Hello Professional HR & Business Veterans, please find attached a very interesting article in ET on Perception Mismatch & Gap Between CEO & HR Head on HR Initiatives.
Dear Mr. Dilip, the article you have shared reflects the reality of many companies. HR professionals are often unable to implement very good initiatives that could solve many problems such as attrition, employee engagement, and employee productivity due to the gaps mentioned in the article. These days, everything is measured in terms of money and profit.
I am a student, so I may not have much experience with it. What the article says is the reality of many companies, but I think this happens because the type of development the article is conveying only occurs when the CEO or the HR person themselves are unable to balance the skill development factor and the profit-making factor.
I believe the balance of both the intention of overall development and generating profit should be handled very cleverly. Unless a person's life or the lives of people working in the organization are balanced internally and externally, total satisfaction is a long way off.
The article is really nice; I'll try to put it up in college. Thanks for sharing.
It is a very common problem in today's time in various organizations. It is very difficult to convince the higher authority to take some mutually agreed HR initiatives unless the HR Head has shown positive and favorable outcomes, such as reduced attrition rates and suitable recruitments and selections in their previous performance record with the company. Therefore, it's tough for the HR Head to align with the higher authority until they have proven themselves to be listened to or convincing.
Though this is true, I fail to understand: isn't training a short-term gain too? If the right talent is groomed, on which we have already invested (recruitment cost + salary to date), then they will perform better. I also believe that now HR professionals need to be good in marketing as well. If the cause is right, and there is a belief, then I am sure that the concept can be sold. Yes, no doubt that the decision-maker is never the HR.
