IIT Kanpur and Ministry of External Affairs, India organized Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme Training Course on “Strategic HRM for Organizational Excellence” to sensitize participants about potential of HRM (Human Resource Management) as a game changer in today’s uncertain work environment. It helps them distinguish the strategic approach to human resources from the traditional ritualistic one. HRM can go beyond the traditional passive/reactive role and lead the organization’s journey toward sustainable growth. It happens when HRM is consciously linked to organization’s long term strategic vision and assumes a leadership position. Apart from theoretical framework, the course offers practical insights into how strategic HRM policies can be executed at the grass root level through hands-on exercises involving case studies, reading material, web-resources and presentations. The course is being coordinated by Prof. Amit Shukla, Department of Management Sciences, IIT Kanpur.
