC exposure was with GE Capital Services, one of the leading organizations. I completely second that the first job is a major milestone. I was hired for a voice process and I failed in the pre-training assessment, citing my voice did not suite collections and I was put on the bench. Then came a new process and I got into a pilot batch of it and then there was no looking back. I was the top performer throughout and got promoted to the next level into an important role of WFM for the project within the span of a year. Every experience was new and I kept learning. This is how I moved into my first stint of Human Resources with mid-level management hiring.

I would like to add that there is no place without politics or gossips or people who envy you. It all depends on the choice you make; either you want to address them and waste your valuable time or just ignore and be more productive.

I strongly believe that being loyal to your work and organization will evolve you as a better leader. I was fortunate to have good bosses throughout my career who allowed me my space to work that brought the best out of me.

If you want to learn, you will always find a teacher or a mentor.

According to you, do you think workplace mentors and coaches play an important role in settling fresh graduates in their first job? How was your experience?

YES, Workplace mentors and coaches play a very important role in our careers; there is a saying, “If you want to learn, you will always find a teacher or a mentor“. In every job and role you play, there is always something you get to learn. In the initial stages of my career, we had mentors assigned to us to help us understand the work and the industry. They guided and suggested us on ways to do our job well, how to deal with scenarios, the importance of being responsible towards our job, how to take ownership, and how to communicate rightly. And soon enough I could get into the shoes of a Mentor. I did come across a lot of challenges at the workplace but learned to be patient and transparent in my approach which always helps in finding solutions.

You are an HR Practitioner for so many years. Could you please tell us why did you choose this profession? If not in HR, what another profession you would have chosen for yourself?

I was inspired by the person who took my first interview and I wanted to be on the other side of the table, to trust and help right people build their careers and help the organization work efficiently. When Organisations grow people grow; perhaps that’s what made me choose HR as a profession.

Human Resource is the one department that every employee in the organization looks up to when they face any issue.  Someone whom they trust will guide them right and stand for them. It’s a huge responsibility to live up to.

If not Human Resources I really can’t think of any other profession which would have given me the kind of learning or bought the best of me.

Expectations of a CEO from HR: “Create an organization which people would like to be associated with”

Having worked in a leadership role, what do you think are the expectations of a CEO or the Management Team from its HR Function in general and HR Head in particular?

Every CEO or the HR Head would want their leadership to be the face of the Organization. Being into a leadership role makes us more responsible not only to lead the organization matrix and vision but also create new milestones and Targets along with the strategy to achieve it.

Identify the best talent, groom and mentor them to take up new challenges and roles. Create a transparent and healthy work atmosphere. In short, create an organization which people would like to be associated with.

In the same breath, can you also highlight about expectations of employees from the HR Function of an Organization?

For employees,

HR is a one shop stop of Solutions.

An unbiased set of people, who must demonstrate Integrity and transparency at their best and at any given situation.

Should be Trained and knowledgeable on different policies and procedure within and outside the organization, someone who can guide people in the right direction.

A function that plays a bridge between employees and Management.

A function that takes the ownership to build and implement policies across the organization to make it a better place to work.

HR is a very vast function. What aspects of HR do you like the most and which one do you find challenging?

As I worked with all the different functionalities of HR, I think one of the most challenging is Recruitment or Hiring, where we play the face of the organization to outsiders such as candidates, Vendors, Colleges etc. The more there is external intervention the more is the scope of compromising on integrity.

Thus, it’s very important to build a strong team into this Function, who are responsible and understand the importance of their role, who can take the ownership of every person they recruit to be an asset to the organization and not a liability, who set a right example of the organization to the external world.

An unbiased thinking always helps in finding a Win-Win situation.

According to you, what are the key challenges of being a representative of employees as well as a representative of company management? What kind of conflicts you have faced and how did you manage to overcome them.

It’s a very challenging role to play. There are several scenarios where we need to push the management as well as situations where we need to stand by the Management. In both the scenarios it is important to have your facts and data in place. It is vital for an HR to do the homework before getting into any kind of discussion with either party.

An unbiased thinking always helps in finding a Win-Win situation. Any request put to the management for the benefit of employees, or any decision of the management being drilled down to employees should always be backed by data and facts. Being a numbers person and an eye for detail helps in handling the situation in a more composed manner

Please share an experience when you did something by coming under pressure from your management or reporting manager though you felt it was wrong and shouldn’t have been done?

Luckily, there are not too many scenarios.

Though I am a ‘No alcoholic’ person out and out, sometimes I give in during the official parties when a junior group of employees is a part of it as this practice has been followed for long.

I had to withdraw serious action against an employee as important feedbacks were ignored due to that employee’s personal connects with the higher management.

Based on your experience, what are the FIVE essential traits every HR Professional must have?

Integrity, Ownership, eye for Details, Non-Bias, Data and Facts Driven approach, Critical thinking, right communication skills, be a good Leader rather than a Manager.

According to you, what are the primary challenges of sharing interview feedback with candidates?

This should never be a challenge for a right HR person; you need to understand that giving someone a feedback is helping them. Every HR need to expertise in giving constructive Feedback. We need to understand that we are not here to please people, but we are here to guide and Mentor them.

Story on Dimension of Human Relations is Organizational Culture

“Priyanka, who was a sweetheart of Sunil, until a year ago, is presently the spouse of CEO Anish. Frustrated by this demonstration, Sunil got included with Anita, CEO’s sister and is additionally dating Rajeev’s better half Yasmin. With respect to Anita, she is additionally keen on VP-HR Yogesh however he never reacted to her advances. Nikita, who is a sweetheart of Sameer, additionally has sentimental relations with Sachin. Over most recent couple of months, CEO created preferring for Sachin’s sweetheart Madhuri too however he doesn’t need them to separation with the end goal to stay clean in his better half’s eyes. Thus, Sachin is offered costly livens, rewards, and rewards for reasons unknown identified with his activity and execution”.

“Every Department Head needs to welcome THREE of his colleagues to the Friday evening party. The covered up appalling thought process of pioneers behind such gatherings is to get themselves a buddy to put in an end of the week with, deceptively.

I solicited, “What is the job from Yogesh, VP-HR? What does he do in the association? On the off chance that the greater part of the choices are taken my Anish and Anita, and the way of life is so terrible then for what reason does your association require HR?”

He proceeded, “For the most part, after Friday parties, a portion of those picked colleagues, either leave out of irritation or they get ended for refusal to pioneers. Therefore, some of them record a lawful body of evidence against the association. The job of Yogesh is to oversee worker partitions, contract new representatives, and face cases and execute directions issued from pioneers.

“Sanjeev Sir, I am not ready to deliberately ignore to such to hierarchical culture. It’s outside my ability to comprehend of human relations. These are not my learnings, qualities, and morals. Out of 37 individuals in my group, 18 are females. I haven’t yet welcomed any of my female colleagues to these gatherings however I can’t evade for long. I don’t need my colleagues, particularly females, to experience this foulness.

Others have begun insulting me, saying ‘I need to remain quiet about all young ladies’ or that ‘I have a place with old fashioned’, and so forth. For most recent couple of weeks they have been demanding welcoming Anshita, my life partner, to the gathering. I have been coming up with some rationalization. I don’t have a craving for heading off to this office any longer.”

I have most likely that there are such associations. These associations don’t have long haul vision or systems. Finding another activity for Kabir at such a spur of the moment announcement was a test. His marriage was planned for couple of months. He was getting discouraged. I requested that he share with me his refreshed profile alongside his normal CTC. I likewise requested that he investigate with his last manager, where he had labored for a long time.

Perhaps in view of his great deeds and clean heart, a week ago he landed another position offer. The pay bundle is not as much as his current bundle by 20% however he is glad to get this offer and will go along with them one month from now. He will get hitched soon.

Authoritative culture is a vital perspective for the development of any association. At the point when business specialists say that over 89% of new businesses bomb inside three years of the initiation and under 0.01% turned out to be billion dollars associations, presumably they mull over the authoritative culture. Effective associations are engaged and esteem based associations. For them, center qualities are considerably more essential than couple of pointers recorded and posted on hierarchical dividers.

The associations, for example, the one where Kabir was working and managers like Anish and Anita are probably not going to blur away. A vast piece of individuals of both genders, got in wide mouthed joblessness, will trade off to land positions and development.

How might you have reacted to this circumstance? It would be ideal if you share your accounts and encounters.

The Success Story of Extreamly Talented Ms. Ketaki

While sitting there on wood chair within the hall, together with alternative very nervous candidates, I may hear my heart pounding in my chest and my brain going numb with anxiety.

you are hired.jpg

This was my twentieth try. Yes, I used to be keeping a count. And my head already knew however my journey back home was about to be that day. Sitting by the window of a thronged bus, observance the busy town growing busier, and wiping my damp eyes, simply before my stop, I careless ly checked out others. there have been eight men and 9 ladies.

My fingers, quite unwittingly therefore, clutched my plastic folder more durable as I stared without expression at the ground because the next person was known as in. I stared at the tiny floral styles on the ground tiles and questioned what a life filled with the fragrance of flowers felt like. I closed my eyes and few glimpses of my life flashed by; sleeping solely four hours every day to end all the learning, then, my female offspring (adopted) asking Maine why I studied therefore exhausting to that I replied, “they say exertions continuously pays.” I jolted back to gift and that i questioned however long it’d consider Maine to prove that.

My life had been an extended and arduous journey of sobs and sniffles. i used to be born with a curse. a minimum of the folks around Maine had continuously been creating Maine believe that it had been a curse. once my oldsters had discovered the reality regarding Maine at the time of my birth, they’d left Maine within the footsteps of the train depot wherever the sweepers accustomed have lunch. one among them had a form heart, and he took Maine in. He provided Maine with food and shelter from the little that he attained. Whenever I checked out his face, I saw God. And God was nothing like however they portray in calendars and pictures. God looked a bit like a normal man, however with a heart of gold. Since then he had been with Maine all told my battles that were very robust to overcome, to place it gently. As a lot of and a lot of folks came to understand the reality regarding Maine, they started distancing themselves from Maine and everything associated with Maine, and shortly my world was shrunken to merely my very little home. Folks felt ashamed of reprimand Maine. No one wished to the touch Maine, being scared of acquiring the ‘disease’ out of the blue. Folks stared at Maine publicly transport, their curious eyes shooting queries that felt like poisoned arrows.

My name was known as. My trembling feet carried Maine into the space. I stood there whereas the enquirer was busy scribbling one thing on his pad of paper. i used to be asked to sit down. once I settled, he said, “So, Ms. Ketaki…,” and he researched. He was dumbfounded. That was the instant I knew I used to be another time doomed. I mustn’t have even daunted writing exams; my heart told Maine as a result of there was no use. One explores Maine and every one my exertions get tossed into the trash.

Books Reviews on Book Zero to One By Sanjeev Himachali

I love to scan books written by freelance thinkers World Health Organization aren’t afraid to pen down their disputed thoughts. during this regard, Peter Thiel is unquestionably AN outlier. The book is regarding what recommendation he would have given to his younger self if he may travel back in time once he was graduating high school or school. This book offers over simply Entrepreneurial insights. it’s some general however helpful advise, like, hear the people that tell you what they need they knew once they were your age. One will avoid plenty of mistakes. Thiel’s primary purpose during this book is that making a game-changing company means that going from zero to one—from nothing to one thing, rather than going from one thing to a rather higher one thing. What a zero-to-one company will insist to AN uninhabited stretch of the market area so as to form a monopoly. A monopoly, in Thiel’s vocabulary, isn’t the dangerous kind we have a tendency to go along with bullies. It’s the nice kind that releases valuable market territory by doing one thing new.

zero-to-one

Zero to at least one is price reading, albeit you’re not engaged within the world of start-ups and working capital. It’s filled with distinctive, sensible insights, and discusses success in terms of attribute and culture. If you would like to know the thinking that goes behind dynamical the globe and learns the strategies and dos and don’ts that build that modification potential, then I’d recommend reading this book many times.

This book did 2 helpful things to me: showed a lot of abstract thanks to having faith in business – like learning algebra via ancient approaches vs. learning it because the mathematics of linear operators AND created it easier to know several business concepts/ insights. It embeds a great deal of current business thinking in an exceedingly historical and maybe philosophical context, showing larger-scale trends and hidden incentive structures that designate what we have a tendency to see. My rating for this book is 5/5

Importance of Employee Inductions and some key Points

Induction, or new Employee Orientation, is outlined because the method once a brand new worker is being introduced to his/her new company’s vision, mission, policies, surroundings, and culture. The Employee Orientation method lays the groundwork to course into their new role associate degreed ensures effective integration of an worker into his/her new firm. for several workers, the induction method is that the time to bond with peers similarly on gauge if he/she created the correct call in connection the corporate.

Employee Induction

An engaging and informative induction results in worker satisfaction, thereby eliminating the germination of thoughts of ‘quitting’ the corporate whereas on probation. As is that the case with the other organized company-wide meeting, the duty to handle the induction method falls beneath the scope of the Human Resource department.

Being associate degree unit of time manager, i think that the concept is to form bound that the Employee Orientation method holds most attention and also the minimum snooze issue. associate degree worker at a multi-national firm recounts his experience:

“My expertise with the induction method at an enormous multi-national firm wasn’t associate degree enriching expertise. In fact, it absolutely was a nap fest. The speakers explained the corporate culture and ethics in an exceedingly monotonous tone. it absolutely was not interspersed with humor nor was laced with anecdotes. It appeared a lot of just like the speakers were group action with themselves and were donnish. They didn’t permit a sleek discussion to prove between the participants. Felt a lot of sort of a classroom!”

The essence of any orientation or induction method is to permit the staff to feel that their opinions, similarly as their services, ar essential for the organization to grow.

While handling accomplishment, I actually have seasoned the strain once new hires leave the organization. Since the induction method is associate degree integrated a part of the responsibilities of the unit of time team, we have a tendency to cannot withdraw from fulfilling it either. several unit of time personnel says that whereas induction method could be a ‘fun-time’ for brand new hires, for the unit of time team to make that ‘fun’ is really heavy. it’s hard to interact and entertain a bunch of grown-ups. death penalty a uniform set up helps unit of time produce a scientific induction method that yields positive results.

A year when the set up was place into action, it absolutely was determined successful. New hires were proud of the induction method. They felt snug and were ready to integrate swimmingly into the organization. one in every of the feedbacks we have a tendency to received mentioned that new hires simply connected with peers and now not felt alienated from one another. one in every of the steps we have a tendency to took was to change a mentoring method by permitting a brand new worker shadow a current worker; this approach helped the new employee get at home with the company’s mission and vision similarly as different workers.

Everything that we have a tendency to do “First” holds a special place in our hearts. once my engineering, I went for my interview for Associate in Nursing position.

The interview was a small amount informal. currently, once I reminisce, I assume the queries were framed to measure my mentality and my temperament to require the chance.
