Mr Hemang Jani, Secretary, capacity-building commission, at SHRM event.

New Delhi, 5^th September 2022: The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), in collaboration with Korn Ferry, organised a high-powered knowledge and networking breakfast event at the Taj Palace hotel on 2^nd Sep’22. The event was attended by most of the senior HR leaders of India and Mr Hemang Jani, Secretary, Capacity Building Commission & Board Member, Karmayogi Bharat. Karmayogi Bharat’s mission is to develop and maintain a comprehensive platform that guides civil service officials to build competency-based capacity through online, face-to-face and blended learning.

The event started with Ms Achal Khanna, CEO-SHRM India, APAC & MENA, launching the Global Workplace Culture Report 2022. The report shows that having an average workplace culture isn’t good enough in 2022, with almost 9 in 10 workers from India indicating that their manager encourages a culture of open and transparent communication. This suggests that competition is fierce, and even organisations with average workplace cultures will need to improve quickly. Also, globally, most workplaces still endorse a positive work culture despite the turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Hemang Jani, Secretary, Capacity Building Commission & Board Member, Karmayogi Bharat, shared his views on how the government is engaging the private sector to build the capacity of Indian bureaucrats to help the growth of New Indian Inc. According to him, “improving people is essential for improving processes and implementing policies more effectively in any organisation. Through training, Mission Karmayogi aims to improve civil servants’ skills and train them in behavioural and functional competencies. Additionally, the capacity-building programme will keep the bureaucracy up-to-date regarding domain knowledge, behavioural proprieties, and a results-oriented approach. To make the programme successful, we look forward to working closely with the HR fraternity”. 

We are delighted to hear from Mr Hemang Jani, Secretary, Capacity Building Commission, about the Karmoyogi Bharat mission. We look forward to working together to make it successful,” said Achal Khanna, CEO of SHRM India, APAC, and MENA. Thanks to all distinguished delegate attendees for making the event a success.

Additionally, Mr Anand Shankar, Director TMTC & Senior VP Group HR, Tata Services Ltd., moderated a fireside chat on Transforming Workforce Management in conversation with Mr Sumeet Doshi, Country Manager- India, UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group).
