Indian economy is considered to be a destination of opportunities in several ways – most importantlybased on its market size and demography. From the beginning of last decade of previous millennium,hopes were generated that this economy would be in a position to log in growth rate closer to doubledigit and sustain it for long.
While it did happen for sometime its tenacity and momentum could not be maintained. CurrentlyIndian economy is faced with formidable challenges a specially rising current account deficit (CAD)and unemployment besides industrial sector has been hit hard by weak global demand, weak supplylinkages, high import costs, due to rupee’s declining value and sluggish investment activities.Economic and social issues are integrally linked perhaps more now than ever before. Businessenterprises are also impacted by developments in the economy.
During such environment human resource is expected to play a leading role by remaining moreengaged than ever, in developing and retaining talent, reducing costs and aligning its activities withthe overall business strategies and initiatives for unlocking the potential for the future growth.Human resources are both cause and effect of enterprises. It is therefore necessary that continuouslearning about changes that impact organisations is facilitated so that enterprises proactively developtheir strategies and responses to deal with uncertainty of the future. Economic uncertainty influencesthe process of H R planning and strategies. Diversity in planning has unique challenges duringrecession; because depletion in source availability can significantly impact company’s strategies todesign jobs and working system. It is the H R professionals’ ability to govern H R policies. Company’scan implement practices that will enable them not only to survive and economic downturn but todevelop unique strategic options to gain competitive edge for growth.
Keeping in view the present economic scenario a one day H R convention on the theme:
HR Initiatives in Challenging Economic Environment from Complexity to Clarity; isorganised by Gujarat Employers’ Organisation (GEO). Distinguished speakers will share theirknowledge and practical experiences to help participants explore ways and means for futurestrategies and actions of their organisation to travel from haze of today to clarity of tomorrow.
