CHRO Strategies to Connect Employee Success and Business Growth CHROs face a chasm between employee expectations and business goals. Here are six ways to bridge the gap. If the key to a successful business is its people, then the key to business growth is people growth. The companies that succeed at recruiting and retaining top talent are those that help their employees explore their interests and passions, build their skills, and grow their careers. And businesses are catching on: A 2023 LinkedIn report reveals that 83% of companies want to build a more people-centric culture, recognizing that employee success determines organizational success.¹ But being people-centric isn’t enough. Companies truly soar when chief human resources officers give managers throughout the business the tools to connect employee success to bottom-line growth and profits.

The Flawed Bell Curve: How It Hurts Organizations and Employees In today’s fast-paced corporate world, performance appraisals are critical for measuring productivity and success. Unfortunately, the bell curve—a method often used in appraisal systems—has led to a #toxic #corporate #culture, where instead of nurturing talent, employees are demoralized, forced into Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs), and eventually pressured to resign. Organizations often misuse the bell curve to protect their bottom line. Under the guise of “performance management,” some managers deliberately push associates into low-ranking categories, ensuring they fall short of expectations, all in the name of protecting profit margins. This practice allows managers to meet targets while sidestepping the ethical obligation to nurture and grow their teams. Employees who don’t fit into a predefined quota are often treated unfairly, demoted, or labeled as underperformers, regardless of their actual contribution to the organization. This #strategy serves the financial interests of organizations at the expense of associate #well-#being, #job #satisfaction, and long-term #career #growth. While leaders are expected to foster an environment where every team member can thrive, some people managers instead resort to intimidation, using #PIPs as a weapon to demoralize employees rather than as a tool for genuine development. Associates are pushed to exit on their own, saving the company from providing severance packages or bearing the legal ramifications of forced layoffs. This cuts costs for the organization, but at what price? Employees lose their confidence, their careers take an unjust hit, and the overall culture within the company becomes one of fear and competition rather than collaboration. True leadership, however, is about inclusivity and fostering a culture where individuals can grow. Great people managers focus on each associate’s strengths and work to bring out their best potential. They prioritize the team’s success over their own, creating an atmosphere of trust and cooperation. In such environments, every employee feels valued and supported, which not only boosts morale but also improves overall organizational performance. A caring and safe environment is essential for building an engaged, passionate workforce. Instead of manipulating appraisal systems to meet short-term financial targets, organizations should focus on long-term employee development. It’s only when leaders prioritize inclusivity, create space for individual strengths, and genuinely care for their teams that companies can achieve sustainable success. After all, an organization is only as strong as the people who stand behind it. To Critics driven #Organization. To #Empathetic #HR #Leaders. To #People #Driven #Managers,#Organizations – What are your thoughts?

Companies are rethinking employee rewards to meet the evolving expectations of Gen Z professionals, as reported by The Economic Times. With digital rewards like points and badges gaining traction, organizations are moving away from traditional practices. Innovative initiatives, such as Epsilon India's unique passport system for event participation and Roche Information Solutions India's digital vouchers for family-friendly experiences, are leading the way. Merck India and Allstate India are also implementing gamification strategies to boost engagement and motivation among employees. As Milind Shah from Randstad Digital notes, these approaches foster collaboration and create a culture of respect through peer recognition. It's clear that adapting to the preferences of the new workforce is essential for driving employee satisfaction and retention. #EmployeeEngagement #GenZ #WorkplaceInnovation #DigitalRewards #HRTrends #spectracompunet

Dale Carnegie's quote highlights the behavioral nature of tension and relaxation, framing them as habits that can be consciously changed. It suggests that while tension and stress may become ingrained through habit, they can be overcome through intentional efforts to cultivate relaxation and healthier habits. This perspective underscores the power of mindfulness and proactive behavior in managing stress and promoting well-being.

🌟 **Global Day of Parents: Celebrating Values and Leadership** 🌟 On this Global Day of Parents, we honor the unsung heroes who shape our lives with love, guidance, and unwavering support. Parenting and leadership share many similarities, both requiring a delicate balance of empathy, strength, and dedication. Here are some reflections and best practices that bridge the worlds of parenting and leadership: **Values and Relationships:** 🔹 **Trust and Respect:** Building strong relationships based on trust is crucial, whether it's with your children or your team. 🔹 **Empathy and Understanding:** Listening and understanding others' perspectives fosters a nurturing environment. 🕉️ "मातृ देवो भव। पितृ देवो भव।" (Mātṛ Devo Bhava. Pitṛ Devo Bhava.) - Treat your mother and father as gods. **Challenges in Parenting and Leadership:** 🔸 **Balancing Responsibilities:** Juggling multiple roles and responsibilities can be overwhelming. 🔸 **Communication:** Clear and effective communication is vital but often challenging to maintain consistently. 🕉️ "स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः।" (Svadharme nidhanaṃ śreyaḥ paradharmo bhayāvahaḥ.) - Better is death in one’s own duty; the duty of another is fraught with fear. **Things to Feel Good About:** ✅ **Impact:** The positive impact you have on your children's and team's growth and development. ✅ **Resilience:** Overcoming challenges and seeing those you lead or parent thrive. 🕉️ "उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्।" (Uddhared ātmanātmānaṃ nātmānam avasādayet.) - One should lift oneself by one's own self and not degrade oneself. **Things to Improve:** 🔄 **Work-Life Balance:** Striving for a better balance to ensure personal well-being. 🔄 **Continuous Learning:** Embracing a mindset of lifelong learning and self-improvement. 🕉️ "विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम्।" (Vidya dadāti vinayaṃ vinayād yāti pātratām.) - Knowledge imparts humility, and from humility, one becomes worthy. **Best Practices:** 🌟 **Lead by Example:** Model the behavior you wish to see in your children and team members. 🌟 **Encourage Independence:** Foster an environment where others can grow and take initiative. 🕉️ "कर्तव्यं योगमाश्रित्य वा कुरु कर्माणि" (Kartavyaṃ yoga-māśritya vā kuru karmāṇi) - Perform your duty and abandon all attachment to success or failure. **Things to Correct:** ⚠️ **Micromanagement:** Avoiding the tendency to micromanage and instead, trust in the capabilities of those you lead. ⚠️ **Overcommitment:** Learning to set boundaries to avoid burnout and maintain effectiveness. 🕉️ "सर्वं परवशं दुःखं सर्वमात्मवशं सुखम्।" (Sarvaṃ paravaśaṃ duḥkhaṃ sarvamātmavaśaṃ sukham.) - Dependence on others is misery; independence is happiness. Happy Global Day of Parents! 🌍👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 #GlobalDayOfParents #Leadership #Parenting #Values #Relationships #Growth #Challenges #BestPractices Murthy Suggala Dara Vijaya Krishna Eswara Kunisetty Nagendra Kumar Amit Prasad

Can individual wisdom be better than collective wisdom? One pro for individual wisdom is that it can lead to total freedom with unrestricted and unbounded creativity. While one con is lack of feedback and just-in-time course correction. And once we start seeking feedback quick and fast, it can no longer be called individual wisdom, rather that is collective wisdom. If a group is empowered - let's say that's a team - and is autonomous, the group can also emulate total freedom with unrestricted and unbounded creativity while course-correcting themselves by close collaboration, mutual feedback and consultation. This group can then take up challenges that an individual cannot easily take. While there can be examples of extreme individual intelligence, but that's super rare and an exception from exceptions. These are folks who get everything right every time. The only thing much realistic, that can deal with complex problems in the world and bring best possible solutions, is then this collective wisdom. Such is the Talent vs Team debate.
