The real challenge for HR in an organisatio
n is to be able to establish its credibility, ensuring that its internal customers observe significant value in their contribution to the organisation. In a tête-à-tête with Sugato Palit, Head-HR, at Perfetti Van Melle India, B&E finds out how PVMI is dealing with the ‘people challenges’ so that they become a ‘partner to the business’. Palit is of the opinion that in any organisation, people are perhaps the only ‘asset’ that ‘appreciates with time’. Little wonder that Perfetti has in place many approaches to access talent and get the right candidate on board. Besides the usual method of visiting campuses, Perfetti emphasises on two other critical processes, which work very well for the Italian confectionery major. One is the process of ‘Employee Referrals’, which works wonderfully, given that if an employee knows the organization well, then evidently s/he will be able to judge correctly the type of person who will fit into the organisation’s culture. The second method is that of Internal Job Posting (IJP), which strives to fill vacancy internally.
