HRD IN INDIAN INDUSTRY
Need Of HRD In Indian Industry:Liberalization of Indian economy changes in corporate sectorpressure on companies to produce / provide quality products /
services. Increased competition resulted in companies looking for cost-
effectiveness / up gradation of work methods, work norms, up
gradation of technical / managerial skills. HRD to play an important
role in:
Restructuring Of Organization Hierarchy levels reduced to makeorganization structure more flat and increase span of control.
Organization now short & wide. Focus of Department of organization
structure moved from function (development, production, marketing,
etc) to product or service.
Emphasis on core competency With end of license raj, companies
do not have to obtain license in advance. Shift in developing core
competency through mergers & demerger.
Technological Changes: Introduction of computerisation and other
technological changes has resulted in redundancy in employees. Need
to re-train to deploy else where. Non-critical functions outsourced so
company can concentrate on critical function.

HRD IN INDIAN INDUSTRY Workforce empowerment Many companies are now vesting
employees with greater authority by conferring big titles and increasingaccountability (benevolent autocrat). Work from Home. Flexible work
hours etc. This poses a big challenge for HRD manager.
More Attention for Special Category Workers Women, SC, ST,
Handicapped, Minority etc given special attention. Benefits like special
breaks, flexi timings, work from home, balancing job demands with
family etc.
Compensation linked to shareholder value new conceptintroduced in US & now being followed in India. ESOP (Employee
stock option plan) is prevalent in many companies in India.
Compensation also linked to company profits (bonus).
Greater employee commitment Research carried out by Walker
Information & CSM Worldwide ranks India 3rd in employee focus. But
9th in employee commitment. HRD intervention required to incraese
commitment. More Research On HRD Continuous research needed to discover
New HRD methods & interventions required to increase employee
focus & commitment. HRD oriented organizations should pool their
experiences.
