Our ideas of what a good leader are changing as rapidly as the times are. In this episode of SHRM Radio, we examine that very question: if you want to rise to the upper echelons of management, is it better to be a generalist or a specialist? You also hear of so many shapes of leaders - T, M, I, pi! Is it possible to change from one to another? Or is it too late? These are some questions we will address on the time-tested debate about generalization and specialization.Join us on #SHRMRadio to hear them share their industry experiences, interesting anecdotes, and find an answer to this age-old question.

The Indian CHRO – How to build the Talent Pool   According to the latest study by Spencer Stuart only 9% CHROs of the 160 companies that were analyzed served on a board of directors. That number seems to be at odds with the importance of the HR function in a post Pandemic world. That should get reflected in a higher number of organizations putting the employee's voice in the boardroom.   Contrary to the popular perception that HR has more women leaders than other organizational functions, only 31% of the 160 companies studied have a woman CHRO.     In this episode, Neha and Abhijit discuss the findings of this study and explore what may be different ways to have more effective CHROs and enhance that representation in the boardroom. Learn about the three organizations that have come to be known as “Academy Companies for HR” and understand what makes them so. What can be an easy way to build business acumen in the workforce?  The episode is known for offering creative and yet practical solutions to workplace issues that everyone is talking about.

Can Informal learning be the next frontier for Organizational Learning and Development?    What started as a video sharing app for teens in China in 2016 quickly got reimagined as TikTok in 2017. In two years it grew to dominate 150 countries and have 75 languages to engage the users. By 2020 April, the app had hooked not just the Gen Z and Millennials but also their parents. The result was 2 billion TikTok downloads by April 2020.   In this episode of Unabashed, Neha and Abhijit discuss whether there is something that might change the way we view learning in the corporate world.  When did you last watch someone bang down the door to enlist themselves in a mandatory training program for compliance? But there are examples of large corporates who have challenged this assumption. Is informal learning the under-leveraged learning opportunity? What needs to work before self-directed learning goes mainstream.  Try out some of these ideas to encourage informal learning in your business.   Check out this article on how to take your learning strategy to the digital world https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/technology/pages/kick-start-your-digital-hr-strategy-mobile-learning.aspx https://abhijitbhaduri.com/2016/05/22/25-ideas-for-informal-learning/ (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__abhijitbhaduri.com_2016_05_22_25-2Dideas-2Dfor-2Dinformal-2Dlearning_&d=DwMFAw&c=nQOnw6HHAeKBNxj23OXhOw&r=brIZrmBoLrSmzIGjnibRclhgj03gZKZJZf4axFdlpKw&m=z6kEbRQJVM6nBWpzWOgxnJRDW0Ht09x1vr9D2mavllU&s=Pccx2qP5WbHvUt0I90uYPjoZUhlWs63YtYZ8U_B4LKU&e=)

One of the biggest barriers to equality and inclusion is the entry point –  when we are recruiting talent into the organization.  Due to the hiring bias, we fail to onboard a diversity of talent.  This episode of SHRM Radio is all about breaking the shackles of the hiring bias,  with our guest – Deepak Joseph, Head of Marketing, Indeed India

27: Ep 027 - In Conversation With Deepak Joseph (Head of Marketing, Indeed India)

New business models create new roles in organizations. Sometimes an unusual designation maybe just an early warning for the changes that are coming to your own job. Take the members of HR teams in Organizations for example.  Are they Human Resources professionals?  Or workplace experience designers or talent ninjas or learning experience facilitators?  What could be the future of designations in Marketing or Finance or Supply Chain or Logistics or PR... If Drone delivery becomes the new normal, should we expect to see Drone Fleet Managers or Drone Designers or Drone Warehouse in-charge?  The possibilities are exciting.   In this episode, Neha Pant (Senior Knowledge Advisor, SHRM India) and Abhijit Bhaduri (Leadership Coach & Author) have a candid conversation about scenarios shaping the work, workforce, and the workplace of the new future. https://shrm.org/shrm-india/Pages/EVF_Virtual.aspx
