The corporate road to success begins at the campus Building Constructive Communication		Dr. Shweta Kushal, Assistant Professor, IIM Indore MVN Rao, Head - Corporate Learning and Development (CLO),Larsen & Toubro Limited Sushil Barkur, Associate Vice President – L & D, TM & OD ,AAlkem Laboratories Ltd Ratnesh Jha, CEO , Burlington Group South East Asia & India	In the world, there is only one way to translate ideas to reality & dreams to success: To communicate effectively. Organizations have long understood the benefits of recruiting on college and university campuses as a way to attract the best and the brightest. Historically, employers developed relationships with schools as a way to source niche talent or fill a general pipeline of interns and entry-level hires To top the challenge, in the past few years, India has witnessed an ever-increasing employability gap. India Skills Report 2022 by a well-known assessment firm, says only 48.7% of total youth in India is employable! Corporate recruiters from around the world continue to list communication and interpersonal competencies as top skills employers seek. Whether it be with your manager, new team member, customer or vendor, clarity in communication is a much-desired skillset indispensable for personal growth and success. And though it may sound basic, many individuals, educational institutes and business leaders neglect this vital skillset, which can derail them from the path of success. While at one end we are talking about this employability gap and the other we are constantly hearing the buzz about future ready talent. Campus and Corporate are often seen as two different realms that operate on different platforms with different purposes and ideologies. However, in dynamic times as these, there is a need that these two different worlds come together under one umbrella to address and tackle some real-world issues and challenges.	Webinar	July 07, 2022

Reducing Bias and improving Workplace Diversity through Objective Hiring		Lakshmanan M, CHRO , L&T Technology services limited Sri Harsha, Chief Technology Officer, X0PA Saurabh Shah, Head HR, Capita Tina Rastogi, VP-Human Capital Management, Cybage Software	Unless one has renounced this social world, one clearly knows the importance of diversity in the workplace. It's much beyond a trend or a workplace ratio to fulfil. Its indeed a social responsibility to embrace diversity and be inclusive in the workplace. A diverse mix of voices leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone. It's a pathway that every corporate needs to walk along to bring better prospects and productivity. Businesses often pride themselves on their diversity initiatives in the workplace, but the hidden danger of recruiting bias means limits candidate options during the hiring process. Maybe you don’t even know you’re doing it, but everyone has internal biases, whether consciously or unconsciously. Here, technology has come to the rescue and is successfully helping eliminate any discrimination. It builds objectivity in the hiring process, giving an equal and fair opportunity to both the employers and employees. 2 Join us as we hear from the experts on how technology is supporting in creating aspirational workforces for the future.

A recent study of Indian IT professionals revealed that organizations that provide employees with flexible work arrangements see greater levels of engagement & are less likely than others to experience burnout. Also, different types of people benefit from different working environments. While some enjoy to work free from distraction, others crave for dynamic spaces to interact and collaborate.

With remote working becoming a norm, employees are already feeling the pressure of long working hours from the confines of their respective workspaces. Those concomitant zoom and teams call, and long sitting hours are leaving less space to focus on personal health and if there is one thing which professionals and organisations around the world have recognised is the need for preventive healthcare at workplaces. Rapid digitisation has led to advent of teleconsultation & telemedicine which as per our MoS has the potential to save 5bn$ annually for India while ensuring timely, cost-effective and quick access to consultations. Total Wellbeing is no longer a line item, but a defining policy measure and a clear determinant in shaping Organisations as talent magnets. This has led to a growing realisation and importance of not just offering preventive healthcare measures to employees but also empowering them through tech innovations happening in healthcare.

Creating a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion Through Digital Coaching		Naila Abdul Karim, Senior Behavioral Scientist,CoachHub	We live in an increasingly connected and globalized world. Technology has played a huge part in enabling this global connection through social networks, digital tools and workspaces, and increased automation as well as bringing people much closer. Beyond everyday life, globalization and technology have also changed our workplaces resulting in more diverse teams in terms of age, experience, gender, ethnicity, physical and neurological abilities, culture, religious beliefs and functional background, than ever before. South East Asia (SEA) is said to have more than 100 ethnic groups and 655 million people who speak over 1,000 languages and dialects (Think with Google, 2021). Making it one of the most diverse regions in the world. Unfortunately, what gets lost in translation is the region’s significant hidden diversity. In a study done, it was found that 57% of employees in SEA would leave a company to move to a one with a more inclusive work culture. Not only is diversity and inclusion helping retain talent but also 71% of consumers are more likely to buy a product that aligns with their values (BCG, 2020). Therefore, it's crucial to understand what has been stopping organizations and teams from embracing diversity and inclusiveness as well as what can help overcome such barriers.
