INAUGURATING THE HR CLUB – On Friday, July 31, 2009

Prof Philip addressed the gathering, welcoming everyone to the inauguration of the HR club. He also briefed the gathering about the recent programs and activities conducted at XIME. He spoke with pride about the diversity and richness of the students in XIME.

The chief guest for the evening, Mr. Pratik Kumar, Executive Vice President HR, Wipro Ltd spoke of the radically changed times that we are going through and how it affected individuals and organizations alike.  There is no organization that is untouched by the present situation and hence as HR managers it is important to be able to show empathy and genuine concern for employees who need to be laid off and also extend support.  A good HR manager must have knowledge of the business which allows him to be accepted in the team. HR must have knowledge about his function and an opportunity to lead so that he can contribute, influence and lead change.  He said that as HR professionals, we have to face many challenges and cope with myriad changes. The biggest change an HR manager can make in the organization is by being able to establish his own plank of personal credibility.

He hoped that the HR club at XIME produced professionals ready to take on corporate challenges that lay ahead of them and wished us luck in our future endeavors.

My opinion…

As the name suggest HRM obviously deals with people…but also they r the people who brings profits in… As HR we need to always ensure the profitability of the organisation in our processes by making it mor cost effective, efficient and effective…

even HR works as business partner in many organisations..so paradigm for HRM is changing very rapidly in current business environment..
