On Demand Paradigm

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

A new star is born. I think, long time back, it was charter jet division in civil aviation, which found the model of part ownership even in commodities market.

On Demand, is the befitting trend of world now, a brainy idea indeed, I still remember sharing fountainhead or Douglas Adam back in my hostel dorms, sharing is coming back to us once again but in a different face. After the advent of Internet, world has never been the same, we are at a phase of transition, where most of the people don’t even know what is going around them, or how to scale the impacts of social media. Consider an audience of magnitude 1.3 billion; had Internet been a name of a country, it would be the 2nd largest country in the whole world. And the most fascinating part here is that they are all connected through a single platform, where they have similar attributes, similar characteristics and similar needs.

A pretty evident phenomenon these days is the changing mindset of people. We had a world where every CEO wanted his employees to adapt computer into him, but now people are working hard for computers to adapt the real world.

New business models are coming up every day, leveraging Internet is a revolutionary phase which is as big as something like industrial revolution happened long time back. Being at the marketing forefront of HumInt Consulting, it delights me to an infinite extent that we are launching a product to the second largest country (Internet) of the world. Catering to a global user is so attractive that no one wants to miss the bus.

Whereby the most distinguishing element of web 2.0 promotions is high degree of participation it requires to be effective, which also signifies the role of consumer engagement to the brand, product, company, and people.

Transition is also significantly contributing to the financials borne by the HumInt’s clients; technology is becoming inexpensive day by day, technology investment often a lightweight overlay to existing infrastructure. Production units are completely out now, in last decade three major brands came up were all on internet, and they never had production facilities, in Manufacturing we had Research, Development & Production, now only R&D is required. This major reduction from the overall production cost is benefitting the clients in a major way.

Does Market need a Modern HRMS?

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

In today’s time of economy slowdown where increasing headcount of the organization is no longer feasible, the HRs faces the challenge of getting the more out of the existing workforce. Thus the need of the hour is to provide special attention to the Human Capital Management. There is an asking of change in the recruiting methodologies for new hiring as well as adopting a unified approach for the talent development in your existing employees. The training program in the organization is no longer a one time effort put into the new hiring. There is also a need to fill the skill gap of the existing workforce. So the HRs today must ensure to provide Continuous Learning and Professional Development Program in order to enhance the skill set of the current employees. This would provide the organization with the right people having the right skills, leading to the increased productivity in the organization. Thus Learning Management becomes a necessary HR function in any organization.

Apart from generating talent in the workforce, HRs also face the challenge of retaining them. Though the headcount in the organization is on freeze where new hiring is not taking place, there still undergoes a ‘War on Talent’ among the organizations for the skilled and talented resource. Spending a fortune on the development of the ‘talent’, and then not being able to retain him could be the worst nightmare for any HR. In spite of putting up huge expenditures on benefits and compensation plans for the employees, the organization is not able to retain them for a long period. This clearly demonstrates that monitory benefits alone do not attract the employee as much as the opportunity of a desired career growth would. Thus the need today is not to have only organizational development as the sole aim, there is a dire need of fulfilling the growth aspirations of the employee as well. Thus the right strategy today would be to align employee’s performance goals with the organizational goals and objectives. Thus the Goal Management becomes a necessary HR function in any organization.

Keeping in mind the challenges of an HR discussed in the above sections, it can be concluded that Learning Management and Goal Management have become the essential part of Personnel Management. Both Learning Management and Goal Management can be brought under the one umbrella of Talent Management. Thus Talent Management can be viewed as a practice of implementing Learning Management and Goal Management in an organization. Apart from these two very important HR functions, Talent Management practices will also incorporate Succession Planning by creating a pool of Leadership Potentials. Thus Talent Management becomes a key to the development of leadership skills in the senior and middle level management of the organization. This could be considered as the best strategy to avoid business disruption due to talent shortage.

By far now it can be concluded that the Talent Management System has become an essential feature of the HRM system. Gone are the days when HRM systems were merely a utility for Personnel Administration and were used for performing the very basic HR tasks like payrolls, compensations, shift planning, recruitments etc. Today, for the better Personnel Management, the traditional HRM system must also possess an Automated Talent Management System which can make it possible to implement the Talent Management practices on an organization level. This is required as the Talent Management cannot be implemented by ad hoc measures and a more holistic and unified approach is required for the Talent Development. This integration of the Automated TMS with traditional HRM systems is required to adapt to the current needs of the HR Management.

The HRM Solution by Humint promises to revolutionize the Personnel Management of your organization. This more advanced, more feature-rich HRM solution offers you an entirely new approach to look at the Personnel Management which we have named as ‘CARE’ approach to the Human Resource Management.
