The CEO can act as an ambassador with a common message and vision as a string to connect the diverse workforce

Q. What initiatives should HR take to align itself with the business goals and strategies?

A. The right way to do this is to transfer to HR the senior people who have marketing, production or delivery experience. Expecting HR to participate in the business and do it the way other executives do will be difficult without correcting the thought process, which can be done by rotation at the top.

Q. Where should the HR department stand in an organisation?

A. Business cannot run without considering the aspirations and expectations of employees. A balance should be maintained between employees’ demand and business needs. CEOs need to directly communicate with the employees with the help of chat sessions, open forums. This can be done by telling the employees that their CEO will be available and without specific agenda anyone can walk in and share. This will help the employees establish a direct contact with the CEO. It can also be done by choosing a volunteer from the middle management who can help to communicate effectively.
