In my 20 years of career


I came across age-old questions, more than 20 thousand times 


What do HR do? Rangoli competition, annual picnic, 


 ➡ Candidates are sourced by placement agencies


 ➡ Interview selections are done by hiring managers not by the recruiter.


 ➡ Payroll is processed by Accounts Department


 ➡ Performance is managed by the Reporting Manager 


Then what do HR do? 🤔 


Even some very thoughtful questions such as 


If Organisation Development (OD) is to improve business processes, then why is OD with HR?


Or even how are various psychometric tests or personal profile tests designed? 


And do they really work, do they give helpful valid-reliable insights?


We will explore world of HR with a new perspective – Human Behaviour 🧘‍♂️ 


A perspective that will help you master anything and everything in HR


Many years ago, the whole world spoke about all managers should have basic knowledge of Finance Management 💰 


Today I feel all managers should be HR managers – to select right person, to get best performance to motivate and retain a team member, to develop talent for next level

Can you predict Human Behaviour? 🤔

The answer is Yes – agree? disagree? ⁉
