fficacious HR planning gives the thumbs up to the
Emanagement for recruiting, deploying and recruiting the
right talent at the right time to run internal as well as external
service level responsibilities. It also allow them evaluate
performance appraisals; motivate employees, workplace
communication and safety, and many more. Organizations are
continuously striving for the strategies to grapple with inadequate
skill. At the same time HR tools are allowing management to plan to
hire and enhance right level of skills and competencies in the
organizational inventory with the sections like learning, training and
development to achieve target goals and objectives.
With HRM professionals can minimize the company’s costs
associated with attrition, turnover, and hiring employees, a most
important asset to the company. For that, they determine the most
effective methods for including assessing, recruiting applicants, even
which applicant tracking systems are best fitted for the organization's
needs.
Hiring Predictions for 2016 are optimistic, and employers aiming to
gain head count will be tasked with distinguishing themselves from
the race to win talent.
Experts forecast many of the recruiting trends widespread last year
such as Branding, Rebuilding the candidate experience, maximizing
talent analytics and holding untapped sources of hire will continue to
resonate in 2016.
Most of the companies are simply reviewing fundamental
operational measurements like cost-per-hire, time-to-fill, and source-
of-hire, and further they are instead hiring full-time analysts to mine
for more in-depth talent metrics. However, some companies are
using data to analyze competitor talent pools to seek candidates with
the right skills and right potent to connect with the organization.
Strategic planning avoids the situation of customer dissatisfaction
due to right competence shortages. Also, this minimizes the staff
surplus layout that usually give rise to knee jerk reaction to lay off
unwanted skills, which is an expensive exercise and impacts
negatively on staffs' self-esteem.
Any organization, whether a small or big is bound to suffer from
serious problems without a proper setup for HRM, while managing
its day-to-day activities. Here is need of companies today, must put a
lot of zeal and endeavour into setting up a strong and effective
HRM.

Stumbling Blocks
Before Management
Consulting Firms
For the past few years, the performance of the IT
Consulting Industry in the challenging economic
climate is excellent. The performance of IT
consulting industry in the major markets, for example,
Financial Services and Insurance Providers, is the reason of
its expansion. The consultants industry is expected to grow
in the coming days with the changing economy and
improving business sentiment. Also, the demand of IT
consultants in various industries is expected to grow in the
coming days.
Though there are various high-profile global corporations,
still no single consultants can rule the market. In reality, the
consultants industry include, network infrastructure
companies, like, IT outsourcing companies, traditional large
consulting firms, global computer equipment companies, and
a wide range of other companies that do not necessarily
compete directly with one another, but offering one or the
other service related to information technology.
The management consulting industry has a very good
knowledge of the challenges they have to face today and
even the days before. The management consulting industry is
witnessing the changes coming with the time being. There
are three main features transforming the marketplace;
disruptive technology, the rise of new business models, and
the growing pressures of intense global competition.
Here are some of the market trends the management
consulting industry is witnessing, which is the result of the
challenges faced by the IT consulting firms with the planning
to address the difficulties, identifying marketing techniques
and implementation strategies.
All this clears the picture of the whole management
consulting industry. Here are the business challenges
management consulting firms have to face, which will give a
clear view to the priorities management consulting firms
have to observe.
Cardinal Business Challenges Before Management
Consulting Firms
Here are the Cardinal Business Challenges the Management
Consulting Firms have to face which clears the industry
scenario.
Roping in New Clients
This concern is on the top most position of the list at 81%,
which is a key point. Because, while new business is the
overriding priority of every industry, it tops the list by a
significantly higher percentage for management consulting
firms. Just to make a comparison, 72% of all professional
services firms note generating new business as their number
one challenge.
The urgency of a new business in the world of management
consulting is observed by over three times more respondents
than the second-highest challenge. This is a delineate
concern for the firms of all sizes, and this struggle for new
clients is going to shape the future of many upcoming firms.
Hard-won Task of Dealing with the Competitive
Marketplace
The traces of competitive pressure are clearly seen in the
second business challenge, and that is the hard-won task of
dealing with the competitive marketplace.
A management consultant is an active, progressive global
marketplace. With multiple international players exacerbate
their efforts, the competition is heating up. The current
condition of the economy, which is sluggish is prevailing in
Editor’s Pick
AUGUST 2016 |06
some markets, becoming the reason for many firms to look
forward to the others for opportunity.
Herculean Task of Finding and Keeping Good People
With the massively competitive marketplace comes a
massive competitive talent environment. This makes the
process of finding and retaining the best people difficult,
making it a top agenda for the management consulting firms.
From the angle of setting marketing priorities, this is
peculiarly notable. This can mean prioritizing the
consideration of a specific audience, potential recruits.
Unfortunately, searching for the best talent in the industry is
always a big challenge.
New Inventions
While focusing on induce new business, this is one more
differentiating feature for the management consulting
industry. To face this challenge, management consulting
firms will have to search out new ways to not only spawn
those new ideas but share them adequately with their
audiences, including both prospective clients and industry
influencers.
While competing in this highly competitive marketplace,
firms can’t simply build a reputation on the claim or idea of
innovation. Firms have to exhibit their expertise, thought
processes, and results, and then only they can be come out as
a winner.
The Panning Issues
The current scenario shows that management consulting
firms have to face lots of diverse challenges. The need of
developing new clients, finding and keeping quality people,
and continuously keep on innovating, are some of the
challenges which are the key concern of today’s management
consulting firms.
With the perspective, to compete with these many different
pressures, management consulting firms will have to identify
sophisticated and efficient strategic approaches. Additionally,
these firms will have to keep on finding ways to use time and
resources more adequately as they work to confront new
competitors and find new clients, in the heating competition.
The changing time keeps on creating new challenges, which
the management consulting firms have to handle by their
own. To be in the competition, while being on the forefront
of the competition, the management consulting firms have to
instrument variety of latest marketing techniques.

TToday, businesses are more global than ever before and not restricted to local boundaries. A number of multinational
corporations are creating partnership, influencing every new requirement of Human Resource Management. It is
becoming a challenge for those in the field of HR to find right talent in terms of skills, knowledge and cultural fitment in
handling global assignments. To fulfill these requirements, organizations have to up-skill individuals to meet globalization
challenges.
For any company, a human resources department is very crucial. It acts as a support function to provide skilled and talented
labour to management training services, employee enrichment opportunities and many more. As workforce is one of the
largest expenses for most companies, HR helps organizations derive greatest value from this vital asset.

The Kingpins of hSenid

Strategies Implemented to Stay Competent
India is home to some of the fastest growing companies in
the world. With strong initiatives being taken by honorable
PM on ‘Make in India’, ‘Skill India’ there is a huge
emphasis on HR best practices within a company, whether
it’s big or small. India is a diverse market spread far and
We strive to achieve our vision
‘Make life easy by using ICT’,
by being dynamic and benchmarking
ourselves against the best in the world
Cover StoryCover Story
‘‘ ‘‘
wide, and there isn’t a single
state or city where companies
are clustered. Keeping all of
this in mind, hSenid’s big
differentiationis:
Scale with partners:
hSenid is building a very
strong partner network and
within a short span of 18
months they are armed with
12 trained partners. This
helps them reach clients
across all the segments.
Compared to their
competitors offering similar
solution, despite years of
presence they have not been
able to achieve this goal.
Many of their competitive
partners are showing
interest in partnering with
hSenid and taking their
solution to the market.
Invest in building an
awesome product: There is
no single HRIS provider in
India who offers an end to
end solution with Indian
localisation. Majority of the
products available are strong in one particular area such as
recruitment, performance or leaning and development.
Similarly local players and many new entrants lack depth
and breadth of functionality. With 19 years of legacy they
offer the most comprehensive HRIS with the ability of
localisation. In a nutshell, a truly global product with local
flavor.
Invest in people: They believe that people are their biggest
asset; with Pradeep's and Anuj’s background from Google
and Microsoft respectively, they strongly believe that it is
the people who help them to achieve big goals. They
believe in hiring the best and then offering them the best
benefits. They are attracting talent from all across and their
employees are happy with the opportunity and exposure
they receive.
Social HR: A big
differentiation for
hSenid is their ESN
tool, Jurra, they are
probably the first HRIS
company to bring out a
socially integrated
solution into the market.
The product is light,
simple to deploy and
extremely easy to use.
hSenid’s 4 Key Values
of Enduring Success
1. Acquiring their first
few clients: This is one
of the most difficult
tasks as it is always a
leap of faith with
startups like hSenid.
With their experience,
network and an
awesome product they
were able to get their
first few clients to sign
up and today, within a
short time span of 18
months they acquire
almost 2 enterprise
logos every three weeks.
For a startup operation,
this is a rather significant achievement and the difference is
an enterprise logo not just a logo.
2. Giving confidence to their partners: hSenid’s strategy
has always been “scale with partners”, therefore it's super
important for the clients to feel confident of their
association with hSenid. Any relationship would go through
its ups and downs and this is the time when hSenid has held
up their end by securing their valuable connection. They
had their share of differences but every partner who signed
up with hSenid is committed to the success of their
business.
3. Hiring the right talent: Attracting the right people to
work with them is the single biggest challenge they faced.
However, with a combination of right benefits, long term
vision and successful career they have been able to

overcomethischallenge.
4. Staying the course: With every new client they have a
new requirement, one can easily lose their way by over
customising and over committing. However, this is still a
big challenge with Indian clients. hSenid made some initial
mistakes, but now they have a robust product and their sales
team understands what they can deliver. Their newest India
release would be out by 31st August and they call this
Wave 1. The company is so excited with the release of the
product and confidently stated that this would change the
market perception on HRIS.
What clients are getting from hSenid Software?
Both HR Management and Employees save time, cost and
improve their productivity. This contributes towards
strategic objectives of reducing administrative program
cost. Administrative HR processes get fully automated and
operate as required, the HR Management has time to
venture into strategic HR areas and take the workforce to
further heights. hSenid’s clients can concentrate on
employee performance management, perform training and
development and look at HR metrics. The Performance
module of PeoplesHR is used to carry out, performance
appraisals using tools such as 360° appraisals as well as
balanced scorecard methods. This is now being used to
assist with training and development of employees at their
client companies. With HR Analytics and Metrics, the
management is now able to generate reports which give a
much needed insight to assist in HR planning. Reports such
as demographic employee profiles and analysis are now
being generated for the use of the management. The
management generates standard reports monthly; some
reports are even generated on-demand. Finally, HR
technology has professionally enabled cultural
transformation. The management level of a company is now
streamlined by the use of technology. Both employees and
HR management can now spend less time on administrative
activities and concentrate more on work and transform lives
every day.
Focus on India Localisation
One of the fastest growing HRIS companies in India,
hSenid has achieved this feat in just 18 months. They strive
to be ranked as the no 1 HRIS solutions in India by the year
2018-19 and the way they are moving they can easily get
there. They are super excited about their new release and
with India localisation, and they would be the only
company providing an end to end comprehensive HRIS
solution. They are acquiring clients and the best part is that
their ecosystem is growing very fast. More and more
partners are getting connected. Microsoft and SAP B1
partner ecosystem is keen on tying up with hSenid as there
is one big gap they see in their HRIS offered from their
parent.
Success mantra for aspiring entrepreneurs
hSenid’s success mantra for aspiring entrepreneurs in the
current industry is “ First, Have clear goals. Second, focus
on client, never over commit and believe in under
commitment and over delivery. Third, for right expansion,
Hire to scale. Fourth, invest in listening to the clients and
incorporate whenever you can. Fifth, Set right
expectations with stake holders and finally, keep your
employees engaged”.

Japan is struggling to expand its scientific opportunities.

transmit 1.8 kilowatts of energy through the air to a receiver
170 feet away. There are no wires, no cables, no pipelines,
no trains, no trucks, no nothing. Just Energy. Through the
air. Granted, it is not a lot of energy –1.8 kW is about
sufficient to run an electric kettle, according to the reports.
“This was the first time someone has managed to send a
high output of nearly 2 kilowatts of electric power through
microwaves to a small target, with the use of a delicate
directivity control device,” as per JAXA researches. Today,
they can get into what this wireless energy transmitted is
for- JAXA has been investing on a system that would use
solar-powered satellites to transmit energy directly to the
Earth.
This Space Solar Power System would define that solar
power would be available anywhere on the earth, at any
time of day, regardless of whether or there is no sunlight on
the planet. JAXA’s ideal goal is to set up solar panels and
antennae nearby 22,300 miles from the Earth, which could
take various decades to practically realize. JAXA has
evaluated that the system would probably not be ready until
2040 and they even haven't find out how to achieve the
large structure they need into space, or how to develop it, or
how to maintain it.
Hats off to all those Scientists! Just imagine the power of
this innovation. When a great theoretical physicist and
mathematician Freeman Dyson look through the science
fiction novel Star Maker, he was truly inspired to propose
what has become called as the Dyson Sphere, which is a
wide range of solar panels that enclose the sun and beam
energy back to the Earth. Considering JAXA continues to
improve this technology, and assuming it looks a major
investment from the right parties, at the end of this modern
era we could have access to a renewable, sustainable source
of energy.

Creating a Positive Culture
for
Better Work Place
to know how you would like each and everyone in your
company. The greater involvement of people in the business
has led to more significant contributions by employees,
which results into more appreciation from customers. So if
you are alone with nothing but technology, your business is
built across the people producing products and providing
services for others.
It has been always noticed that the long period of peace and
prosperity comes in those companies equipped with the
right personnel, where the best people do their best.
Employees like to work hard when they get greatly
encouraged by their leaders.
Corporate culture reflects what your organization believes
and supports like how you interact and work. One bad
attitude is sufficient to affect the entire team’s performance.
Jazmin Truesdale, CEO, Mino Enterprises stated earlier,
“The kind of people you hire will be the ones to contribute
Most of the organizations possess exuberant
employees, and with a collaborative work, they
showed willingness to their work. Is that an
organization’s fate? Or the environment itself created by the
company?
What is the core value of successful business? Obviously
your ingenious team. So, it is mandatory to create a culture
that recognizes and embraces shared values, standards,
attitudes, and beliefs that characterize the objectives of the
organization. For that, you need to ensure that it meets the
requirement of the organization with the best people who
work with the company at the same time creating a positive
impression on your clients or anyone who is associated with
the business.
Most of the Founders or C-level executives see “business
first, people second”. But, for creating a positive culture
you have to possess a clear and consistent vision and need
Highlights
AUGUST 2016 |24
the most important thing to be considered for creating a
positive culture within an organization. The process or
technique to find and select the right people who have a lot
to do with. How will you develop and maintain your
company culture? Yes, a proper screening and evaluation
must be there. The high cost of turnover makes it especially
important, when hiring, the right talent put on the payroll.
Interviews sould be done only by skilled interviewers who
has the ability to assess a recruit's sincerity. He/She should
be able to relate to others. He/She also has to listen, assume
and/or assign responsibility. He/She should possess
enthusiasm and commitment to the job. In labor-scarce
cases, applications should be simplified and employment
decisions finalized during that interview.
2.Orientation
Orientation can be the most critical factor once the decision
is made to take someone on board. The thing is to ensure
that the first day is a great day. Usually, it has been
observed that people are more open to understanding and
adapting to a new culture during the first day at the job.
Introduction to other key players and exposure to existing
policies and procedures (which may be described in an
employee reference manual) is essential during the early
to your work environment. So make sure you’re hiring
people who are professional, can work in a team and can
contribute to a positive work environment, because one bad
apple can spoil the bunch.”
There are a few key elements to create a positive corporate
culture.
1.Recruitment
It begins with an effective process like recruitment which is
AUGUST 2016 |25
stages along with periodic feedback.
3.Training
Everyone should get enough time, sufficient energy and
support for the newly entered employee. All training
programs should be motivational and informative for
setting a classroom or on the job. They must offer English
language courses to native speaking employees, as per the
audience. Such courses will boost morale and help the new
talents assimilate while increasing their productivity and
effectiveness.
4.Communication:
Communication should be clear, consistent and constant
which may term a hallmark of operations in any culture.
For an effective two-way process, communication requires
follow-up and feedback. Everyone should have an authority
to communicate, ask questions and seek elucidation of
issues to avoid misunderstandings. In a positive
environment culture, everyone at the company enjoys a
sense of belonging and involvement.
The ability to hand over the responsibility is again another
form of communication, easy way of informing and
involving others in an operation. In today's sophisticated
environment, being able to give responsibility may be a
major factor in meeting customer expectations and
deadlines.
Also, an open door policy with ongoing and frequent
meetings, that include members of management and a
sampling of employees, review of the primary goals,
problems and various opportunities, and ensuring these are
communicated to the rest of the staff.
5.Recognition And Reward:
Recognition of both positive and negative behaviors, and
achievement against goals, should be explained as major
factors while establishing a positive culture. Everyone in
the company should have a set of goals and objectives. In a
positive culture, encouragement, appreciation, and
recognition should be steadily described by the company
lead runners. Incentive programs, such as cash bonuses, a
trip, or other award functions for encouragement, for
meeting and/or exceeding objectives and goals, are also
recommended.
Negative behavior has to be addressed. Individuals who do
not choose, or are unable to embody the positive aspects
and goals set by the company, may be terminated. Often,
such individuals decide on their own to seek employment
elsewhere.
Once established, high standards, become the accepted
norm in a positive culture, fostering teamwork and
camaraderie.

The need
India is the world’s second most populous country in the
world, and the fifth largest economy in terms of GDP when
adjusting for international price differences. However, its
per capita income in 2011 is only $3,600, placing India 129
out of around 184 countries. Despite this, India’s economy
grew at a pace of 7.45% between 2000 to 2011, making it
the world’s second-fastest growing major economy,
according to, “Indian Social Enterprise Landscape Survey
2010”.
The increasing urgent need to tackle social issues in
more effective ways. At present, India’s rapidly growing
economy has not managed to alleviate the extreme poverty
of nearly half the country’s population that lives below the
$1.25 per day poverty line. There are several reasons for
this, including non-uniform infrastructure, low quality
public good provision by the government (especially in
health and education), and resource limitations. Successive
governments have dealt with the complex problems at the
root of tackling and alleviating the social challenges.
Despite several initiatives, social inequalities remain even
as we begin 2016 and we are very far from resolving some
of our urgent social challenges like homelessness,
malnutrition, illiteracy, substance abuse, gender-based
violence, etc. The social sector has admirably addressed
many of these burning issues but they have also been
woefully underfunded, despite the CSR Bill and increasing
Philanthropic donations. It is imperative that we look at
addressing the social challenges in an innovative manner.
In the traditional bifurcated system, social needs are
primarily met through grants, CSR funds, non-repayable
contributions, while capital markets are focussed on
financial returns and economic growth. In addition, while
the industry deals remarkably with economic consequences
but more often than not, it largely doesn’t take into account
social consequences in its primary business models. In
recent times, however, a new sector that is bridging private,
Evolving from CSR (Corporate
Social Responsibility) to CSV
(Creating Shared Value)
public and social sector is emerging.
Emergence of a new converging economy
A rising wave of social entrepreneurship is seeking to make
meaningful difference to people’s lives. India’s vibrant
social enterprise space is young in terms of years of
operation, and nascent in terms of revenue size per
enterprise. According to the Beyond Profit 2010 survey,
about 68% of SEs have been in existence for five years or
less.
The social enterprises have several innovative business
models. Enterprises could have a for-profit business models
like Udhyogini; include collective ownership structures
such as cooperatives and producer companies, like Waste
Ventures, which “incubates solid waste management
companies owned and operated by waste pickers”, not-for-
profit structures, which make up a fifth of all social
enterprises, such as Aravind Eye Care Hospitals, or have a
business model that can be categorized as hybrid, wherein
two or more entities, while not legally bound, work in close
synergy with each other, usually because they are both
founded by the same individual or individuals, like
LifeSpring Hospitals.
By definition, a social enterprise is a means to achieve
sustainability through earned income. However, it is
important to note the financial objectives differ among
organisation. Social enterprises do not need to be profitable
to be worthwhile. They can improve efficiency and
effectiveness of an organisation by:
- reducing the need for donated funds
- providing a more reliable diversified funding base; or
- enhancing the quality of programmes by increasing
market discipline
Globally, there are multiple experiments in this space
linking CSR, entrepreneurship and livelihood, including
helping existing/traditional community businesses as CSR

This trend is gaining ground in India as well. Mahindra
Finance and Marico have partnered with social venture fund
Villgro to finance startups by using their corporate social
responsibility (CSR) budget. The new Companies Act
amendment allows such funding though incubators as CSR
contributions, according to economictimes.
Companies can create shared value opportunities in three
ways:
• Reconceiving products and markets - Companies can
meet social needs while better serving existing markets,
accessing new ones, or lowering costs through innovation
• Redefining productivity in the value chain -
Companies can improve the quality, quantity, cost, and
reliability of inputs and distribution while they
simultaneously act as a steward for essential natural
resources and drive economic and social development
• Enabling local cluster development - Companies do
not operate in isolation from their surroundings. To compete
and thrive, they rely on an ecosystem of players, all
collaborating to create enhanced value and improved
sustainability.
Our future ability to meet growing needs in education,
healthcare, energy, climate change, and the inclusion of
vulnerable populations such as seniors, people with
disabilities, requires an integrated approach to link and
unlock economic and social value.

Corporation- ONGC- trying to promote local craft);
using/leveraging social innovations/businesses as an
extension of the company’s business strategy with tighter
alignment (e.g. U.S. company Patagonia using recycled
denim for their textile products); and linking social
innovation with entrepreneurship, while keeping and
treating them distinct from core businesses (e.g. Tata Steel /
Usha Martin’s effort to empower local communities through
entrepreneurship). Many companies in India are looking to
this model for bringing about sustainability to their
programmes.
The concept of shared value could lead to large scale
social Innovation
The concept of shared value seeks to promote inclusive
growth as a key agenda in India’s economic growth story.
Corporations are finding new ways to accelerate growth and
increase competitive advantage through innovative business
models that meet societal needs and help create impact at
scale. A well-known shared value example is that of Nestle,
that decided to train and assist cocoa smallholder farmers to
foster rural development while ensuring a reliable supply of
high quality raw materials. This rural development strategy
has had a direct impact in furthering the company’s
business goals while at the same time ensuring
sustainability of critical stakeholders in the supply chain.
Small-scale initiatives of this nature could also be
important test-beds for large-scale sustainable solutions.
Strategically implementing and networking among small
scale initiatives can create an environment that supports
large-scale change by connecting relevant stakeholders and
groups, such as from the policy or business domain. Many
new emerging businesses like solar energy storage and
distribution, waste management, etc. were
considered as small scale social
innovations just a few years ago. But
they are considered the sunrise
industries of today. The impact
investment market is currently worth
around $50 billion (£30 billion)
globally, but it is estimated to be
worth $1 trillion (£600 billion) in the
next five years. This is because the
lines between investment portfolios
and philanthropic objectives are
becoming blurred and impact
investing could soon be part
of everyone’s asset
allocation, according to blue
and green tomorrow.

The Tale of Foundation
Sonali Chowdhry, Founder and
Director of Marketing of Netcomm
Labs, is equipped with 15 years of
entrepreneurial zeal and experience
gathered during her tenure at NIIT R &
D. Armed with a degree in Business
Administration, Sonali knew that it
was the right timing to make a foray
into the arena of Web Technology.
The company has started initially as a
Web Design firm, which diversified
into the area of Enterprise Web
Applications, Ecommerce & Mobile
Apps which are the new market
demands today.
“Officenet Intranet is our flagship HR
product which has been deployed in
100+ enterprises in the 5-6 years.
Indigenously built with a rich HR
experience gathered over time from
customers and a complete ‘Hire’ to
‘Retire’ feature-list of modules,
available both on cloud & on premise”,
says Sonali.
The Tac-Tics Followed to Lead
The team of Netcomm Labs knows
very well that, employees would like to
engage with any HR tool only when it
is sticky enough for them to come back
daily. It should also be vibrant & well
represented in the UI, layout and
content.
With companies today talking about
Social Intranets, Netcomm Labs have
built the features like Idea box which
has elements like Facebook to
comment, like, share stories & articles.
HR can run online surveys, opinion
polls and get to see the popularity of
content being posted by them.
Also, features like Knowledge Base
add value as information which is
repeatedly required gets archived
within the folders. Users can create
groups and assign rights of usage to
different set of employees making it a
role based repository with access and
version control. Imagine being able to
retrieve all the Company Newsletters
or specific SOP’s at a click of a button!
Officenet deployment takes almost 6-8
weeks, which includes the
customization & changes as per a
specific enterprise requirements. This
is the strongest USP along with the HR
domain expertise which Officenet
brings with the constant enhancement
and enrichment of the feature-list.
Netcomm Labs believes Good
Customer references have played a
significant role in the increasing
deployments on the PAN India basis.
Persevering to Meet up the Rising
Expectations
An agile development process that
interacts with the customer at every
stage has been helpful towards
building the right HR solution for the
domestic market. A modular product
delivery, which is scalable has helped
the company to offer a competitive
pricing.
Growing economies will always
pressurize companies to retain and
recruit the best talent. HR tools like
Officenet will help in making the first
impact by showing a progressive work
culture to a new joinee and also adding
transparency to the entire process of
HRD. Be it appraisals, trainings,
reimbursements, whistle blower
policies or publishing the company
blog.
Netcomm Labs knows very well that,
as long as HR functionaries continue
their belief to harness technology to
look after their most important asset till
then the HR technology will need to
continue to persevere to meet up to the
rising expectations.

It seems that in this day and age,
the word ‘sale” has become more
of a four-letter word rather than
what the true phrase it was intended to
be. The sales industry is undergoing
enormous change. The evolution of the
Internet as well as innovations in
multi-media and technology have
altered the buying journey, forcing
sales organizations and salespeople to
change how they pursue and win
business.
Words like ‘the back and forth’ and
‘the bottom line’ are thrown around all
day without any clear definition. It
shreds the fabric of trust and
believability, with no one going
anywhere. NextGen Sales Services is
proud, as a corporation, to separate
themselves from the contrite and strive
to build as a brand of service first and a
one stop sales solution destination.
Sales Talent Search
NextGen knows that the company’s
revenue and expansion is dependent on
the sales. NextGen Sales Solution is

potentials, covers more than 50 sales
skill and it is very easy to interpret.
Good training is the key ingredient for
any company to have a powerful team
that is able to produce, deliver and
excel. However, companies often need
to focus mainly on their core business,
instead of having a costly in-house
permanent training department. That’s
where Trainers Galore plays its role,
they have the best selection of talented
trainers that can offer all the benefits of
having own dedicated trainers, without
having the usual costs and hassles of
having your own training department
and staff.

What is gender sensitivity? Is it the same as
gender equality? Are workplaces in today’s
India gender sensitive? Is sexual harassment of
women in the workplace on the rise? These are some of the
burning questions and issues at hand in today’s work
environment. Multiple companies across all industry sectors
are beginning to take note of these issues and address them.
While this proactive approach is seen in some
organisations, many others have been slow to recognize the
need while the rest have completely ignored it.
Gender sensitivity essentially refers to making women’s as
well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral
dimension of all policies and programs in an organization
so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not
perpetuated. Gender issues are sensitive and complicated
and affect both women and men regardless of status. The
ability of an organization to identify and handle
gender inequality and gender discrimination
underpins its success in creating a
gender sensitive and
inclusive work culture.
Ultimately, the goal is to
achieve gender equality.
What about sexual
harassment? Sexual
harassment at the
workplace has
seen a steady
rise in India.
Though this
has
undoubtedly
been the case
for a while
now, it is
being
Gender Sensitivity and
Sexual Harassment of
Women at the Workplace
reported more openly and bravely as opposed to a few years
ago. This radical shift can primarily be attributed to the
enactment of the recent law in India - Sexual Harassment of
Women at the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition &
Redressal) Act, 2013. From a global standpoint, most
countries have adopted some form of legislation at the
national level that covers the issue of sexual harassment but
a growing number of countries like India have adopted a
specific legislation for the same. The International Labour
Organization (ILO) also has standards and guidelines on
prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace. So what
exactly is Sexual Harassment? Sexual harassment is a
manifestation of gender discrimination and is defined by the
law as:
• Unwelcome acts or behavior (whether directly or by
implication) such as physical contact or advances,
• Requests for sexual favours and
• Any other verbal or physical conduct that is of a sexual
nature.
The law mandates that every company that has 10 or
employees is required to formulate a
Prevention of Sexual Harassment
policy in accordance with
the Act, constitute an

Organizations are continuously striving for the strategies to grapple with inadequate skill. At the same time HR tools are allowing management to plan to hire and enhance right level of skills and competencies in the organizational inventory with the sections like learning, training and development to achieve target goals and objectives.

For that, they determine the most effective methods for including assessing, recruiting applicants, even which applicant tracking systems are best fitted for the organization's needs. Hiring Predictions for 2016 are optimistic, and employers aiming to gain head count will be tasked with distinguishing themselves from the race to win talent. Experts forecast many of the recruiting trends widespread last year such as Branding, Rebuilding the candidate experience, maximizing talent analytics and holding untapped sources of hire will continue to resonate in 2016. Most of the companies are simply reviewing fundamental operational measurements like cost-per-hire, time-to-fill, and source- of-hire, and further they are instead hiring full-time analysts to mine for more in-depth talent metrics. However, some companies are using data to analyze competitor talent pools to seek candidates with the right skills and right potent to connect with the organization. Strategic planning avoids the situation of customer dissatisfaction due to right competence shortages. Also, this minimizes the staff surplus layout that usually give rise to knee jerk reaction to lay off unwanted skills, which is an expensive exercise and impacts negatively on staffs' self-esteem. Any organization, whether a small or big is bound to suffer from serious problems without a proper setup for HRM, while managing its day-to-day activities. Here is need of companies today, must put a lot of zeal and endeavour into setting up a strong and effective HRM. Strategic HR Planning for Innovative Services Editorial Sonal Burghate

Keeping all of this in mind, hSenid’s big differentiationis: Scale with partners: hSenid is building a very strong partner network and within a short span of 18 months they are armed with 12 trained partners. This helps them reach clients across all the segments. Compared to their competitors offering similar solution, despite years of presence they have not been able to achieve this goal. Many of their competitive partners are showing interest in partnering with hSenid and taking their solution to the market. Invest in building an awesome product: There is no single HRIS provider in India who offers an end to end solution with Indian localisation. Majority of the products available are strong in one particular area such as recruitment, performance or leaning and development. Similarly local players and many new entrants lack depth and breadth of functionality. With 19 years of legacy they offer the most comprehensive HRIS with the ability of localisation. In a nutshell, a truly global product with local flavor. Invest in people: They believe that people are their biggest asset; with Pradeep's and Anuj’s background from Google and Microsoft respectively, they strongly believe that it is the people who help them to achieve big goals. They believe in hiring the best and then offering them the best benefits. They are attracting talent from all across and their employees are happy with the opportunity and exposure they receive. Social HR: A big differentiation for hSenid is their ESN tool, Jurra, they are probably the first HRIS company to bring out a socially integrated solution into the market. The product is light, simple to deploy and extremely easy to use. hSenid’s 4 Key Values of Enduring Success 1. Acquiring their first few clients: This is one of the most difficult tasks as it is always a leap of faith with startups like hSenid. With their experience, network and an awesome product they were able to get their first few clients to sign up and today, within a short time span of 18 months they acquire almost 2 enterprise logos every three weeks. For a startup operation, this is a rather significant achievement and the difference is an enterprise logo not just a logo. 2. Giving confidence to their partners: hSenid’s strategy has always been “scale with partners”, therefore it's super important for the clients to feel confident of their association with hSenid. Any relationship would go through its ups and downs and this is the time when hSenid has held up their end by securing their valuable connection. They had their share of differences but every partner who signed up with hSenid is committed to the success of their business. 3. Hiring the right talent: Attracting the right people to work with them is the single biggest challenge they faced. However, with a combination of right benefits, long term vision and successful career they have been able to Pradeep Agarwal Chief Operating Officer Anuj Gupta Chief Strategic Officer Cover StoryCover Story
  • 14. overcomethischallenge. 4. Staying the course: With every new client they have a new requirement, one can easily lose their way by over customising and over committing. However, this is still a big challenge with Indian clients. hSenid made some initial mistakes, but now they have a robust product and their sales team understands what they can deliver. Their newest India release would be out by 31st August and they call this Wave 1. The company is so excited with the release of the product and confidently stated that this would change the market perception on HRIS. What clients are getting from hSenid Software? Both HR Management and Employees save time, cost and improve their productivity. This contributes towards strategic objectives of reducing administrative program cost. Administrative HR processes get fully automated and operate as required, the HR Management has time to venture into strategic HR areas and take the workforce to further heights. hSenid’s clients can concentrate on employee performance management, perform training and development and look at HR metrics. The Performance module of PeoplesHR is used to carry out, performance appraisals using tools such as 360° appraisals as well as balanced scorecard methods. This is now being used to assist with training and development of employees at their client companies. With HR Analytics and Metrics, the management is now able to generate reports which give a much needed insight to assist in HR planning. Reports such as demographic employee profiles and analysis are now being generated for the use of the management. The management generates standard reports monthly; some reports are even generated on-demand. Finally, HR technology has professionally enabled cultural transformation. The management level of a company is now streamlined by the use of technology. Both employees and HR management can now spend less time on administrative activities and concentrate more on work and transform lives every day. Focus on India Localisation One of the fastest growing HRIS companies in India, hSenid has achieved this feat in just 18 months. They strive to be ranked as the no 1 HRIS solutions in India by the year 2018-19 and the way they are moving they can easily get there. They are super excited about their new release and with India localisation, and they would be the only company providing an end to end comprehensive HRIS solution. They are acquiring clients and the best part is that their ecosystem is growing very fast. More and more partners are getting connected. Microsoft and SAP B1 partner ecosystem is keen on tying up with hSenid as there is one big gap they see in their HRIS offered from their parent. Success mantra for aspiring entrepreneurs hSenid’s success mantra for aspiring entrepreneurs in the current industry is “ First, Have clear goals. Second, focus on client, never over commit and believe in under commitment and over delivery. Third, for right expansion, Hire to scale. Fourth, invest in listening to the clients and incorporate whenever you can. Fifth, Set right expectations with stake holders and finally, keep your employees engaged”. Cover StoryCover Story

  • 20. Human-made satellites like the International Space Station, have long been able to utilize the solar energy that affects from the sun, getting that power back to Earth where people can use it. The Japanese breakthrough gives the hope that humans will one day be able to use an inexhaustible source of energy in space. ‘Breakthrough in wireless energy transmission’, What does this mean exactly? It’s that humanity which has now officially begun to realize one of the most aspiring thought th experiments of the 20 century - The Dyson Sphere. Japan is struggling to expand its scientific opportunities. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has contributed to this major scientific achievement. With the use of microwaves, JAXA’s researchers were able to transmit 1.8 kilowatts of energy through the air to a receiver 170 feet away. There are no wires, no cables, no pipelines, no trains, no trucks, no nothing. Just Energy. Through the air. Granted, it is not a lot of energy –1.8 kW is about sufficient to run an electric kettle, according to the reports. “This was the first time someone has managed to send a high output of nearly 2 kilowatts of electric power through microwaves to a small target, with the use of a delicate directivity control device,” as per JAXA researches. Today, they can get into what this wireless energy transmitted is for- JAXA has been investing on a system that would use solar-powered satellites to transmit energy directly to the Earth. This Space Solar Power System would define that solar power would be available anywhere on the earth, at any time of day, regardless of whether or there is no sunlight on the planet. JAXA’s ideal goal is to set up solar panels and antennae nearby 22,300 miles from the Earth, which could take various decades to practically realize. JAXA has evaluated that the system would probably not be ready until 2040 and they even haven't find out how to achieve the large structure they need into space, or how to develop it, or how to maintain it. Hats off to all those Scientists! Just imagine the power of this innovation. When a great theoretical physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson look through the science fiction novel Star Maker, he was truly inspired to propose what has become called as the Dyson Sphere, which is a wide range of solar panels that enclose the sun and beam energy back to the Earth. Considering JAXA continues to improve this technology, and assuming it looks a major investment from the right parties, at the end of this modern era we could have access to a renewable, sustainable source of energy.

  • 26. Creating a Positive Culture for Better Work Place to know how you would like each and everyone in your company. The greater involvement of people in the business has led to more significant contributions by employees, which results into more appreciation from customers. So if you are alone with nothing but technology, your business is built across the people producing products and providing services for others. It has been always noticed that the long period of peace and prosperity comes in those companies equipped with the right personnel, where the best people do their best. Employees like to work hard when they get greatly encouraged by their leaders. Corporate culture reflects what your organization believes and supports like how you interact and work. One bad attitude is sufficient to affect the entire team’s performance. Jazmin Truesdale, CEO, Mino Enterprises stated earlier, “The kind of people you hire will be the ones to contribute Most of the organizations possess exuberant employees, and with a collaborative work, they showed willingness to their work. Is that an organization’s fate? Or the environment itself created by the company? What is the core value of successful business? Obviously your ingenious team. So, it is mandatory to create a culture that recognizes and embraces shared values, standards, attitudes, and beliefs that characterize the objectives of the organization. For that, you need to ensure that it meets the requirement of the organization with the best people who work with the company at the same time creating a positive impression on your clients or anyone who is associated with the business. Most of the Founders or C-level executives see “business first, people second”.

How will you develop and maintain your company culture? Yes, a proper screening and evaluation must be there. The high cost of turnover makes it especially important, when hiring, the right talent put on the payroll. Interviews sould be done only by skilled interviewers who has the ability to assess a recruit's sincerity. He/She should be able to relate to others. He/She also has to listen, assume and/or assign responsibility. He/She should possess enthusiasm and commitment to the job. In labor-scarce cases, applications should be simplified and employment decisions finalized during that interview. 2.Orientation Orientation can be the most critical factor once the decision is made to take someone on board. The thing is to ensure that the first day is a great day. Usually, it has been observed that people are more open to understanding and adapting to a new culture during the first day at the job. Introduction to other key players and exposure to existing policies and procedures (which may be described in an employee reference manual) is essential during the early to your work environment. So make sure you’re hiring people who are professional, can work in a team and can contribute to a positive work environment, because one bad apple can spoil the bunch.” There are a few key elements to create a positive corporate culture. 1.Recruitment It begins with an effective process like recruitment which is AUGUST 2016 |25

All training programs should be motivational and informative for setting a classroom or on the job. They must offer English language courses to native speaking employees, as per the audience. Such courses will boost morale and help the new talents assimilate while increasing their productivity and effectiveness. 4.Communication: Communication should be clear, consistent and constant which may term a hallmark of operations in any culture. For an effective two-way process, communication requires follow-up and feedback. Everyone should have an authority to communicate, ask questions and seek elucidation of issues to avoid misunderstandings. In a positive environment culture, everyone at the company enjoys a sense of belonging and involvement. The ability to hand over the responsibility is again another form of communication, easy way of informing and involving others in an operation. In today's sophisticated environment, being able to give responsibility may be a major factor in meeting customer expectations and deadlines. Also, an open door policy with ongoing and frequent meetings, that include members of management and a sampling of employees, review of the primary goals, problems and various opportunities, and ensuring these are communicated to the rest of the staff. 5.Recognition And Reward: Recognition of both positive and negative behaviors, and achievement against goals, should be explained as major factors while establishing a positive culture. Everyone in the company should have a set of goals and objectives. In a positive culture, encouragement, appreciation, and recognition should be steadily described by the company lead runners. Incentive programs, such as cash bonuses, a trip, or other award functions for encouragement, for meeting and/or exceeding objectives and goals, are also recommended. Negative behavior has to be addressed. Individuals who do not choose, or are unable to embody the positive aspects and goals set by the company, may be terminated. Often, such individuals decide on their own to seek employment elsewhere. Once established, high standards, become the accepted norm in a positive culture, fostering teamwork and camaraderie.

  • 34. The need India is the world’s second most populous country in the world, and the fifth largest economy in terms of GDP when adjusting for international price differences. However, its per capita income in 2011 is only $3,600, placing India 129 out of around 184 countries. Despite this, India’s economy grew at a pace of 7.45% between 2000 to 2011, making it the world’s second-fastest growing major economy, according to, “Indian Social Enterprise Landscape Survey 2010”. The increasing urgent need to tackle social issues in more effective ways. At present, India’s rapidly growing economy has not managed to alleviate the extreme poverty of nearly half the country’s population that lives below the $1.25 per day poverty line. There are several reasons for this, including non-uniform infrastructure, low quality public good provision by the government (especially in health and education), and resource limitations. Successive governments have dealt with the complex problems at the root of tackling and alleviating the social challenges. Despite several initiatives, social inequalities remain even as we begin 2016 and we are very far from resolving some of our urgent social challenges like homelessness, malnutrition, illiteracy, substance abuse, gender-based violence, etc. The social sector has admirably addressed many of these burning issues but they have also been woefully underfunded, despite the CSR Bill and increasing Philanthropic donations. It is imperative that we look at addressing the social challenges in an innovative manner. In the traditional bifurcated system, social needs are primarily met through grants, CSR funds, non-repayable contributions, while capital markets are focussed on financial returns and economic growth. In addition, while the industry deals remarkably with economic consequences but more often than not, it largely doesn’t take into account social consequences in its primary business models. In recent times, however, a new sector that is bridging private, Evolving from CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) to CSV (Creating Shared Value) public and social sector is emerging. Emergence of a new converging economy A rising wave of social entrepreneurship is seeking to make meaningful difference to people’s lives. India’s vibrant social enterprise space is young in terms of years of operation, and nascent in terms of revenue size per enterprise. According to the Beyond Profit 2010 survey, about 68% of SEs have been in existence for five years or less. The social enterprises have several innovative business models. Enterprises could have a for-profit business models like Udhyogini; include collective ownership structures such as cooperatives and producer companies, like Waste Ventures, which “incubates solid waste management companies owned and operated by waste pickers”, not-for- profit structures, which make up a fifth of all social enterprises, such as Aravind Eye Care Hospitals, or have a business model that can be categorized as hybrid, wherein two or more entities, while not legally bound, work in close synergy with each other, usually because they are both founded by the same individual or individuals, like LifeSpring Hospitals. By definition, a social enterprise is a means to achieve sustainability through earned income. However, it is important to note the financial objectives differ among organisation. Social enterprises do not need to be profitable to be worthwhile. They can improve efficiency and effectiveness of an organisation by: - reducing the need for donated funds - providing a more reliable diversified funding base; or - enhancing the quality of programmes by increasing market discipline Globally, there are multiple experiments in this space linking CSR, entrepreneurship and livelihood, including helping existing/traditional community businesses as CSR (e.g. Indian public sectors like Oil and Natural Gas Thought Leader -By Meena Vaidyanathan niiti consulting Pvt.

Mahindra Finance and Marico have partnered with social venture fund Villgro to finance startups by using their corporate social responsibility (CSR) budget. The new Companies Act amendment allows such funding though incubators as CSR contributions, according to economictimes. Companies can create shared value opportunities in three ways: • Reconceiving products and markets - Companies can meet social needs while better serving existing markets, accessing new ones, or lowering costs through innovation • Redefining productivity in the value chain - Companies can improve the quality, quantity, cost, and reliability of inputs and distribution while they simultaneously act as a steward for essential natural resources and drive economic and social development • Enabling local cluster development - Companies do not operate in isolation from their surroundings. To compete and thrive, they rely on an ecosystem of players, all collaborating to create enhanced value and improved sustainability. Our future ability to meet growing needs in education, healthcare, energy, climate change, and the inclusion of vulnerable populations such as seniors, people with disabilities, requires an integrated approach to link and unlock economic and social value. About Meena Meena Vaidyanathan, has a double Masters degree in biotechnology and business management and a certificate holder in Social Entrepreneurship from INSEAD, has worked with Monsanto, Honeywell and HCL Technologies. She founded niiti consulting Pvt. Ltd. in 2010, with the aim of supporting and enabling programmes and organisations that create large scale social impact. Meena has led many projects with educational and healthcare institutions, NGOs, corporates and social enterprises alike. niiti also conducts training workshops on topics of social relevance for professionals like sexual harassment at work place, monitoring and evaluating social impact, CSR reporting, leveraging social media for community mobilization, etc. through its programme called Doer’s Labs.

Many companies in India are looking to this model for bringing about sustainability to their programmes. The concept of shared value could lead to large scale social Innovation The concept of shared value seeks to promote inclusive growth as a key agenda in India’s economic growth story. Corporations are finding new ways to accelerate growth and increase competitive advantage through innovative business models that meet societal needs and help create impact at scale. A well-known shared value example is that of Nestle, that decided to train and assist cocoa smallholder farmers to foster rural development while ensuring a reliable supply of high quality raw materials. This rural development strategy has had a direct impact in furthering the company’s business goals while at the same time ensuring sustainability of critical stakeholders in the supply chain. Small-scale initiatives of this nature could also be important test-beds for large-scale sustainable solutions. Strategically implementing and networking among small scale initiatives can create an environment that supports large-scale change by connecting relevant stakeholders and groups, such as from the policy or business domain. Many new emerging businesses like solar energy storage and distribution, waste management, etc. were considered as small scale social innovations just a few years ago. But they are considered the sunrise industries of today. The impact investment market is currently worth around $50 billion (£30 billion) globally, but it is estimated to be worth $1 trillion (£600 billion) in the next five years. This is because the lines between investment portfolios and philanthropic objectives are becoming blurred and impact investing could soon be part of everyone’s asset allocation, according to blue and green tomorrow.

  • 44. What is gender sensitivity? Is it the same as gender equality? Are workplaces in today’s India gender sensitive? Is sexual harassment of women in the workplace on the rise? These are some of the burning questions and issues at hand in today’s work environment. Multiple companies across all industry sectors are beginning to take note of these issues and address them. While this proactive approach is seen in some organisations, many others have been slow to recognize the need while the rest have completely ignored it. Gender sensitivity essentially refers to making women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral dimension of all policies and programs in an organization so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. Gender issues are sensitive and complicated and affect both women and men regardless of status. The ability of an organization to identify and handle gender inequality and gender discrimination underpins its success in creating a gender sensitive and inclusive work culture. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve gender equality. What about sexual harassment? Sexual harassment at the workplace has seen a steady rise in India. Though this has undoubtedly been the case for a while now, it is being Gender Sensitivity and Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace reported more openly and bravely as opposed to a few years ago. This radical shift can primarily be attributed to the enactment of the recent law in India - Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013. From a global standpoint, most countries have adopted some form of legislation at the national level that covers the issue of sexual harassment but a growing number of countries like India have adopted a specific legislation for the same. The International Labour Organization (ILO) also has standards and guidelines on prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace. So what exactly is Sexual Harassment? Sexual harassment is a manifestation of gender discrimination and is defined by the law as: • Unwelcome acts or behavior (whether directly or by implication) such as physical contact or advances, • Requests for sexual favours and • Any other verbal or physical conduct that is of a sexual nature. The law mandates that every company that has 10 or employees is required to formulate a Prevention of Sexual Harassment policy in accordance with the Act, constitute an Internal CXO Standpoint AUGUST 2016 |42
