HR Conclave
HR CONCLAVE 2011
The role of employees in today's corporate world is a lot different from yesteryears. It's not mere survival, it's about employee satisfaction, opportunities to excel and ability to pursue professional goals. And who else can better facilitate this other than pulsating HR managers. They are the dream catchers for all who wish to reach that extra edge by every opportunity; they are the thread which runs within the nerve of an association and supply the vitals to make an organization the best place to work. However, work pressure, ever changing global scenarios and the competitive environment makes it difficult for all of us to keep pace with the marathon of achievements and the organizations fall in the vicious circle of attrition. How enticing it would have been if ones job is not just about work, but about anything and everything that one would aspire from his career. After all it is said -In HR conclave 2011 we explore the ideas and strategies that HR professionals from diverse industries would confer and inspire on the subjects like innovative employee engagement, nurturing future leaders and initiating thought leadership, which would further propel the eagerness amongst their colleagues doing justice to a talent and ability well spent.
Great Lakes Institute of Management has taken a strong initiative to tap the learning from the experiences of highly eminent HR leaders belonging to companies from various sectors.
Started in 2008, ‘Great Lakes Human Resource Conclave', is envisioned as a unique platform to bring together the best of HR leaders in the industry and the potentially great managers of the future. The event includes panel discussions and speeches from distinguished speakers pertaining to the central theme of the event.

The last event was organized at our "LEED Platinum-rated Green Campus" on 5th September, 2009.

In these times of economic difficulty, it is perhaps appropriate to ask where we stand on the Human Resources front, with respect to our organizations. While economic profitability and prosperity are by nature cyclical, Human Capital stays with an organization steady right through. In fact, great organizations leverage their Human Capital to overcome the tough times. As is the case with most other functions of business, one of the key challenges for the Human Resource Management fraternity is maintaining strong relationships with their customers i.e. their employees, despite the demanding situation. While some have succeeded, others have struggled. The ones who have met with success are leaders in the true sense of the term. The Great Lakes Human Resource Conclave is an attempt to bring to the fore these leaders and unravel the perceived mystique behind excellent Human Capital Management. Importantly, these speakers would present views and strategies to gear up for the upturn wiping away the negative externalities of the recession. |
