HRThe New Marketing Department

3. In case he has to wait, will you not

keep him informed?4. Even if he doesn't buy, you will

send him a thank you note and look

forward to meeting him again?5. You will send him a feedback form

or even give him a feedback call?

6. If he mails you or calls you, you will

promptly reply ?

Now, the main question to be asked

is that are we doing any of these

things with our candidates.

Ajay went for an Interview with a For-

tune 500 banking company. He was

made to wait for three hours at the

reception while nobody attended him

except for an HR Executive, who wasalso missing for the last two hours.

Ajay walked off, swearing never to

apply in that company again.

There are recruitments drives that

happen all the time with IT and ITES

companies, where half the candidates

are sent back without any interaction.

Then there are numerous cases where

candidates are not replied to, or

called multiple times for interactions

for a position and later on offered a

junior role.

Now, imagine a client walking into

your office:

1. Can you make him wait for three

hours at the reception?2. Will you not offer him coffee / tea?

This happens in an era when HCL says

"Employees Come First, Customers

second", Marico has print ADs selling a

career with the company. Every com-pany is focusing on employer brand-

ing.HR team is the first to interact with a

candidate. Very often, a candidate's

decision to join an employer is influ-

enced strongly by his interactions with

HR. Imagine, you could lose a potential

start performer for the company, just

because the sourcing team did not

clarify his doubts on Job Description.

The challenge is that we do not train

our talent management teams as mar-keting professionals. How about train-

ing them on Customer service orienta-

tion, Customer delight, Client engage-

ment and Negotiations?

Amit Tandon,

Alumni, Batch of 2000

many paths available for standardizing across

organizations ? The answers are many and

some of them have validity. For example ,

there is still a strong concern about not be-

ing seen as propagating a single religion and /

or belief system. The very controversy asso-

ciated with religious thought sometimes acts

as a barrier for organizations exploring what

is, to a large extent, still uncharted territory.

e.g. A large IT organization has explicitly

banned professional development courses

form any spiritual organization headed by aspiritual Guru. This greatly reduces the op-

portunities for gaining from the breadth of

such knowledge .

Organizations are also sometimes tied down

by the need to justify such programs in ROI

terms . It is indeed difficult to show a clear

cut ROI on programs such as these. Research

on organizational productivity through adop-

tion of spiritual techniques is inadequate and

these programs are, by their very nature ,

long term and broad based . However, long

term feedback from participants from previ-

ous courses and tracking their effectivenessas individuals can go a long way in assuaging

these concerns . There is also sometimes a

lack of sensitivity to corporate needs on the

part of the spiritual originations who do not

have structured teams with adequate expo-

Are spirituality and management at odds with

each other? Does a spiritual outlook and

method aid or enhance managerial perform-

ance? These are typical questions that come to

mind when we are exploring this confluence. As

a practicing business owner manager and an Art

of Living teacher, I can go so far to say that

bringing spiritual principles into management

are in fact taking management principles to

their greatest height.

Do you require a calm and clear mind for mak-ing effective decisions? Does one require high

energy levels for better management ? Does

taking more responsibility at the individual level

make you a better manager? Do better working

relationships aid in making organizations more

effective? Do lower ego levels demonstrated

too often by powerful managers help or retard

organizations?

The answers to these questions is , in most

cases, obvious . Hence it becomes clear that

inculcation of spiritual values and techniques

which greatly assist in the abovementioned

areas can be of great help in improving organi-zations and taking effectiveness to an entirely

different level.

The question then becomes : why are organiza-

tions still going slow in adopting any of the

sure to the corporate environment . To ad-

dress this issue , Within the Art of Living

movement , we have an APEX program to look

after inculcation of spiritual and human values

for the corporate sector, A Government Ex-

ecutive program for the government area and

a SME program to look after the needs of

Indias huge small and medium sector. There

are special courses structured specifically for

the areas . Delivery is handled by specialist

faculty who have deep understanding of the

needs of these sectors . Other well knownorganizations are moving towards specialized

corporate courses but there is a lot still to be

done .

To sum up , bringing spiritual values into or-

ganisations is of the utmost essence for

across the board performance improvement

in organisations . The growing acceptance of

spirituality in modern society presents a

unique opportunity for business and other

organisations to take advantage of this huge

productivity enhancement technique . Future

leaders will be those who quickly understand

this unique opportunity and take full advan-tage of the same .
