Removing the changeblocks together

Change in simple words is becoming different, but it is easier said than done. Often people resist change because it necessitates movement from a current comfort level to a state of uncertainty and insecurity. The reason is, transformation happens not just for a process, system or practice but it calls for a behavioural change involving values, attitude, identity and belief. However, change is a positive scenario that enables growth, adaptability and competitiveness. In fact, change in an organisation helps to bring in new perspectives. It is a process that involves unfreezing, moving, and refreezing of values, practices, and procedures within the organisation.

With the system and process that facilitate the business change it becomes imperative to handle the softer issue of the people, since change is not self-initiated. Handling resistance, perceptions of change and mobilising the change within the employees create confusion. It is the time factor that enables organisations to work through change.

To meet the challenges of change and win over time, it is vital for organisations to effectively position the change against time. Establishing and reinforcing the vision, removing barriers and tightening the sense of oneness and belongingness expedite a positive change.Read more..

Organisation’s Compass

Prior to joining Ricardo, Mr. Dave Shemmans was operations director and co-founder of Wavedriver Ltd., a subsidiary of PowerGen plc. Dave, a Harvard graduate, is a member of the steering group for the UK government-sponsored New Automotive Innovation Growth Team. 

Q. How can HR sync its productivity with business needs?
Dave: Ricardo is a global business that is knowledge-driven and people-led. It is essential we focus on attracting and retaining the best talent. The HR function is thus mission-critical to us in developing and retaining the talent and accumulated knowledge on which our business thrives and on which its future depends.

Q. Can HR influence overall strategy and results of a firm?
Dave: HR is central to development and implementation of the corporate strategy. This is reflected in our “Right Team and Right Culture” strategic theme. We aim to seek out the best available talent externally through our internal talent management and development programme.

Q. Has HR successfully prioritised profit and loss over technical and political correctness?
Dave: The way this is often represented is a false dichotomy. In all regions that we operate in, there are societal norms and expectations, and national employment regulations that will apply to all market players. A well-run business respects its customers for their business, its investors for their capital, and its staff for their contributions. Read more...

IIPM : The B-School with a Human Face

William Greenhalgh (CEO, Human Resources Professionals Association) suggests HR executives to be more assertive in having their voice heard around the table as their issues get sidetracked in the heat of the battle

Q. How can the CEO and HR find a common ground?
A. HR must be the trusted advisor to the CEO and ensure flawless HR processes. The CEO has to know that HR has the interest of the company at heart, will be honest and fearless to suggest what is best in the company’s interest.

Q. How should HR manage the change programme during crisis?
A. CEOs want HR with a toolbox of change management practices, a consulting mindset, and a strong understanding of how compensation and performance management can be used to support change. The HR also needs to be a translator and interpreter of the CEO’s communications.

Q. How can they jointly create a healthy corporate culture?
A. Success or failure in any company depends on the quality, commitment and drive of its employees. Most CEOs understand that but often neglect it. It is important that they schedule regular reviews of the people performance, succession planning, and the future talent management plans based on the direction of the company. The company will also reflect the values of the CEO so it is important that he or she behaves in a way consistent with the culture. Click here to read full interview...
