It is apparent that HR is evolving into a function that needs to be flexible and adaptable to deal with notions such as culture and engagement, and, facts such as productivity and leadership. Thus, HR needs to be highly intuitive with respect to the requirement of an organization towards growth and progress.
As businesses are evolving rapidly amidst an increas- ingly global and a complex work environment, it is ex-pected from HR to digress from processing to solutions, and move from mundane operations to create strategies that support the vision of the organization. HR has made great strides from being a mere recruit- ment and administration utility to a strategic and a core function, which leads new-age initiatives across tal- ent management, employee engage- ment, culture, productivity and de- velopment. Today, most large and small business groups have talent management programmes to create a talent pipeline and groom potential leaders from the initial career cycles, and the core purpose is to assist them to become effective leaders for their respective employers. At the same time, this is made to ensure that they successfully imbibe the ethos, values and culture of the organization.
