Sir Richard Branson, the Founder of the Virgin Group has famously said, “Train people well enough so they can leave. Treat them well enough so they don’t have to.”
This prudent advice was given by Sir Branson showcases a keen understanding of human capital while encapsulating the essence of the HR function; skilling & upskilling the workforce and building employee-first policies where employees feel valued.
The HR leader’s role in today’s business scenario is no simple feat. HR leaders have their hands full with a plethora of critical responsibilities, right from recruiting, training, upskilling, work policy and setting the general work environment.
