Talking about Career Shifts with Gopal A Iyer Gopal is a powerhouse with 20+ years of experience in the HR domain. Recently, he shifted gears and took on the role of COO at a consulting firm. We spoke at length about the need for professionals to explore more career opportunities than the path they have always followed. We both agreed that entrepreneurship is a path that more and more people should consider taking. There's clearly a slow down in hiring in most knowledge sectors, owing to multiple reasons, including - elections in India and US, global economic uncertainty, advent of AI and much more. I showed him how we help organizations to improve employee engagement by leveraging on the power of corporate gifts and merch. He recently started a podcast called Career Shifts and interviewed Prabir Jha on his first episode. Gopal - big thanks for visiting our OffiNeeds.com operations centre. I loved showing you around and learnt a lot from our conversation. It's always exciting to meet a LinkedIn connect whom you admire a lot, in-person. Did you meet up with a LinkedIn connect recently? Tag that person and let me know how your experience was... #networking #employeeengagement #brandbuilding #corporategifts

Additionally, 92% believe that role-based long-duration structured training programs are more effective than many tactical training interventions being done by many organizations. Sales teams are facing significant challenges, including stress, lack of support, and unrealistic expectations. It is critical for sales leaders as well as the L&D teams to understand these issues and implement strategies to support their sales teams effectively. I hope that insights from our newly launched 'GRAND Sales & Workplace Report' provides organizations with insight into how they can strengthen sales teams and set themselves up for success.

Talent mapping facilitates meaningful conversations about career progression, helping to retain top talent and boost morale. 5 Strategic Recruitment: With talent mapping, you can proactively identify talent pools to tap into when #recruiting for #criticalroles.

Salaried employees' finances are getting squeezed due to direct , indirect taxes, rising healthcare costs(India has one of the highest medical inflation rates in Asia). 😮 On top of this , they incur expenses for OPD treatments like general physician consultation, dental consults , pediatrician, gynecology etc. Medicines, lab tests are expensive too. 🙄 It's heartening to see that organizations/HR leaders are acknowledging that this is a key pain area for employees and are introducing OPD benefits along with the standard health cover. Kudos to you folks 👍 #employeewellbeing #employeebenefits #HR #HRinitiatives #salariedemployees

Innovartan Learning raises Rs 5 Cr in pre-seed round: Edtech startup Innovartan Learning Solutions has raised Rs 5 crore in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Gokul Rajaram and Amit Singhal. The funds will be used to bridge the gap between school education and competitive exam preparation, empowering schools to become self-sufficient centers of academic excellence, Innovartan Learning stated in a press release. Founded in 2023 by Prashant Sharma, Innovartan Learning addresses the fragmented system where students attend school for board exams while relying on coaching classes for competitive exams. By equipping schools with the necessary tools and expertise, Innovartan enables the seamless integration of competitive exam preparation into school curriculums. This approach enhances student outcomes without the need for separate coaching, while also strengthening schools' capacity to meet diverse academic needs. Based in Noida, the company aims to empower schools to prepare students for competitive exams directly. This reduces financial strain on families and prevents the disruptive migration of students to coaching-centric cities, allowing them to thrive in their local communities. Through Innovartan Learning, schools can offer comprehensive education under one roof, ensuring that students can stay close to their families, learn in familiar environments, and focus on their growth without the distractions and pressures of external coaching. #startupnews #startups #fundingnews
