23 Today s Landscape for HR: Challenges and Opportunities

24 Workforce contradictions abound Say good-bye to either/or choices We have talent surpluses in some areas and talent shortages in other We need to retain top talent and have limited rewards We want less hierarchy and need more leadership opportunities We seek diversity and want the benefits of a unifying culture We need to invest and need to reduce costs We want greater performance and have fewer resources to drive it 23

25 Global market research What are we hearing? Talent management will continue to grow as a top priority 80% of respondents say high priority in next three to five years; up from 50% today Leadership issues are top three talent priorities 75% of respondents say talent changes are imminent in the areas of succession, development, performance management, careers and employee engagement And, respondents admit lack of confidence to effect change Source: Future of Talent Management Survey, May 2010, 24

26 How the journey has been in India Outsourcing The industry has gone through 3 distinct themes in the last decade Scalability 1. Understanding their talent landscape, optimising available workforce capabilities, managing talent risks and avoiding skill shortages and leadership gaps 2. Sophisticated hiring engines created and sustained Retention 1. Double digit salary inflation, and LTI plans 2. Faster career movements, onsite (USA) opportunities, better lifestyles Differentiation 1. Adopting integrated, strategic talent management approaches to scale up 2. Rationalizing Organization Structures, more detailed career paths 3. Differentiated compensation plans 25

27 Talent Management Themes Scalability Understanding their talent landscape, optimising available workforce capabilities, managing talent risks and avoiding skill shortages and leadership gaps Sophisticated hiring engines created and sustained Setup complex systems and processes to drive and support scale Retention Double digit salary inflation, and LTI plans Faster career movements, onsite (USA) opportunities, better lifestyles Differentiation Rationalizing organization structures, more detailed career paths, job levelling Newer talent pools and alternate sources of talent Differentiated compensation plans 26

28 Conclusions

29 Discussion Managing costs is this an imperative for HR managers or the Finance team? Is pay for performance losing its sheen? Internal vs external equity is this still a recruitment battle or has it become a full fledged war in the boardroom? Benefits of benefits does the Gen y see this? Employability does this need to be corporate agenda, and how? How will globalization affect your reward strategy? 28
