Coimbatore : Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Coimbatore Zone organized the 12th Edition of HR Conclave recently, themed 'ERA 4.0: Employee Relation and Analytics'.
The conclave focused on the broad parameters of HR Analytics in manufacturing and non-manufacturing, as well as discussed on the recent IR practices and challenges forward.
While delivering the Special Address, R. Varadarajan, Chairman, CII, Coimbatore Zone said that Technology has become an integral part of every aspect of business, including the human resources function. As we come to depend on metrics, the use of technology increases and brings with it a fear of intrusion into the privacy of the individual. When organisations create processes for their business operations, they tend to measure it on the efficiency they achieve internally and therefore miss out on customer needs. It is important that organisations create business processes which are always customer centric".
