He advised, H.R. heads of corporate sector for taking care of workers, so that they can give their best to the organization. He further reiterated to the heads of corporate houses that workers who were retrenched in the recession period must be re-instantiated & this process should be quick.
The guest of honor Mr. G.B. Pattnaik Principle Secretary to Honorable Governor Uttar Pradesh, voiced his opinion in favour of giving the humane touch to the work force by corporate houses.

Mr. Jayant Krishna, Chief Consultant, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) said, “Human Resources has always been in need for improvement of bottom and top line workers”. This can be achieved by improved co-operation and training of human resource. He added that, in the present world everything is performance driven and to achieve excellence in performance, organizations need to focus on employees and infact more than their customers. Center of gravity of global business is shifting Asia and companies from India are acquiring foreign companies. Hence, now the world is becoming flatter and Indian work force is now treated as global citizens.
Mr. Alok Saxena, Chairman CII U.P. addressed H.R. heads of the different corporate houses and said that “Economic health of any organization is linked with the H.R. policies of that particular company. Our human resource has to be flexible, as per the need and demand of time.

He further said that, only 45 % of the graduates are employable and the remaining lot needs to be brushed up according to the corporate demand, in which the concept of finishing school may play a great role. It’s a matter of pride for India that, in the world only 3 companies are 6 sigma certified of which apart from global giants G.E. and Motorola the third one is Mumbai Dabbawala. Human Resource community may also look in the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility, while recruiting, in which they can consider differently abled people as employees in their different functions.
