People, Performance and Possibilities

Course Objective

Effective organizations are realizing that an organization’s success depends on the critical human element “people”. Great organizations impact the future possibilities of society through nurturing the creative potential of employees and empowering them to realize their dreams and aspirations in order to build a better world.

Thus, understanding “people management” from the perspective of future possibilities for employees, customers and society requires a paradigm shift in understanding the role of organizations in society in the 21st century and aligning their business strategies with people philosophy, policies, programmes, processes and practices in organizations.
