Some of the important points discussed:

1. Pandemic made us individual contributors. How are HR leaders going to deal with when employees come back to the workplace?

“Redesigning workplace, collaboration and community events can help a lot in achieving the old days.” – Ms. Sonali Kumar.

“Safety material for employees, backup plan for other pandemic and entertaining activities will do the work” – Mr. Chang LIU.

“Safety, reimaging workforce, driving innovation, building multi-read companies, knowing about evolving jobs, building resilience within culture and investing in people managers will bring back people on the previous track.” – Mr. Appandairajan Krishnakumar.

“Cultural triggers, preparing workforce for uncertainties, mental health, growth mentality, bonding, bridging, linking, collaboration and building competencies are the torch bearers.” –Mr. Arindam Mukherjee.

2. How to align gig workforce with cultural pillars?

By creating the same onboarding, training process and learning techniques like LinkedIn learning for gig workforce, we can align them with the prevailing cultural pillars. They have to follow the same performance management system also.” –Ms. Sonali Kumar.

“It can be done by providing flexibility, tracking activities, keeping a record on KPI and KRA, designing employees’ modules, objective for employees, result for companies development, safe environment, same resources.” – Mr. Chang LIU.

4. Employee development becomes a part of one’s own choice.

“Companies are implementing 70:20:10 principles where 70% learning happens on the job, 20% happens by mentoring and 10% is classroom teaching. On job learning is important. Applying one size doesn’t fit all. There is a need to balance things as we move forward. –Mr. Arindam Mukherjee.

“Most of the development happens on the job. Four scale evaluators for managers which include performance, development, engagement and trust are working well for employees. Encouraging teams, networking of curiosity ambassadors are also becoming helpful.” – Ms. Sonali Kumar.

“Digital identity, decency, bringing in changes, developing young leadership, financial stability, developing leadership, girls for technology programs and employee engagement will bring in change in the whole architecture.”– Mr. Appandairajan Krishnakumar.
