There is a paradigm shift from the old practices that are fast becoming redundant. Newer and more convenient procedures that aid an organization\u2019s goals are displacing some old HR concepts<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The trend of daily meetings has reduced as employees tend to be stuck in longer meetings leading to non-productivity. New concepts like e-learning and online communication facilitates flexibility and is a refreshing approach to exchange ideas and even training, compared to face-to-face modules. McDonald\u2019s was the first QSR in the industry to take e-learning to the work floor.<\/p>\n
Archaic practices have given way to new techniques that have helped organizations align their business goals with HR practices. HR professionals must never allow processes to become the culture of an organization. They must always strive to create an environment that is accepting and open to employee advice and opinion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
5. Intense focus on operations & processes<\/h6>\n
An HR professional must understand that processes are supposed to help organizations grow and improve efficacy for new hires and existing employees among other things. These processes must not be a hurdle to an employee\u2019s growth but must be an enabler.<\/p>\n
Today, employees think beyond monetary compensation and the HR needs to be mindful of the fact that an employee performs better if the work environment encourages a healthy work-life balance. It is important to have an understanding of work pressures and requirements in the organization and design competent training programs to optimise talent and make work enjoyable. Technology goes a long way in ensuring that processes are smooth and hassle free.
\nAt McDonald\u2019s, we have introduced GATE, a software that standardizes the talent life-cycle management, assessment, performance reviews, succession plans and mobility management. Recently, we also introduced ADEPT-15, a personality assessment tool that helps us analyse an employee\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. To make it more employee friendly, the system is available in local languages so that no information is lost in translation.<\/p>\n
The way forward<\/h6>\n
Archaic practices have given way to new techniques that have helped organizations align their business goals with HR practices. HR professionals must never allow processes to become the culture of an organization. They must always strive to create an environment that is accepting and open to employee advice and opinion. It is critical for talent leaders in organisations to keep pace with employee expectations and needs, creating a workforce that exudes productivity and performance. And an environment that not only facilitates learning but also makes work fun, flexible and creates sustainable futures for both the employees and the organisation.<\/p>\n
Over the past years, HR had a mandate of maintaining firm control over the workforce; provide low-cost, convenient administrative HR services; and promote fairness through equal treatment of employees. In the future, the mandate will be to understand and serve employees with highly appropriate offerings that improve their commitment, enthusiasm, preservation and performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
