Bengaluru: Global capabilities (GCC) in India are in the middle of the “return revolution”. They no longer work for their parent companies as back offices. They appear as centers of excellence – 40% GCC in India actively lead Charters AI for their global organizations.
The data from various sources had almost 2,000 GCC and offered a employment of 1.9 million people in FY24 (significant leap from $ 1.66 million in FY23) and generated revenues worth about $ 24.6 billion (40% increase compared to the previous year). The projections are 100-111 billion in the market size by 2030, with the workforce extending to 2.5 to 2.8 million.
The influx of so highly qualified employees in complex clothing requires a large participation from the department of human resources. The way this difficult task has been the subject of discussion on a recent round table called “Unlock Talent Potential: How HR innovations form the Indian Revolution GCC” organized by Mint, in conjunction with Unext.
A varied cross -section of experts saw GCC, their expanding mandate, and a complex challenge to attract and maintain the highest talent on a competitive market such as India.
“HR is no longer a support function. It is a function that actually drives business,” said Aatash Shah, senior vice president and sales director, Unext Learning. The HR mandate, as they feel, has spread significantly and has now focused on “using the full potential of this talent on scale, across geographies and across functions”.
Acquisitions and maintaining talents
Given that almost 2,000 GCC and traditional IT services are hired from the same talent fund, it requires innovative acquisition and maintaining strategies. The financial incentives themselves are no longer enough.
“Most people look beyond financial and benefits. They need something more meaningful, something more meaningful,” said Seetha Rani KP, leading HR in the Philips innovation campus. Seetha said that Philips experiences a strong sense of purpose because it focuses on an improvement in 2.5 billion lives per year through healthcare innovations, such as ultrasound machines AE-Embedded, which not only help better care for more people, but also increase the socio-economic dynamics of society.
Talent with a high caliber is attracted to roles, where they get the opportunity to solve problems. In addition, some organizations propose complex interview processes to attract top talents.
“Great talent is attracted to problems that are masked to solve. There is a correlation between the complexity of the interview and the ability to attract great talents,” said Mino Thomas, head of talent and global talent head in Adobe Systems India. The organization must focus on traveling employees within the company and how learning is picked up, so employees do not feel the need to look outside.
Organizations must see what employees want. When Hitachi Energy set up his GCC business almost ten years ago, the values of the parent organization in GCC had to be reflected. “Studies of the driver revealed various individual motivations – family, career, money – bringing the need for adapted retention approaches,” said Non -Ahluwalia, Chief Director of Human Resources, India and South Asia in Hitachi Energy.
Transparency in communication of professional trips and work design is essential. There are different types of organizations-úda services, GCC to start-ups. “What does every GCC or society do unique that to live through politicians, processes, systems, we create an advantage for long -term maintenance even on a highly volatile market. It is culture. Diversity, innovations are things that everyone is talking about. If you are able to bring
“It is a difference in job and career offer, which really makes a difference,” added Ipsita Goswami, associated director, human resources and talents transformation, IBM India.
Roll -based training and clear mobility possibilities, including employment rotation, are critical, especially for large organizations. “Learning and development (L&D) plays a very important role in building talents, especially when AI appears. Our constant focus is how we can internally build talent and make sure we will reduce our assembly ratio,” said Vidya Gothe, director L&D, DXC Technology.
Some organizations also accept internal concert programs, allowing employees temporarily to work with other teams to build experience, and even devote a percentage of their time to these projects. This provides formal recognition of their contributions and represents a well -published system for such occasions.
Multi -generation work force
HR policies realize that multi -generation workforce requires holistic talent strategies, these changes adapt quickly. For example, the discussion emphasized the unexpected demand for pet insurance, reflecting the changing priorities of younger workforce.
“Along with educational opportunities, along with growth opportunities, you really give them what they want? I haven’t realized for a very long time that people are looking at home animal insurance,” said Kavita Mehra, head of the General Management in Dell Technologies.
In the AI era, a new skill called “Prompt Engineering” appeared. It’s no longer just about writing code, but “Your ability to evoke with AI to make the tools to become codes. It disappeared from how great you were in writing syntax,” Thomas said.
Remadevi Thotathil, Chro in LatentView Analytics, A young organization where the average age of employees is 28 years old and spoke about the need for faster AI adoption at all levels across generations and stated that they are actively looking for individuals who cause effective challenges, and consider them basic competences for the future resistant organization.
Bridging a gap in learning
In our educational system, especially at graduation level, students receive very wide coverage of what they learn. However, hiring is for specific roles and needs. “In fact, we are a bumper layer between this four -year title and when people actually join organizations where we have the potential to train them on these specific skills,” Shah of Unext said.
With a lot of online courses and certification, finding the right candidate has become a challenging task. “It is a combination of what it causes to do, and you know how they really work when it comes to the competencies we are looking for,” said Anith Venkataraman, business units HR HR, Tata Consultany Services.
Some organizations also appreciate people with multiple certifications, as this could indicate that this person is curious, has learning thinking and is a fraudulent. Strict interview processes, including technical and behavioral evaluation, are essential to actually measure the adaptation of the candidate.
Different companies accept different learning models for their workforce. In Samsung, most hiring occurs from technical campuses. “We are going to the best campuses, hiring in large numbers and we have a strict program internship program,” said Manavi Pathak, Head – Learning and Organizational Development at the Samsung R&D India institute.
The discussion was immersed in another key aspect – the department of human resources is intended to make hiring, but the actual hiring actually performs the line administrator. How organizations can hire innovations and how the dynamics of the line manager can be managed.
Experts said the HR teams sit together with the Managers of Lines for Debriefings and some even on boarding engineers in hiring teams, so they are technically healthy to ask the right questions.
As GCC incomes grow, the strategic HR contribution becomes more life. The imperative is now to exceed HR for facilitating and strategically contribute to the main goals. “HR leaders have to understand what business is going, what the results brings, what keeps the business manager up at night,” said Niranjan Joseph, vice president of HR in Oracle India.
HR teams use from AI help to screen candidates, but it is not a proof process, because AI is not always able to capture the right skills. The interview is the main part of the process.
“Although the skills puzzle is far from being solved, what I saw as one of the best procedures is weight loss skills. We see growing value in identifying the main and small skills, not only expanding the talent fund, but also igniting curiosity, promoting psychological security and constantly learning.
For the future of the organization, they are working on building skills magazines that make up future skills that would be needed several years after the workforce. This is what will be powered by a talent fund for Indian GCC.
