The CSR activities that India needs the most are in the areas of education and health care.

Q- I have done BSc in botany. I love interacting with people and understanding their perspective. Is it a prerequisite to obtain a degree in HR to venture into the industry?

A. Traditionally, it was not a prerequisite but nowadays industry requirements have changed. An HR professional today develops an overall understanding of the industry and is prepared to take up any role. An MBA in HR or doing PGDM (HR) from any reputed institute will not only give you ample exposure to the industry but will also help in finding the appropriate platform to start your career. It is good that you are good with people but learning to manage them is something you need to do.

Q- What can be the best HR practices to achieve organisational goals every year?

A. The role of HR management is evolving with the emergence of new technologies and growth of the global marketplace. It is time for companies to recognise the value of talented and informed HR department.

One of the most important HR practices is delighting employees with the unexpected!

Benefits, compensation, and work-life balance are the most important factors in providing overall job satisfaction. These factors further ensure that employees who stay longer are more productive and earnest. Employee recognition is another important factor that helps a company achieve its desired goals, as it is the talent that ensures the overall growth of any business. Spot awards, annual achievement awards, outstanding performance award, best employee award, could be some of the other initiatives as part of best HR practices. Click here to read more interviews..
