Commenting on the launch of the thirteenth batch of this programme
“Human resources in India is expected to grow by 9.8% this year, adding close to 100,000 jobs for qualified professionals. To meet the growing demand of professionals looking to make a high-growth career in HR, we have designed this programme to help participants advance their people management skills to enhance consumer-oriented business growth strategies,” said Amit Dhiman, professor and programme director, Human Resource Management, IIM Calcutta.
The executive programme in Human Resource Management has an industry-aligned curriculum designed to help learners develop a sophisticated approach to managing talent and would help leverage employees’ potential to meet business priorities. It would also equip participants with a customer-oriented view of managing human resources across acquisition, retention, competency mapping, job evaluation, fit analysis, and HR analytics.
Nimruji Prasad Jammulamadaka, professor and another director, Organisational Behaviour, from IIM Calcutta, said, “Towards the end of the programme, participants will be able to create, manage, and drive empowering strategic HRM initiatives, which will enable their workforce to contribute effectively towards organisational transformation and growth.”
The programme offers an immersive learning experience through its focus on shaping people management practices aligned with contemporary modules on HR in the context of industry 4.0, emerging forms of work such as GIG and WFH, DEI (Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion), and HR analytics. Participants will be adept at handling the micro and macro-level aspects of human resource management to enable their organisation to achieve workforce resilience, business productivity, and competitive advantage.
“The role of HR has evolved manifold in recent times. The role of HR today is not only confined to talent management but also includes bridging employee skillset as per changing business demands, fostering an employee-centric workplace, and ensuring a rise in workforce productivity towards meeting business targets. According to a recent Gartner report (2021), nearly 60% of HR leaders reported that building critical skills and competencies will be their number one priority in 2022. It is thus essential to upskill periodically to keep pace with the increasing business demands and carve a competitive edge. In this context, industry-leading insights from top IIM Calcutta faculty in this one-year programme will help professionals build, drive, and manage innovative HR practices resulting in workforce resilience, transformation, and business growth,” Mohan Kannegal, CEO, India and APAC, Emeritus, said.
