Talent Nurturing – The New Corporate Mantra

Human Resource was always considered a back office maintenance operation. But over the years, Indian companies have realised that to beat the competition, its employees are the only sustainable core competency. As a result, HR has taken centrestage and has started reshaping business strategy. The business strategy which revolved around improving bottomlines has now started to address more important issues. One of such important issues is talent development. Talent has been in short supply across industry verticals. And these days, having a highly talented pool of workers is a promising proposition for companies. In India, many companies have taken the initiative towards developing talents. Infosys has Infosys Leadership Institute in Mysore to prepare people for leadership roles. They also have a Corporate Training Centre for training fresh recruits. Wipro has a full fledged Talent Transformation Centre with full time in-house consultants. IBM has recently launched a ’IBM Drona’ programme under which they are providing training to faculty members of select engineering colleges. The idea is to train faculty members for the latest IT platform and technologies, who in turn will train the students (prospective employees). This way, the companies expect to nurture the best talent to work in the best manner.
