On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, our guest is Anshuman Das, HR Business Partner at Piramal Capital & Housing Finance.With over four years of experience working as an HRBP and having worked at companies like Axis Bank and Reliance Jio,  Anshuman has plenty of expertise to share in this conversation.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:The personalized onboarding process for the new hiresHow to avoid a bad hireHis thoughts on Psychometric tests Practical performance appraisal methods for the modern workforce  Going beyond Quantitative performance reviewsPositives and negatives of the remote workforce and virtual collaborationPersonalizing experience by people managers:According to Anshuman, personalizing experience is how people managers should focus on giving a good onboarding experience to the employees. Unless they make the entire employee experience enriching, customers will not be satisfied too as it affects their performance. New joiners are confused while entering the company for the first time. Companies need to consider them as their ambassadors and help them. What impact does a bad hire have on the functioning of the company?HR professionals are also humans and they cannot totally ensure that a candidate would be a 100% fit for the company. But they need to try their best to avoid bad hires. There are two types of loss a company faces due to a bad hire- qualitative and quantitative.Qualitative loss includes the environment of disengagement that the other employees would work in. They will have a burden of extra tasks on them.Quantitative loss includes the monetary expenses and the time wasted.Anshuman explains ways to avoid making such hires with the new processes and analytics taking place. However, Anshuman does not believe in the need for psychometric tests.Impact of tech in the recruitment process:Tech advancements in the recruiting process is a real good addition. It allows easy screening through profiles rather than CVs on paper.In addition, it really helps see the personality of a candidate and makes it faster and efficient.Effective performance management:According to Anshuman, not every performance is measurable. They cannot be added to the rating system. However, performance management can be seen in a learning perspective. Apart from that, the entire process is a tool to help employees and the employers understand what they lack and how to train them. It becomes the process of turning them from an average performer to the best employee. Talent management programs, training, projects, can help develop them into a leadership role.The impact of remote work:Remote working has both its pros and cons. Things are setting up in a remote working setup.  People get an efficient work-life balance, freedom, and flexibility while working from home.Even though it is missing 1v1 interactions are still better but they do help by giving more time. Engagement and understanding depends on where people are more comfortable. It also helps companies in saving costs. Before going back to the normal way of work, companies should follow a slow transition. They should give time to employees and make them understand the difference.Follow Anshuman on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Junius DsilvaBONUS: Performance reviews helps employees to grow and improve themselves.
