The afternoon at the college campus witnessed a highly interactive session with Mr. Himanshu Arora, the guest speaker; for he engaged in an interesting way by involving the FIIB-ians at periodic levels to do some exercise. By doing so he shed light on the importance of Human Capital in organizations and highlighted the need to focus more on internal buying. Example of Jack Welch, former CEO of GE, and that he dwelt more in boosting the morale of GE employees thereby leading to a splendid enhancement in employee efficiency levels, well suited the session’s discussion. The lecture was finely blended with the stimulating scenarios from organizations that accentuated the inevitability of competency mapping in everyday corporate life. He emphasized that competency mapping is the central to Human Resource and it drives the other HR areas such as Recruitment, Compensation, Training and Development, Career Planning, Performance Appraisal, Succession Planning/Replacement Planning, etc. It serves as the base for all HR Applications in an organization. Towards the end of the Session, grads cleared their doubts and sought knowledge on the required skillsets for competency mapping career goals. To conclude the session, Vote of Thanks was rendered to the Guest Speaker. The lecture proved to be very inspiring and informative as the college students were bestowed with knowledge about the organizational needs.
