Guest talk by Himra Mursil on Talent Management
Ms Himra Mursil is
currently working as a General Manager Human Resources at BASF. She worked at different Multinational Corporations, like GSK
and Unilever with the best of her experience and achieved great success at
multiple levels.
Her Session in
our class was about Talent Management where she explained on how to coach,
mentor and its importance, she said that HR personnel had to get at fore front
and work accordingly,
According to her
Talent Management comprises of 3 steps which are as follows
1. Attract
2. Retain
3. Develop
Attraction
according to her can be done through social media websites LinkedIn where one
have to keep update his profile in well mannered form, once one is hired he
needs to get molded according to organization culture, on boarding is of utmost
requirement.
Development
stage leads to planning the training need analysis, on job training is done and
off site training is done. She also explained that 70% of learning is done when
one is on job and is experimenting the process/work. 20% is done through
creating relationships, mentoring and coaching about skills and 10% is done
through classroom training because its difficult to retain that knowledge for
long term perspective.
Retaining
procedure consist of steps to sustain the employee for long term and reduce
turn over rate, it can be done through giving international exposure,
empowerment, check inbound and out bound of employees, job rotation can also be
done.
She also gave
some valuable propositions for a successful organization which were connecting,
engaging, caring and through succession planning within Co-workers. According
to her an HR personnel need to know finance, marketing, sales and every other
thing because if you are bad at this you can’t be HR person.
She discussed
the performance of Pakistan in context to the session’s topic i.e Talent
Management and according to her it is difficult to find the talent in Pakistan,
and they can not start the work unless employee hired are trained, furthermore
compliance is so strict that code of conduct can’t be changed, need a lot of
time to hire best talented person for the required vacancy, sometimes whole
market is exhausted but still unable to find required talent.
Cost Efficiency
is another challenge faced because every employee can not afford the facility
since have to come up with different innovative ideas.
Development need
is absent which can be done through outsourcing and training.
Delegation
programs are lacking which can be initiated keeping employee engaged, make
policies, give rewards and recognition monetary or non monetary.
She ended up the
session by saying:
“ Sometimes
there is a need to take risks, don’t get scared of change, adapt the change,
you need to be flexible rather being rigid ”
Amazing session.learned alot about hrm and proffesional work
ReplyDelete“It’s difficult to find talent but once it’s found you can achieve your goals and nobody can pull you behind. All we have to do is seek and manage the right talent within us”. This is I believe summarizes the whole guest talk by Miss Himra Mursil.
ReplyDeleteShe explained us the Talent Management with respect to an organization. According to her, an organization basic motto is to hire a right person for the right position. This could be done if the company spends there quality time in recruiting that right person. Once an organization hires right person, they can give them a boost and if not done properly then it could cause a great lose to the company.
If the talent of the employee is managed properly then it could increase the sustainability of the employees in the organization. This managing includes attracting the right talent of the employee and not only this but also retaining that talent and developing it.
Furthermore, she said that the main asset of the organization is there Employee. They can rather make the organization or break it.
Lastly, Miss Himra was truly an amazing personality. The way she was delivering her lecture clearly shows her grip in her field. We can say that she actually showed us a live example of having a right person in the right position. I’m very grateful to her for giving us time and teaching us.
