While some resolutions are meant to correct the past, others are made to mend the future. Ankita Shreeram profiles key HR trends that will pave the way ahead for 2013. on the edge of the December and 2012, Career News banked the issues of upcoming career and recruitment trends and its impact though social media.

2013, are WE READY? GREATER UTILIZATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA
"Companies started utilizing social media for branding and hiring.A lot of companies have now established social media guidelines.Customers are more tech-savvy and are exploring their options on-the-go before making a choice and employees too have to match up to this trend,"says HR manager- Courtyard by Marriott Chennai.
  
RECRUITMENT PROCESS OUTSOURCING
"In a number of sectors such as financial services, we have seen a growth in the demand-supply gap as banks increasingly offshore a number of their middle and back office functions to India.This has resulted in a need for a more focused, widespread and an aggressive talent attraction strategy.While traditionally a majority of recruitment was done in-house through referrals, etc, we are seeing more recruitment through offbeat sources and many BFSI organizations have also adopted an RPO model,"suggests MD, Michael Page (India).
  
ADOPTION OF E-LEARNING TECHNIQUES
"HR departments are now including e-Learning course-ware,consisting of videos, pod-casts and other learning resources,in their L&D mix.The lower cost, and a wider reach with less logistical challenges,of eLearning is forcing a major reshuffle in focus (and budgets) in corporate training,"says founder & director,Technology Solutions, Upside learning.

INCREASED SCARCITY OF TALENT
"An estimated 31 per cent of employers find it difficult to fill positions because of talent shortages in their respective markets/industries. Average attrition rate in India has increased by 25 per cent over the last year.Women employees are less prone to frequent job changes. For every 10 men changing their jobs, there are only two women doing so,"avers partner, KPMG India.
  
GREATER AWARENESS TOWARDS WORKPLACE DIVERSITY
"Most of the corporates are aware that diversity plays a key role considering the increasing number of educated women who are joining the workforce and therefore,it’s no longer a situation where the diversity agenda applies to select large companies or MNCs,but it's equally important and relevant for all organizations. I think awareness levels as well as intent are becoming clearer and HR continues to play a very important role in this regard,"opines Indrajit Chatterjee VP,HR,Nitco Ltd.

SMALL BUSINESSES ADOPT HR TECHNOLOGY"Looking at the rising technology,the small business firms introduced HR technology to their workplace and got rid of the manual methods of scheduling and payroll.It not only saved a lot of their time and money,but also reduced the scope for mistakes to a great extent," says Deepak Kaistha,managing partner, Planman Consulting.
  
ADVANCED ANALYTICS FOR ANDIDATE SELECTION
"This is an area, which is gaining foothold and bringing in value. With the resources available to collect and look through a large amount of personal data and those becoming easy,‘Big Data Analytics’ methods help recruiters derive concise insights into the candidates’ competencies based on the insights generated," says CEO and founder of Classle Knowledge Pvt Ltd.

CHANGING EMPLOYER BRAND
"International banks have struggled this year to manage the duality of information about the organization and its growth/hiring plans within India v/s the news regarding its downsizing globally.This required a number of organizations to relook at the way their employer brand is positioned. Also, in certain areas where sectors have seen a slowdown, smaller domestic firms had the advantage of being able to cherry-pick strong talent,"suggests Tripathi.

EMPHASIS ON INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
"With the Maruti incident that took place in mid-2012, companies are taking a harder look at their IR capability.We have also seen business schools invest in new IR specific courses to help HR professionals in developing a stronger understanding of the complexities of this area," says Tripathi.

REORGANIZATION OF THE HR FUNCTION
Many organizations are observing a transition from the strategic role of HR to a transactional one.'HR outsourcing' as a concept is increasingly gaining steam."For instance, many organizations have globally outsourced more than 80 per cent of their transactional HR activities. At home, many Indian conglomerates are housing most of the transactional HR activities into a separate organization called ‘Shared Services Organization’," says Shermon.

Managing Egowar in Workplace


Ego issues at the workplace are quite common. here are some lists some simple steps that one can follow at the workplace to prevent ego-related tussles. Career news brought an excellent survey report and some tips to manage your ego which is resultant of your anger, stress and jealousy.

Many of us spend a majority of our time at the workplace and are in constant touch with our colleagues, bosses and others. In a demanding and competitive work environment, tempers can rise and small issues can get blown out of proportion. When ego problems crop up at our place of work, we cannot focus on the task at hand, and this could disrupt the entire functioning of an organization.

Further on, ego tussles develop when employees are of the mindset that "I" and not "WE" contribute more towards the organisation. "Organizations with leaders or managers or even individuals who have ego issues experience low employee morale, limited creativity, and high employee turnover. All these affect employee productivity," says Ramaswamy Kavalapara head of HR, Xchanging India.

"Egoistic leaders often engage in employee favouritism, thus leading to internal strife and low morale,” opines Cecy Kuruvilla, global director - leadership development/diversity at Sodexo Remote Sites & Asia - Australia (AMECAA).

Leaders, as catalysts, should bring the affected parties together and be an enabler to break the deadlock, and provide a forum for open discussion of 'intent' versus 'impact' of ego issues. While individual leadership styles may be different, leaders who provide a clear vision, set high standards and are role models can energize everyone.

"Leaders/managers must invest more time in coaching. They must also indulge in teambuilding activities such as experiential learning workshops. They should also strive to shape a transparent and performance-driven culture within the organisation," notes Ashish Arora, founder and managing director, HR Anexi.

The first thing to remember is that the success of any project involves team work. In many cases, one sees projects getting delayed because of ego hassles among team members. This can be very detrimental to an organization. A leader should try to identify the strength of the person and then help him/her solve their ego problem. For instance, if the person's strength lies in a particular area, the leader should praise him/her for that and also ask to share tips with other employees in the team. This, in turn, will boost the self-confidence of that person.

"“It is imperative for a manager to foster open communication, resolve or manage conflicts and disagreements and ensure equitable and fair treatment among employees. Having systems in place to accomplish work and employee relations is important; often, it is an ombudsman's role to manage behavioral issues at the workplace. A manager's ability to stay centered in the midst of chaos can also enhance the employee-manager relationship," adds Kuruvilla.

It's tough going to work everyday when you know you have to deal with your boss’ or colleague's 'fat'’ ego. But, if handled tactfully, it's not a big deal at all. "The leader should listen to the 'ego-bruised' colleagues patiently, thereby finding a common ground for resolution. Assuage the feelings but do not stretch it," says Somnath Pal, CEO, Citrus Check Inns.
