The changing nature of HR and L&D #PhilipsHRTalks

Today we had the 4th edition of #PhilipsHRTalks at Gurgaon at the Philips office today. Both our speakers were from Mumbai. We had Vivek Paranjpe, Advisor to Reliance Industries and Kavi Arasu, head of Learning at Asian Paints talk about the evolving nature of HR and the learning function.

Here are the tweets from the session. The videos would soon be uploaded here.

The NHRDN August newsletter focused on "Social Media for HR"

The CHRO of Mphasis, R Elango reached out to me and said that he had been asked by the National HRD Network to be the guest author of their August journal which was to be focused on Social Media for Human Resources. Elango said he wanted me to co-edit the issue - and I was pleased to do so :)

So here's the journal issue (you can download it for free too :) with three contributions by me. A "Social Media for HR 101", an article on Social Learning with my Philips colleague Andrew Lax and a review of Social Tech vendors in the HR space in India. The article also has articles by Yashwant Mahadik of Philips, Kavi Arasu of Asian Paints, Sunder Ramachandran of Jardine Lloyd Thomson, Tanvi Gautam , Syeda Mehar Taj of Infosys, Irfan Abdulla of LinkedIn amongst others

What is Are You In The List?

A People Matters initiative in association with DDI, which presents a platform for emerging HR managers to showcase their potential and get recognized as the ‘Future 25’ HR Leaders. If you are a young HR leader or aspire to be one, and fall in the age group of 26-35 years, here’s your chance once again! India’s first initiative to identify India’s HR leaders in the making is back with yet another intense qualifying application process, with a series of assessments and a competitive race to find today’s emerging leaders in HR. Are you in the List? is a platform for young HR managers to get recognized for their talent and potential. If you have it in you and want to better yourself, compete to be amongst the chosen ‘Future 25’ HR Leaders in India!

So a couple of weeks ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find that newspaper Daily News and Analysis tweeted out that people should follow me - and was more flattered to see myself on their list later on the website: Indians You Should Follow On Twitter

The list is quite eclectic and covers some of my favorites - Sree, SahilRiz. Check out the others too :)

Oh, and a huge shout out to Karthik Srinivasan aka @beastoftraal for winning the Indian Blogger Awards in the Business category. Oh and today he's got a post on Social Recruiting - check it out here
