Corporate's favorite sport: HR Bashing! But why everyone enjoys the HR bashing?

Looking forward to the talk Gopal A Iyer

For those of you, who don't know Nathan SV much, check out this video when he was moderating the Heavy Weight stellar NHRD Bangalore Chapter, debate on the subject: Start-ups and young companies don't need HR heads!
If you are in HR and have not watched this video, you have missed a millennial talk on HR and it's existence and worth in the eyes of the most celebrated business heads, including the one's who spent 25 years in HR before they turned the table..
Here is the link. It's sad to see the wrong spelling of Deloitte in the video title...No one cared to even look at it and correct it. :(

I wish Gopal talks about this debate , where even the folks who had to debunk and counter the naysayers to HR Head at the start were actually beating HR black and blue...
Vineet Nayar and Richard Rekhy, you guys are not alone in writing an epitaph for HR....
Hari TN had a great view on what HR is expected to do at that startup/small and fast paced new firm. Rightfully so, if you looked at his generals in HR that he hired at VP levels, they were not any of those celebrated and media sensations in HR...
HR means business. HR is just a part of overall business strategy. like marketing, investor relations, supply chain, and various other streams of business. HR is not about HR heads.
I wish Gopal talked to Nathan about such topics as those raised in this debate.

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] . The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with no...

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

Why Organizations are so BAD at Talent Management? A curious case below..

Founded in 2019 in South San Francisco, ProcDNA has grown 2x in 24 months....from 100 to 200 as of Feb 25th as you see the snapshot below. I was looking at their India staff data looking actively for jobs as evident on Naukri.com, a leading job portal in India. For past 30 days, 39 staff in India looking out actively. If you check for past 2 months, this number inflates to 49. Median tenure of staff here is 8 months. What interests me are the following: 27 jobs posted on LinkedIn and 9 out of them are just repetitions. Same job posted many times (5x at times). There is only 1 Director level job is up there as far as senior open roles are concerned. Many jobs have titles like Senior/Associate/Assistant Engagement Lead, etc. Below are 4 senior staff in key roles who are active on Naukri.com , looking for next job. What's wrong here? Nothing....they are just looking out...:) ....But that's a self fulfilling thought, right, especially when you are the co...

Reflections: the stoic way!
