The HR leadership imperative

The inaugural edition of Team Marksmen’s HR Leadership Conclave aims to empower leaders with the insights needed to craft tomorrow’s performance champions.

A slew of changes are inundating the Human Resources (HR) landscape as we know it. Be it the emergence of the gig economy, technological advancements, and rising employee expectations or more, these factors when viewed in totality promise to upend the traditional work model as we know it.

These changes have manifested in many guises and names, such as The Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, and they have sent many an organisation across industries scrambling to reorder their best-laid plans. As a consequence of these trends, most industries have found it challenging to retain the best talent. This, when seen in combination with the rapid evolution of technology and the subsequent need to focus on training and development to close skill and capability gaps, have created quite a  conundrum.

Change, the only constant

In this changing milieu, HR strategies have to take on a different nature. This can be attributed to the evolving nature of business demands, and the new-age mindset of employees that is unlike that of any generation that preceded them. This somewhat seismic shift in the landscape will see the HR function play a more strategic, driving role with increasing focus on broader human capital issues.

The pace of change is dizzying, with HR leaders at its epicenter, and they are exploring ways to use technology, automation, analytics, and data driven insights to improve the employee experience, identifying trends in attrition and gaining valuable insights into optimising employee performance

Arriving at the apt response at an individual or organisational level is no mean task. There are questions to be asked at the commencement of such a journey; how exactly are leaders or organisations expected to reshuffle the pack? Where do they begin, and will the philosophies and approaches of years gone by suffice for today’s industrial era, with boundaries blurred and workplaces operating in a fluid manner?

The inaugural edition of Team Marksmen’s HR Leadership Conclave seeks to resolve these quandaries by bringing together senior industry leaders to explore some of the key HR trends in India that are shaping the future of work. Taking place on June 21, 2023 in Mumbai, this conclave will offer attendees insights into the best practices, key business use cases, and a comprehensive overview of the most effective HR strategies in the Indian context. In doing so, it aims to pinpoint the most critical procedural and structural shifts facing modern-day organisations and offers ideas and suggestions on how to grapple with them.

Offering his thoughts ahead of the event, Sharad Gupta, Co-Founder, Team Marksmen Network, said, “One cannot understate the importance of organisations in contributing to global wellbeing. Of the approximately 8 billion people on our planet, about 3.3 billion of them worked in organisations in 2022. Now, with the nature of organisations and work itself in a state of flux, we need to understand these shifts to paint a picture of where we’re collectively headed. The disruptions defining today’s organisational landscape are deep, but leaders must view them as harbingers of opportunity, to shape a more successful tomorrow. The HR Leadership Conclave aims to do so, by helping leaders unlock the most value today, in order to create the performance champions of tomorrow.”

With a wide array of topics being covered, such as exploring next-gen HR technologies, approaches to managing demands of the changing workforce, identifying and developing high-potential talent, strategies to ensure employee-wellbeing, creating an employee – centric culture with focus on DEI initiatives, and much more, attendees can look forward to gaining a fuller understanding of what today’s workers want and what companies need.
