What's your People Philosophy?????

Ask the above question to 10 different HR associates of a company and most likely you will recieve 10 different answers or in the worst case they might repeat the question along with a blank face as their reply.

If the company concerned in the above paragraph is a respected employer then your HR team needs to re-think about why they are respected as one of the best employers in the country. The answer to that question would help them to frame the people philosphy. However; it does not end there as the HR team and every other stakeholder must be made aware of your core people philosophy in the same light as your Vision,Mission and Values.

Now incase your company is not in the list of the respected employers then you know exactly 'why'?????

I have a belief that only a company which has a strong people philosophy can design and deliver it's HR practices in a fair and just manner .

Any good employer would certainly have a clearly defined people philosophy or atleast it would believe in a people philosophy sub-consciously.

Your company's people philosophy would help you to allign your company's culture with the core Vision,Mission and Values as it's the people who have the real 'ownership' to reach your company's vision.

Next time you find a person complaining about your statement being highly philosophical; let him read this post. It might help!!!!!!
