PAST NATIONAL PRESIDENT’S EXPERIENCE & VIEWS
For Our Young Professionals And New Entrants To Our Institute
Rapid changes are taking place in the Social, Political and Economic environments which has impact on organization
as well as individuals. In terms of trends, changes were fairly predictable in the past, as they occurred at a slow pace.
At that time clear distinctions existed between different markets and between practices and political systems. Distinction
also existed between work and home, separating those activities that involved earning and living from those that
constituted plain living. Things have changed with change of time. Society always being effected with the change of the
political system.
Whatever assignment given to someone by his employer may appear trivial, but instead of neglecting give your best
effort. One must have the ability to get things done. If you are engaged for any project, take the job very seriously. Human
Resources should try to help the Management to deliver orders on the projected date of delivery.
Do not go by assumption that job will be done, take it seriously. Plan it properly for execution. Execute with appropriate
follow up. Supervise the job allotted to different employees..
What is the duty of a HR Manager? What will he do? It is his duty to guide the Managers and Supervisors for efficient
use of Human Resources. The overall purpose is to contribute to the achievement of high performance. What ‘High
Performance’ indicates? Reaching and exceeding targets for the delivery of products, quality and profits. It, in effect is
aimed to have better understanding about what is to be achieved. Develop the capacity of the people to achieve it at
the same time provide support and guidance to the Human Resources to deliver high performance and achieve their
full potential.
What is the aim of Management? Aim is to see that the under performers come up and fulfil the desired performance
expected, i.e. management wants to achieve the business goals and plans through individual performance.
In such matters the change of work culture is essential. Looking at the performance of individual, management have
to give benefit of performance to the individual and encourage them to evaluate what they are contributing in relation
to what they are getting.
They need to have systematic approach for improving the individual.
What is important for a HR Manager? He must have the capability of to do the performance planning. While doing the
performance planning he has to set the objectives. Define the expectation of the management. He has to set the method
for measuring the performance.
In Indian context such performance planning may not be possible without taking the Union into confidence. It will always
be bargained by the Unions. However, even if the Unions agree to some minimum norm of performance against their
wages it would be advisable to negotiate. It all depends on the machinery and its capacity as well. Education as well
as skill of the workmen need to be assessed before deciding on the norms of the performance planning as well as the
existing idle time.
If Manilla could arrange a WORLD CONGRESS OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT in the year 1944 then why in INDIA
we can not. We have Leadership, we have resources, and I am sure we will get all support from the Government of India
as well as the State Government and Public as well as Private Sector Management.

IT INITIATIVES
There have been substantial improvements in Information Technology activities at NIPM National office in last quarter.
With IT- enabled strategic initiative, the National office team is able to add value to the growth of the Institute and create
a better and smarter image of the Institute.
We were able to keep our focus on our IT plans to build a well designed and structured website for our institute. The
office users are independently managing the new website for any immediate uploads through Content Management
System. The internet facility is augmented with faster Broad Band connection to meet the need. The obsolete single
official email ID - nipm.cal2.vsnl.net.in has been replaced by Private email services using nipm.in domain and we are
able to extend the mail services to all National Council Members, different Committee members, National office staff
and Chapter Heads. We have streamlined the process of Bulk Emails / SMS for upcoming events and renewal of
Membership Fees. For the first time, the National office team has taken up the task of collating every bit of information
and pictures received from National & International networks to launch a colorful & informative e-Newsletter. Reengineering
Students & Examinations Management Software system on latest Technology platform was in our plan. We have initiated
the process of scope finalization and designing for the application.
BOOKS & PUBLICATION
Building a workplace that is satisfying and a go-to haven for its employees is considered a Utopian concept. We come
across many professionals almost every day, who have long narratives on how discontented they are with the kind of
jobs they do and their profiles. This makes us wonder if an organisation can ever meet an employee’s expectations.
Do leaders always fail to align their goals with their subordinates’ aspirations? For those wanting answers to these
questions Match the Age to Keep them Engaged by Mr. Vikas Malhotra is a must-read…
The author is a HR Expert and employs his out-of-the-box thinking and innovative techniques to create unique engagement
interventions, which would irrefutably prove fruitful in any organisational setup, and would be a handy tool for leaders.
He explains the concept of disengagement of employees due to prominent generation gaps, and suggests techniques
to bridge those gaps, which would certainly enable any organisation to foster better employee inter- relationships, thereby
creating an engaged workforce.
If you are looking to go on an engagement drive for your employees, Match the Age to Keep them Engaged is what you
surely need.
