Further to my initial message, I would like to share some of my views on the subject.
1. New recruits joining the businesses are not productive for considerable time, till they are put through a training program. Surprisingly, they lack some of the very basic people-skills, which we take for granted in an evolved business environment.
2. Companies have to spend considerable resources (time, money, effort) on these training capsules. They would prefer somewhat evolved personalities to join!!
3. Colleges, Universities etc are not really doing a good job of grooming 'employable', 'business-ready' graduates.
4. After the natural filtration process in an organization (say after 3-5 years of experience), when we are looking for potential leaders to manage teams, projects and manage 'change', we are again faced with similar dilemma : 'not much to choose from'!!
5. I believe we may not be able to do much about initial choice, but what we CAN do is to start the process of grooming rather early. HiPos should be quickly identified and put on a 'structured', 'long term' and 'focused', training/ grooming program. Seeking outside help in this task is gaining popularity among leading business organizations, specially among US, Europe and SEA based MNCs. Indian Business houses are lagging behind and are showing reluctance in spending money on it. I feel, they are being 'Penny wise and Pound foolish'.
May I request our HR Leaders here on CiteHR to freely articulate their views on this and help bring about some positive change in this regard!
Warm Regards,
