HR Learnings: 28th February, 2022

 1.  Coaching culture – Why organisations need it now more than ever.

The traditional workplace culture is rapidly becoming outdated. Technological advances, employee expectations, and new ways of working and collaborating amid the pandemic have all impacted how we see the workplace and what we expect from it. Companies that still follow the traditional approach are at a critical point and risk losing their employees to companies that adapt to the future. The ‘Great Resignation’ trend, while not as apparent in India as in the US, is still affecting some companies. They are struggling to find and retain top talent, putting themselves at risk of falling behind competition and becoming irrelevant in the long run.

2.  Character: The Elusive Key to Leadership.  

What does it take to be a tennis player? For starters, we need a certain amount of knowledge and skills. We can’t play tennis if we don’t know the rules and can’t serve, run, and hit the ball forehandand backhand. What does it take to move beyond this baseline and become a good player – or a champion? This has more to do with who the person is. Factors such as level of motivation, hours of practiceand the response to criticism will affect the skill level. Personal characteristics such as how we react under pressure will affect our ability to use those skills.

3.  Why NOW is the best time to add content curation to your L&D arsenal.

Organisations across industries are slowly but surely experiencing the need for employee skilling, not only to meet the needs of the ‘new normal’ but also solve complex business challenges arising due.to the disruptions caused by the pandemic and the plethora of new enterprise tools and technologies flooding the market.

Furthermore, constant innovations in the workplace and the rising attrition rate have resulted in a constant demand for talented employees, and calling on L&D pros to be more proactive in their approach to optimise available talent and focus on capability development in order to address the skills gap.
