Dear All,
This is to inform you about the new offline HR group that we have recently formed. It has originated from CITEHR on 4th April 2009. Please do look at the 2 page newsletter, especially the photograph of enthusiastic 90+ people who came together.
Genesis of Mumbai HR Meet:
-For past many years a need was felt and expressed by many HR professionals about a human connect, face to face offline forum/ platform that brings them together from various industries, levels and areas of work. There had been many spurts of efforts done in past to bring them together, but the efforts fizzled out after some time.
-Therefore a concrete decision was taken and initiated by Neeraj Agarwal to start an offline professional body on 4th April 09. Rohan then joined with his expertise in database & list management and communication. People were connected by direct means including email, SMS and phone calls. It was realized that posting on a site does not lead to concrete offline events. It needs human touch. An unprecedented response was received for the initial planning event on 4th April 2009. More than 340 people expressed interest in attending. Only 166 could be confirmed and finally 98 persons showed up on the venue. The venue was organized complimentarily by Dipali from Neelkanth group.
-Thus this professional body got generated. The initial set of people and participants came from CiteHR online networking and knowledge sharing site.
-Jalpa Joshi & Kenneth Lewis then joined core facilitating team with a commitment to evolve and sustain this creative setup.
Vision:
-To have HR influence business leadership and create an ambience of growth and expression in their organizations.
Core objectives:
-To bring HR professionals together & make available to them a framework & platform for self expression, learning & growth for themselves & their organizations
-It would be like a second home where they can be themselves, they can share their issues, predicaments and get meaningful assistance
-It would conduct workshops, programs and event that will address most pertinent requirements of the members
-Create & build enriching, mutually benefitting relationships among various members
-Have events that are 100% engaging, participative, full of life, fun & learning
-Its events would be focused on transformational HR. This means helping HR professionals in evolving & building their departments and image as HR that transforms the organization to its next level. Thus the focus would be on areas such as organization development, culture change, employee engagement etc.
-This setup would be self sustaining and would sustain tests of time.
