Attracting Top Talent in India Inc (2024): A Care-Centric Approach Pallavi Pareek's emphasis on a care-centric conversation resonates strongly, especially in today's job market. Here's how India Inc. can leverage this perspective to attract top talent in 2024: 1. Redefining Employee Value Proposition (EVP): Move beyond just compensation and benefits. Focus on well-being by offering flexible work arrangements, mental health resources, and childcare support. 2. Fostering a Growth Mindset: Invest in skill development programs tailored to individual needs. Encourage continuous learning through conferences, workshops, and mentorship opportunities. 3. Purpose Over Pay-cheque: Align company values with social impact initiatives. Tap into the desire of millennial and Gen Z talent to contribute to the greater good. 4. Amplify Diversity & Inclusion (D&I): Create a work environment that celebrates unique perspectives and fosters a sense of belonging. Attract a wider talent pool by addressing unconscious bias and promoting equal opportunity. 5. Leverage the Power of Remote Work: Embrace a hybrid model that allows talent to work from anywhere. This can attract skilled professionals who may not be located in metros. Adding a Unique Perspective: Building on Pareek's "care-centric" approach, India Inc. can also consider: Work-life integration programs: Offer on-site fitness classes, meditation sessions, or financial planning workshops to address employee well-being holistically. Focus on mental health: Normalize conversations about mental health and provide access to counselling services to create a supportive work environment. Employee ownership: Consider profit-sharing or stock option plans to give employees a stake in the company's success and foster a sense of ownership. By prioritising employee well-being and growth alongside competitive compensation, India Inc. can position itself as a magnet for top talent in 2024. #wellbeingatwork #employeecare #careereducation #workplaceculture #diversityandinclusion Sumit Sharma

LinkedIn News India shared our views on 'culture-first' companies and how to build them, and we are glad that so many of you resonated with the thoughts. Employees are not just their roles and responsibilities, they are humans. They put their trust, hard work and time irrespective of which stage the organisation is. If you are looking at becoming a care-centric organisation, then your employees should come first. Watch this video as Pallavi Pareek shares some insightful thoughts on how to attract and retain top talent.

I believe to attract top talent it is most important to create a supportive work environment. The more valued and inclusive the employees feel, the more they will tend to be attracted or stick with it. In today's times, flexibility, work-life balance and company culture are equally important along with compensation. Firms can create a work environment that not only attracts top talent but also resonates with the values and needs of individuals. The amount of time one spends at work is almost equal to the time he spends with his family. So, he must feel like being a part of the family. Like Pallavi Pareek mentioned, "Employee first" is the need of the hour. #supportive #talent #employeefirst #family #worklifebalance #culture #valued #respect #linkedin #mindset

Apart from competitive compensation,India Inc can adopt several strategies to attract top talent in 2024: 1. Career Growth Opportunities: Providing clear paths for career advancement and professional development is essential. Top talent seeks organizations where they can continually learn and grow. India Inc can offer mentorship programs, training workshops, and opportunities for skill enhancement. 2. Innovative and Purpose-Driven Culture: Top talent is often drawn to organizations with a strong sense of purpose and innovation. India Inc can cultivate a culture that encourages creativity, risk-taking and entrepreneurship. 3. Focus on Employee Well-being: Prioritizing employee well-being is key to attracting and retaining top talent. India Inc can offer wellness programs, mental health support and initiatives that promote work-life balance to demonstrate its commitment to employee health and happiness. 4. Strong Employer Branding: Building a strong employer brand is essential for attracting top talent. India Inc can leverage social media, employer review sites, and employee testimonials to showcase its company culture, values and unique selling points as an employer of choice.

Pallavi, you have rightly reminded to leaders what approach they need to maintain for sustainable growth of employees and organization at large. Humans are not robots - leaders must not instruct only to get the tasks done, provide space to employees to work themselves and motivate them to do so, be ready to help them when they need your support and do not forget to appreciate small-small achievements they hv made to satisfy customers, making quality products and thus growing our organization. Well reminded by you Pallavi , appreciating.

First of all I would like to thank Pallavi Pareek and LinkedIn News India for the great insights on the employee centric approach. Now coming to my view point on resource engagement. 1. Organization should focus more on employee engagement and personalized growth as a human and not for formalities or to achieve only self goal by people manager and HR person. 2. How the organizations addressing uncertainty, fear, anxiety which employees carry as baggage and due to that employees facing lot health issues. How organizations are going to deal with mental health issues of employees resulting in low productivity. 3. The most important aspect that all organizations or specially business leaders say that customer is God and employee must be a yes man/women infront of customer by knowing the facts. Sometimes leaders ask employees to put down their papers because customers do not want those people due to personal ego. It's impact badly the business, organization and majorly impacts other employees working in the same environment. In this aspect Leaders must be behind their employees and organisations must be employee centric especially the service industry.

Right insights, Pallavi Pareek. India Inc can successfully attract and retain top talent by shifting its focus to an employee-centric approach. This strategy emphasizes a positive employee experience, ultimately leading to better customer experiences. India Inc’s shift towards an employee-centric approach reflects a deeper understanding of the link between employee satisfaction and overall business success. By nurturing their workforce, companies can create a positive ripple effect that extends to customer interactions and organizational growth... #leadershipmantras #careermantras

This is a great realization. Telling your employees that the customer is king or god, no matter what has been a problematic approach. Yes, the Customer comes first, for any business, However, those serving them can't be kept on the pedestal and treated like non-entities. It all boils down to finding the right balance for all the stakeholders. without the right talent, organizations can't retain clients for the long term.

As your employees, so your customers! The Mirror theory of Employee/Customer Loyalty clearly states that a satisfied and happy employee, reflects on its customers' satisfaction and happiness. This is clear in the context "your employees are your customers". What makes the employees satisfied and happier is the biggest challenge of any employer. It is just not a part of his business, but it is the business, whether he likes it or not. By focusing on what our employees want, we need to focus on their needs first and their wants next. These are the (individual-centric) factors of the third focus, i.e. their retention (organization-centric) outcome. As rightly pointed out by #pallavipareek, in the process, first step should be taken from the process of attracting our talents. Right from communicating 'what we want from you', till the separation terms such as 'why we do not want you', the employer's care needs to be given so much importance to focus on the employees wellbeing, skill development and engagement. Frequently checking their mind-sets, moral-sets and commitments by various feedback and as-is study mechanisms and working on them in prudence may help in attracting and retaining top talents in India Inc.
