People are very important resources.  HR is like glue which holds the entire team and becomes a strategic partner.  Nobody is up to the mark.  The HR drive must take an employee up to his/her mark. 

Dr Nirmalya Bagchi said all of us deal with HR.  There is a HR quotient in each one of us.  So, we all are HR Managers.  Good HR processes make a simple man a ssuperhuman being.

If the nation has to reach 30 trillion US $ economy as envisaged by our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the HR professionals who guide human resources thereby company is equally accountable, said R. Ravi Kumar, Vice President of FTCCI.

Meela Sanjay, Chairperson of the HR Committee said in the process of judging the awards it found two glaring trends.  One was that most companies focused on employee engagement activities and initiatives to increase their happiness quotient.  Another trend found was a set of small and medium companies were way behind in using Technology in their HR Practices.

On the occasion, a report on organisations’ Best HR Practices was unveiled.

Kalyan Duvva, Founder of ServHR speaking about HR Practices said small and medium organisations depend heavily on referrals for hiring when compared to large organisations.  It has been observed that the cost of hiring an employee in small and medium companies is 25% more than in large companies.  On average, 5.5% of new joiners depart the firm within the first six months across the industry.
