“It’s a good time for a honest debate on some of the people related trends. In these times of turbulent change, I think debating and understanding the basic principles will help guide our thinking. Personally, I look forward to The Great HR debate,” says Krish Shankar, Group Head- Human Resources, Infosys, who will give a special address at the conference.
“The Metaverse is a reality unfolding around us with tremendous potential to transform the hybrid workplace, but not without its share of concerns around cost and accessibility in the short term and social implications in the longer term. I look forward to sharing my thoughts at the ‘The Great HR Debate’ organized by HRKatha on 17th February,” says Sailesh Menezes, Sr. Director & Head – HR, India Geography, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.
“It’s high time we focused on what the employee wants, rather than what companies need. And about time the employee is seen as a customer – an internal customer! This change in mindset is what will drive employee experience, and put a spotlight on how the employee sees the environment. After all, once she/he joins an organisation, its an environment that they will be in, and employee experience is all about that they see, hear & feel in that environment. And the environment includes colleagues, culture, processes, infrastructure….in short, everything that makes up the environment in the organisation. Its akin to how you would be treated if you entered someone’s home as a guest, and continue to stay there for the long term. Are we ready to see this from an employee’s perspective? Do we treat the employee as a customer? Join us at the Great HR Debate to find out!,” says Ravi Kumar Sr. President & CPO, Page Industries.
