Enabling over Managing People Matter

Organisation culture is defined by how one enables its Human Resource to perform better. Human beings are anatomically similar and related to the great apes but are distinguished by a more highly developed brain and a resultant capacity for articulate speech and abstract reasoning.
Thus, it is imperative to understand that we do not have to manage human resources but enable them. We are in a world of Human Resource Enablement.

The process of enabling humans to perform the best begins from the time they walk in for an interview - Right from the aroma of the workplace or office, to offering water and helping them relax, thanking them for coming and excitedly talking about the vision of the organisation and subsequently the need for the role you are interviewing for before you start asking questions.

Enabling your people with the culture that encourages team work, commitment and passion coupled with resources like automation, analytics and training not only helps increase productivity but also plays an extremely significant role in retaining your teams.

As a Human Resource Enabler one needs to drive top-down the importance of creating workspaces that smells good or is aromatic which in turn helps in calming the mind, increasing productivity, relaxes the environment and helps think creatively. Remember to pick up the right scent.

Talk to your teams regularly and check on how you could enable them to perform better, effectively & efficiently.

Train them on soft skills, especially on emotional intelligence to make your organisation - a place that cares! And once you take care of your employees, they’ll take care of your business.

So, dear enablers - smell your coffee and empower your teams.
