Diaspark's SharePoint Practice Head, Chandrashekhar Vyas would be delivering the enlightening session titled "Information Management – Moving away from Digital Chaos". He quotes that "with the implementation of multiple enterprise applications for better management, businesses also need to do self-assessment – Is their workforce working harder or turned smarter than before? Whether movement of well formatted & bulky digital assets (reports, data, images, audio, communication etc. etc. etc) across persons and/or departments and addition of unidentified tag-notes on top of it via emails, messengers etc. which has become a part of our everyday work life, should be treated as organized or unstructured? And all this comes in the form of tons and tons of information every day in our workspaces. Imagine the time that we spend pushing information into our dumb systems and then double the time seeking and retrieving the same information at the right time.

Are we truly making our workforce equipped with the magic wand – Information System or pushing them from the "Paper Hell to Digital Chaos"? There is an utter need of Effective and Simple Enterprise Information System which retains both organized as well as unstructured information and connects entire workforce with the right information.

Managing Volatility through HR Initiatives

High aspirations or lack of job satisfaction, India has witnessed the maximum number of job changes in the past six months (45%) followed by China (33%) *Source India Today

Shishir Deshmukh, AVP - HR & Recruitment at Diaspark shared his views on ‘Managing Volatility through HR Initiatives’ during a conclave at Sanghvi Institute of Management and Science, Indore (MP) India

Undoubtedly, the acceptable reasons of Volatility have changed over the years. The average job period of a person has decreased from 10-12 years to mere 2-3 years. The reasons are obvious -India’s increasing job market and domestic industry growth, wide range of career options and multinationals making investments in India as a hub of managing their global operations.

Shishir says, ‘Volatility in applied industry is somewhat similar to stages in a product’s life cycle that undergoes launch, growth, maturity and decline. HR needs to manage this element at all the stages with different initiatives considering this stage vis-à-vis business landscape.’ He added that HR needs to use “C” factor efficiently to manage volatility – Communication, Care, Connect and Correction.

Communication is the most powerful tool to keep connected and understand your resources. Care the right and efficient employee via augmenting their knowledge, awarding and recognizing their contribution. The whole system should support to retain the right and efficient candidate. In a highly competitive world inefficiencies should be eliminated by taking appropriate actions.
