How Can CHROs Impact Business Efficiency?
 
Sadaf Rahman,

Sr Knowledge Advisor, SHRM , SHRM India  

Payroll Management is a high-inertia and low-involvement category, which tends to operate in the background for most organizations.

In the absence of a structured framework for evaluating the best features of a payroll tool and limited insights into the category, organizations don't have the means to assess the apt payroll tools. Furthermore, as organizations scale up the intricacies of managing diverse compensation structures, tax implications, and compliance requirements amplify exponentially.

To address these issues, we invite you to join us on September 22nd at 12:00 noon for an exclusive webinar in partnership with RazorpayX to explore the crucial question: "How Can CHROs impact business efficiency?" that will delve into the factors influencing payroll maturity and emphasise the critical need for organisations to assess payroll maturity for company-wide efficiency and improved employee experience.

Employees are more eager for AI to lift the weight off work than they are afraid of job loss to AI. “While 49% of people say they are worried AI will replace their jobs, even more - 70% - would delegate as much work as possible to AI to lessen their workloads.” Microsoft 2023.

As the debate about Chat GPT and Generative AI taking over and replacing several jobs rages on; we bring to you a parallel debate on the role AI continues to play in the talent management landscape. At the same time, while we are evolving on our talent management techniques, some basics remain the same. Or do they?

The Great Talent Debate | Season 2 brings to you some of these interesting conundrums:

  • Is it still the 9-box grid when evaluating talent management for effectively identifying potential and evaluating performance
    OR
    Boxing talent is no longer relevant, it’s about continuous feedback loops and evolving opportunities
  • Is AI changing the recruitment landscape and making talent acquisition more inclusive
    OR
    Is it onslaught of talent selection technology limiting the objectivity and discretion of the recruiters/hiring managers
  • How do organizations become mindful of the ethical considerations and ensure that they are using AI in a responsible and transparent matter
    OR
    Is AI beyond bias and we can trust it implicitly?

"The 100 top-ranked companies by Great Places to Work have outperformed the market by 3.23X in the last 20 years…”

Organizations with a truly diverse workforce and inclusive environments see positive impacts in company performance. Yet, many of them fail due to lack of the right culture to support achieving that goal, especially from a workforce management perspective.

“How can we measure the different aspects of culture?

When there are strict policies around breaks / shift times – How can we ensure that there is no sweet heart scheduling?

How can we ensure equity and fairness in workforce management?

How can we leverage technology to our advantage to achieve high performing culture?”…are some of the questions that are on the top of every manager and HRs mind.

Join this webinar to know more on how leveraging technology can help organizations operationalize Equity & Inclusiveness by eliminating bias, introducing flexibility at work within a guided framework that enhances productivity and by tracking indicators that matter.

Great Reshuffle: How Organizations Can Hold on to Critical Talent
 
Piyush Mehta,

Chief Human Resource Officer, Genpact 

Nishith Upadhyaya,

Senior Director - Advisory, SHRM India, APAC & MENA 

The Great Reshuffle has led to multiple competing talent management priorities. With employees moving to the driver’s seat, flexibility, well-being, benefits, and empathy-led leadership are becoming must-haves for organizations. Considering an increasingly hybrid environment, leaders need to step up and sustain the connection between people, and the organization’s mission.

This KnowledgeCast will discuss what it takes for HR leaders to create a new management framework that is a win-win for employers and employees and ensures the retention of high-potential talent. This industry-expert-led discussion will explore the approach that organizations should adopt to ensure there is no gap between the culture within and the employer value proposition for the world outside.

What you’ll learn:

  • According to the SHRM Global Culture Report 2022, 9 out of 10 workers who rate their culture as poor have thought about quitting. What distinguishes organizations that have been able to retain and prepare their rising stars for post-promotion success?
  • A ‘hybrid paradox’ has emerged as a result of people wanting increased flexibility and at the same time yearning for human connection. How can people managers be prepared to discern and overcome it?
  • During the downturn, when an organization is struggling and asks employees to tough it out, the star performers are most likely to be the first ones to say, “No thanks. I’d rather find an employer who appreciates the high level of contributions I’m making.” What must employers do differently during tough times to retain star performers?

The emerging contours of the new world of work in the Fourth Industrial Revolution are rapidly becoming a lived reality for millions of workers and companies around the world. India has one of the largest workforces in the world: With nearly 500 million people of working age, the domestic labor market is second only to China's and far bigger than those of the United States and the EU.

India also has a much younger population, with an average age of 26.8 years. Tens of millions of students graduate from colleges across the country every year, entering the workforce. But the South Asian nation lags behind many of its peers when it comes to imparting skills needed for youth to become employable.

The country is facing an acute skill deficit, needs of the industries are evolving with each passing day thereby, increasing the concerns over employability. We have a big challenge of Growing skills instability: Given the wave of new technologies and trends disrupting business models, pandemic, the changing division of labor between workers and machines transforming current job profiles, the skills required to perform most jobs will have shifted demand of existing skills today, but also between today’s skills base and future skills requirements.

• Is succession planning still relevant?
• Is leadership development working?

The world of work has been rapidly evolving. The recent pandemic accelerated the shift and necessitated new measures to cope with novel challenges. With the influx of new work models, talent management is now at a crucial cusp. Talent acquisition, too, has been revisited in last two years in response to obstacles like the great resignation.
There's an absolute business impact between hiring right talent and the bottom line.
Recruiting new employees is not cheap. Many employers estimate the total cost to hire a new employee can be three to four times the position's salary.
Today recruiting strategies are prompted by hypercompetitive labor market, including hiring to train and developing internal talent, reprioritizing what is expected from recruiters, and perfecting the candidate experience.

Join us on this webinar; together with our panel of experts, we explore:

• Why do existing hiring practices need revisiting? And, how is talent acquisition in the 2020s different from the 2010s?
• The role of technology in new-age talent acquisition goes beyond resumes and geographies
• The new ways to engage and hire your target audience for the best ROI

By ensuring upskilling of a diverse workforce and preparing them to embrace disruption, the people agenda in alignment with business goals can help create a win-win.

In the world, there is only one way to translate ideas to reality & dreams to success: To communicate effectively.

Organizations have long understood the benefits of recruiting on college and university campuses as a way to attract the best and the brightest. Historically, employers developed relationships with schools as a way to source niche talent or fill a general pipeline of interns and entry-level hires

To top the challenge, in the past few years, India has witnessed an ever-increasing employability gap. India Skills Report 2022 by a well-known assessment firm, says only 48.7% of total youth in India is employable!

Corporate recruiters from around the world continue to list communication and interpersonal competencies as top skills employers seek.

Whether it be with your manager, new team member, customer or vendor, clarity in communication is a much-desired skillset indispensable for personal growth and success. And though it may sound basic, many individuals, educational institutes and business leaders neglect this vital skillset, which can derail them from the path of success.

While at one end we are talking about this employability gap and the other we are constantly hearing the buzz about future ready talent. Campus and Corporate are often seen as two different realms that operate on different platforms with different purposes and ideologies.

However, in dynamic times as these, there is a need that these two different worlds come together under one umbrella to address and tackle some real-world issues and challenges.

Listen to subject matter experts in Japan and resource persons from around the world, discuss challenges and success stories in the realm of human resources.
The first in the series of webinars is on the theme: ‘How to Create a Successful Global Team’
The need for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) at the workplace has been gaining momentum globally in the recent years. The most recent trend in this space is to ensure a sense of purpose and belonging in each and every employee as part of the workforce, in order to bring out their best at work.
While this is easy to relate to and envision, implementation of the DE&I policy often brings along with it, several challenges. Right from ensuring the right organizational climate led by the top management, to making provisions in the infrastructure, call for a huge level of commitment from all stakeholders. Some geographies have made significant progress, and everyone stands to learn from progress made on various fronts.
This webinar is a great opportunity to learn from global best practices in the DE&I space in terms of how countries with diverse nationalities and ethnicities practice DE&I, and run successful global teams.
Join this webinar as presenters from Japan and India share their thoughts on creating successful global teams while referring to real-life case scenarios.
From Japan, Yoko Ishikawa, founder, and CEO of Aileron Co., Ltd., provides ‘Global Team Building Training Where Japanese and Foreigners Can Grow Together’ to Japanese organizations based on specialized knowledge of Japanese language education.

How then, should organizations go about creating perfect employee journeys for their people?

The E-I-E formula holds the key:

• Empowering employees by giving them clarity about how their work contributes to organizational goals
• Inspiring employees by partaking in the core mission and values of the organization
• Enabling them with the right tools to make them the most productive

Unless one has renounced this social world, one clearly knows the importance of diversity in the workplace. It's much beyond a trend or a workplace ratio to fulfil. Its indeed a social responsibility to embrace diversity and be inclusive in the workplace. A diverse mix of voices leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone. It's a pathway that every corporate needs to walk along to bring better prospects and productivity. Businesses often pride themselves on their diversity initiatives in the workplace, but the hidden danger of recruiting bias means limits candidate options during the hiring process. Maybe you don’t even know you’re doing it, but everyone has internal biases, whether consciously or unconsciously. Here, technology has come to the rescue and is successfully helping eliminate any discrimination. It builds objectivity in the hiring process, giving an equal and fair opportunity to both the employers and employees. 2 Join us as we hear from the experts on how technology is supporting in creating aspirational workforces for the future.Webinar

Trends show that the search for “ near me” have grown 3X in the past three years, clearly indicating that consumers are turning to digital to find what they need, nearby. The lockdown has made our homes the epicenter as work has moved with the employee to their home or hometown.
As the work from home curtain unveils , corporate world is experiencing a shift in the workers expectations from their jobs fueling the need for flexibility to unknown heights.
Workers enjoy completing tasks according to their own schedules, instead of having to arrive at the office and leaving work at the same time every single day. Work life integration has not only become an invaluable employee engagement proposition but also a key differentiating factor in attracting good talent for many organizations.
This isn't merely a theory. A recent study of Indian IT professionals revealed that organizations that provide employees with flexible work arrangements see greater levels of engagement & are less likely than others to experience burnout. Also, different types of people benefit from different working environments. While some enjoy to work free from distraction, others crave for dynamic spaces to interact and collaborate. Collaborative workspaces are the future of attracting and retaining talent ,the key to the great retention in many ways!

The only shortcut to success they say is through Learning !

Whether pursuing personal interests and passions or chasing professional ambitions, lifelong learning supports personal fulfillment and satisfaction.
The onset of the pandemic saw the expansion of remote work. The value of certain skill sets increased and hybrid working changed how companies go about building them.

The renewed importance of L&D initiatives is not lost on employers as global L&D professionals confirm that training employees to fill skill gaps is the top priority since the pandemic.
But in the age of plenty (of choices to focus on) and scarcity of time, it becomes crucial for learners and organizations to identify critical areas to invest their time and resources in.

“Total Wellbeing is no longer a line item, but a Defining Policy Measure and a Clear Determinant in shaping Organisations as Talent Magnets."
With remote working becoming a norm, employees are already feeling the pressure of long working hours from the confines of their respective workspaces. Those concomitant zoom and teams call, and long sitting hours are leaving less space to focus on personal health and if there is one thing which professionals and organisations around the world have recognised is the need for preventive healthcare at workplaces. Rapid digitisation has led to advent of teleconsultation & telemedicine which as per our MoS has the potential to save 5bn$ annually for India while ensuring timely, cost-effective and quick access to consultations. Total Wellbeing is no longer a line item, but a defining policy measure and a clear determinant in shaping Organisations as talent magnets. This has led to a growing realisation and importance of not just offering preventive healthcare measures to employees but also empowering them through tech innovations happening in healthcare.

Creating a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion Through Digital Coaching 
Naila Abdul Karim,

Senior Behavioral Scientist,CoachHub

We live in an increasingly connected and globalized world. Technology has played a huge part in enabling this global connection through social networks, digital tools and workspaces, and increased automation as well as bringing people much closer. Beyond everyday life, globalization and technology have also changed our workplaces resulting in more diverse teams in terms of age, experience, gender, ethnicity, physical and neurological abilities, culture, religious beliefs and functional background, than ever before.

South East Asia (SEA) is said to have more than 100 ethnic groups and 655 million people who speak over 1,000 languages and dialects (Think with Google, 2021). Making it one of the most diverse regions in the world. Unfortunately, what gets lost in translation is the region’s significant hidden diversity. In a study done, it was found that 57% of employees in SEA would leave a company to move to a one with a more inclusive work culture. Not only is diversity and inclusion helping retain talent but also 71% of consumers are more likely to buy a product that aligns with their values (BCG, 2020). Therefore, it's crucial to understand what has been stopping organizations and teams from embracing diversity and inclusiveness as well as what can help overcome such barriers.

Studies reveal that the mid-career choices can make or break a lady employee’s professional journey. Right from the lack of a robust support system while the infamous 3Ms (Marriage, Maternity & Mobility) cast its spell on career growth, to relying on their self-confidence to be on ‘top of their game’, the mid-career years can be particularly challenging for women.

Understandably, when organizations take cognizance of this aspect and rise up to the occasion, miracles happen. This session is designed to help organizations to own up and pre-empt the challenges that women professionals are likely to face when it comes to sustaining their mid management careers.

A customer’s path to making a purchase today involves many more touch points than it did in the past. In fact, research shows that buyers will interact with your business 10 times on average for every purchasing decision they make. That’s a lot of separate opportunities to win or lose a sale to. In a world where the sales process has made way to the buying process, nothing exists in isolation. Everything can be looked up, researched and compared to sway the mind of the decision maker.
Changing workforce, evolving business models, rising competition, lack of accurate data points or inability of the sellers to draw insights from them add to the woes of sales leaders.
Hence, recruiting the right-fit candidates and supporting their development to impactfully navigate through these market dynamics becomes the fulcrum of high-performing sales organizations.
Join us on this webinar as we draw insights from SHL's research analytics to unlock the full potential of talent. Our esteemed panel will shed light on how organisations can
Leverage human experience and data-driven insights, to help sales teams get clarity on where they are, where they need to be, and most importantly, how to mobilize talent and resources to get there.

Key Learning Outcomes

• Understand the Sales environment
• Clarity on whom you need and what they do
• Build that "winning Sales team"

The shift from Employer’s market to an Employee one has happened drastically, with employees leaving jobs either looking for instant gratification by chasing higher pay packages OR wanting to stay put on pandemic era relief programs. For HR this means fighting battles on various fronts from relooking at the Sourcing strategy, Optimising the hiring matrices to reflect today’s scenarios, reworking on the Compensation & Benefits plans to make it competitive enough and creating excellent employee experiences leading to enhanced retention of talent. One of the biggest dilemma is to actually decode the whole problem statement from a Talent’s purview, understanding their motivations, actions and reaction leading to this great tsunami which has caused upheaval.

The great resignation has brought the need for fair and transparent appraisals in the spotlight – more than ever before. Gone are the days of the ominous Bell curve and the L curve, and all the limitations it brought along, which employees were expected to abide by - with no questions asked! The new-age workplace calls for a more evolved PMS process, replete with compassionate leadership.

High on collaboration and high on communication has come to be the magic formula for success.
• Focus on inclusive leadership to ensure continuous commitment to equality, thereby achieving vision, is an indelible facet of progressive organizations.
• The need for effective leadership to provide direction, alignment and evoke commitment amongst team members is at an all-time high.
• Collective leadership that takes into consideration, interdependencies and inculcates a sense of responsibility is the need of the hour.
• Ensuring sustainable efforts to leverage mutual support and ethical conflict management by exemplifying systems leadership is equally important.

Remote Working advocates are rejoicing as the pandemic proves their theory of future working models to be right. Organizations have been propelled to accept the new normal and work towards designing processes that can make this a sustainable and successful shift for employers and employees alike.
While they try to establish their position in the remote vs. in-office spectrum, there is an increasing focus on the reward approach that aligns with a hybrid workplace model. Employees are incurring higher personal expenditure on home office infrastructure to minimize disruption to work. Company-provided transport, commuting allowance, onsite food coupons, amongst other allowances, don’t seem to be relevant any longer.
Remote working, in essence, has blurred the definition of a standard workday and thereby the benefits in a standard compensation structure.

Most organizations today understand the importance of recruiting talent whose authenticity they could verify beyond a piece of paper, because it concerns the credibility of their firm, safety of their employees, customers and the general perception at large and this becomes the most compelling reason for them to run background checks.
Performing integrity and background screening is a necessary part of the hiring process. The more important the position and access to sensitive data, the more crucial the need for background screening. Many companies conduct their screening only when a person is hired, rather than throughout the entire tenure of an employee. This is where many companies have weaknesses in security risks. In a world wherein the definition of a workplace is getting blurred and talent osmosis through borderless economy becoming a norm, employment verification of potential future employees has become a critical measure of a recruitment index.

The stronger the employer brand, the higher is the chance to attract the right candidates. It is rightfully viewed as a report card that reflects the experience & interaction of the past candidates and prospective talent with the organisation during the hiring process.

With social recruitment gaining momentum, it's imperative for organisations to continually improve the candidate experience that is likely to be posted all over social media for the talent world to see.

Organisations that can connect the unconnected will gain a competitive edge and be able to drive growth in an increasingly dispersed world of work.

It is all about using the right technology, and starts with effective communication that gets delivered or is accessible to the right workers at the right time. It is also about seamless conversations between employees and leaders, and within teams, where information is freely shared and is insightful for the business.

A connected organisation that encourages open communication leads to a culture of innovation, meaningful community, employee engagement and satisfaction.

The pandemic has accelerated digital adoption in education too. The luxury of attending class from the comfort of our homes is so attractive. Minimum attendance is a breeze as all you have to is log in. Online exams are fun because most often it involves ticking a box in an MCQ style paper. A good laptop and a decent internet bandwidth - and you can ace college courses! On the flip side – skills like willingness to learn, interpersonal and communication skills, team player skills are important factors in determining employability. They may be better learnt through physical classes and interacting face-to-face with fellow students & faculty. Fields like engineering, medical sciences, culinary arts, hospitality, etc., require physical presence and on-the-job training to acquire skills. Online learning cannot prepare students well enough to take on ground responsibilities. Our distinguished panel will throw light on both sides of the argument, and maybe arrive at a workable solution.

The debate format:
• The lead speaker from each side, for and against, will get 2 minutes to make their opening statements
• Next, each side will get 2 minutes to make a rebuttal
• The moderator will ask questions to each side for clarifications & recommendations
• After a 1/2-hour discussion the moderator will invite teams from academia for their inputs.

Key takeaways:
• Hear from corporate leaders the benefits & challenges of online education, with specific reference to employability.
• Get inputs from HODs & students of prestigious academic institutions
• Knowledge on the SHRM membership which gives you access to a wealth of information, global research, articles, management tools, etc.

Leveraging data analytics to generate insights on EX practices can be a game-changer for organizations. While companies have accelerated their digital transformation, easy access to clean, accurate data and intelligent insights about their employees is still something they struggle with.

Improving your workplace’s employee experience is more than adding new digital solutions in HR. It also means changing mindsets, bringing multiple stakeholders together, connecting all the dots and getting a unified view, in order to humanize your company’s interactions with every individual employee.

In this Webcast, join our experts as they will debate aspects of how clean and integrated data can be leveraged for a great EX.

Critical thinking relates to 6 of the World Economic Forum's Top 10 Job Skills of Tomorrow. But, what you may not realize is that critical thinking requires writing. Critical thinking instructors use writing to build critical thinking skills. Strong critical thinkers use writing to structure and communicate their thinking.

As such, writing is the lifeblood of any organization. It's how ideas are developed, shared, decided upon, and executed. It's how employees communicate internally and externally. Your company's perceived competence is equivalent to your least competent writer who interacts with customers. Your company's speed of execution and idea quality both relate to your employees' abilities to write. The highest-performing companies in the world are great at writing.

So, how do you evaluate and build critical thinking and writing skills in your company? This panel discussion will explore how companies think about critical thinking and writing in hiring, learning and development, and promotions. We'll explore what companies are doing today and what they're planning to do in the future. You'll walk away with ideas for how you can implement writing and critical thinking evaluation and development within your company.

The future of EX Personalization - Candidate to Alumni EX Predictions

Kiran Menon,

The experience people have at work is becoming a vital part of an organization’s ability to thrive. Employees want their organization to provide a workplace experience that matches what they’ve come to expect as customers and in other areas of their life: meaningful, personalized, user-friendly and digital. And just as customers can be swayed by their experience with a company, so can employees be swayed into delivering fabulous work results.
Consumer experiences today are no longer limited to a product or service–people are influenced by reputation, social media, delivery channels and possibly the entire global supply chain. Similarly, managing a great employee experience is about paying attention to the moments that truly matter in an employee’s day, year and career. By working to provide great experiences, you tap into the passions of people for their work.
SHRM in partnership with Tydy is bringing SHRM Originals, a content-led series to delve deep into the domain of employee experience, to gain an understanding of the finer nuance of it from experts and leading practitioners.
In this series, we will further explore:

1. How critical is personalization to the whole EX story?
2. How can data help in enhancing the EX?
3. How can the field of EX learn from evolved practices in Customer Experience (CX)?

2) Tabulate the reimbursement data on time & accurate reporting of the organization’s financials for faster closing of books
3) How many FTEs are employed for data entry?

Succession strategies for Business growth in a hybrid, post pandemic world 
Rajiv Kumar
Vice President & Country Leader for SumTotal Systems

“The leadership shortage is one of the biggest barriers to growth, prosperity and sustainability of organizations. We are always in a state of war – the war for talent has been a greater predictor against the war for business.

In fact, hiring smart talent for unique, time defining & critical roles is the top challenge facing organizations worldwide, with 86 percent of companies rating it “urgent” or “important. This talent becomes even more pressing as ageing leaders retire and millennials assume leadership roles with skillsets that didn’t exist say five years back. However, poor leadership decisions have proven to be a key contributor to both low engagement and low productivity in the workplace.

Effective succession planning through tech enabled and data driven approach is the missing element. Ensuing Covi-19 and Pandemic, clearly demarcated the importance of right leadership at the top, with many organisations converting chaos in to an opportunity while others left exposed with their fault lines given their inability to adapt to change with agility.

As the world normalises and we all find our own, what does this whole experiences teaches us? Are we better enlightened, learned and prepared to lead our workforce and businesses in to the future? What should be our succession strategy of the future to ensure we win the war for talent to succeed in business?

Please join me in this session with our esteemed panelists, as we discuss the succession strategies for driving business growth in a hybrid post pandemic world!

1. Role of HR technology in identifying business critical roles and a talent success profile?
2. How are talent succession strategies of future going to be different from the past? Can we truly make our leaders future ready?
3. Role of culture, business fit, vision fit, tech savviness and agility in shaping up leaders of future?

Leveraging behavioral science in HR: Better expense management experience.

Did you know that happier employees deliver better business impact for their organization? Not only are happier employees more productive- they are also the new age brand ambassadors of the company.

Payroll and reimbursement experience contributes significantly towards employee satisfaction. Payroll and reimbursement process experience makes a significant impact on employee happiness. Reimbursements paid out in less than 3 days from the date of submission have significantly improved ESAT scores. Digitization of the employee reimbursement process is necessary to reduce the payout time to less than 3 days & also leads to faster submissions.

In the First Episode, experts will have a discussion to understand how behavioral science can help generate greater employee experience.
