WOMEN ACHIEVER IN HR
I lead HR for Gera Developments Pvt. Ltd. (GDPL) and I’m in charge of the end-to-end people life cycle in the business. Of my 19+ year career, the last 6 months have been in the current role of Chief People Officer, Gera Developments. We have embarked on identifying skills and competencies that the organization will need to grow in scale and have built a framework to assess where we are currently and where we want to reach. We are working extensively to bring high levels of collaboration in the organization through Focus Group Discussions which will help in removing the bottlenecks and support in accelerating delivery across cross-functional team. We have also put together a 3-year journey for our organization to be a Learning Organisation I started my career in a Bank, moved to the petroleum sector (Shell) where I was in Operations, Sales and Marketing and my journey in HR begin in GERA Developments. I have been in Learning & Development, Talent Management & OD and Generalist HR roles in my career spanning 19+ years and have had the opportunity to work with some start-ups to set up the entire HR Function. I have played an active role in integrating differently abled colleagues into the business during my stint in Tata Retail Enterprise (Hypermarket division – JV of Tata and Tesco Enterprise). From experiencing resistance to having differently abled colleagues in the business to having 10% of our workforce being differently abled, we got every stakeholder on board, aligning our infrastructure and redoing our policies to enable this change. At Tata Group I also co-created a programme to provide second careers to women. We were able to create a programme involving the women, their managers and the entire ecosystem to help them when they are on 6 months maternity leave and help them seamlessly transition post their maternity period.
