It is a no-brainer that HR needs to be aligned with business; however a recent survey on HR transformation in the IT sector, conducted by Randstad Technologies reveals a startling insight. Out of 56% of the HR leaders from the IT sector in India who mention that HR is fully aligned with their organization's vision and strategy, only 29% thought that they own a place at the table and are accorded the status of 'strategic partners'.
Moorthy K. Uppaluri, MD & CEO, Randstad India said, "The IT sector, one of the largest employers of the country, is a significant contributor to the GDP. It continues to be a critical driver for the knowledge-driven Indian economy, where the dependence and cost of the 'people' component has significantly increased".
