The HR industry in India has come a long way from being a small and a slow department with bureaucratic working style to getting involved in major business decisions across organisations. The growth in the industry is due to challenges such as globalisation, rapid adaptation of technology, changes in employees’ priorities, and frequent changes to Government policies to name a few.

Earlier the industry demanded professionals who would specialise in one particular function within HR. But now there is a demand for professionals with more generic skills, who can handle any function. Some qualities that the industry demands are strategic vision, technology adaptation, consulting, relation-building, data crunching, crisis management and ability to handle complexity.

Since the industry is growing at a rapid pace, there is a need for HR professionals who are qualified and have the skills and ability to adapt to the dynamic nature of the industry. It is an opportune moment for institutions offering postgraduate courses around Human Resources to promote these courses to Indian students. The institutions can avail SIEM India’s digital and non-digital platforms to reach the local institutions and students who are interested or related to Human Resources. To know more about our platforms please write to Shruti Khanna with a copy to SIEM South Asia.
