Episode Highlights
1) The Hiring Practices in the Automotive Sector
The whole automobile industry is changing. There has been a significant difference between pre- and post-Covid era hiring practices. We need to hire people who can adapt to the dynamic needs of the industry. Employees should have the right skill set to manage technological requirements and customer demands.
2) How Companies should Frame their Hiring Policies to Align with the Changing Dynamics?
The right talent and technological knowledge are a couple of challenges that the automobile sector was facing even in pre-Covid era. The automobile sector needs different categories of employees.
We need to show them career prospects. Companies require the best talent to align with the changing dynamics.
Employees have to adapt according to the internal and external environment. The need of the hour is the right set of people with the right set of skills.
3) Ways to Assess Organizational Fit
A company is nothing without its people. Organisations should focus on three prominent aspects to hire and assess candidates: cultural fitness, behavioural skills and tech skills.
4) Practices to Improve Business Processes & Boost Employee Retention
Five dimensions to improve business processes are credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and trust. Companies need to focus on transparency, open communication, and higher employee participation. There should be liberty to express ideas and grievances.
Companies can employ soft-skill training, mentorship programs, budding programs etc. to boost retention and upskilling.
5) Secrets of Successful Change Implementation
Three pillars of an organisation are CEO, CFO, and CHRO. They need to work together for the successful implementation of desired changes.
