A session at VJIM Hyderabad with Ms. Vijay Lakshmi, Head, L & D, Nspira Management Services and Mr. Phani Kumar, Manager HR, Kogentix on the importance of HR in any organization

“Things can be managed but a true manager is someone who knows how to manage people,” said Ms. Vijay Lakshmi, Head L & D, Nspira Management Services at a latest seminar at Vignana Jyothi Institute of Management, Hyderabad which was around the topic- "Role of HR in Organisational Citizenship Behavior (OCB).

Hosted for the PGDM students of the school by the HR Committee, this 20^th August seminar also had Mr. Phani Kumar, Manager, HR, Kogentix interacting with the students and taking their questions.

Ms. Lakshmi explained how the role of an HR has come a long way in India and how it is evolving every single day. “It isn’t easy to handle the Human Resource of a company because managing people is the toughest job ever in the field of management, and the expectation of the organization on HR is high because now a days people not only want smart TV and mobile but also smart employees,” exclaimed Ms. Lakshmi. 

The OCB interaction touched topics like-

a. Organizational Citizenship Behavior

b. Importance of HR in developing OCB

c. Understanding the impact of effectiveness of OCB in organizations

Organizational Citizenship Behavior is something an individual plays independently within an organization and unless you are trained in it or attentive towards it, you will not contribute to the overall growth of the organization. To define it in simpler ways, OCB is a person's voluntary commitment within an organization or company that is not part of his or her contractual tasks.

Mr. Kumar simplified it for the students further by explaining how one can achieve OCB by following the below listed factors:

·         Altruism – quality of unselfish concern of others

·         Courtesy – polite behavior

·         Sportsmanship – fairness in following rules

·         Conscientiousness – reasonable level of self-control

·         Civic sense how well a person represents an organization

“Anybody can perform well in work allotted to him/her, but a true employee is he who goes an extra mile to perform extraordinarily,” said Manager, HR, Kogentix in his speech. “He’s the successful employee and organization needs such people,” Mr Kumar added further.

The first thing that students should consider is the type of management program they intend to pursue.

In addition, while the MBA programs are recognized by UGC, the diploma courses are recognized by AICTE.

Specialization Or General

Having decided about the type of management program, the aspiring students should consider whether they want to pursue a general course or opt for specialization in a specific niche.  Most top colleges in Hyderabad will offer both general and specialized management programs although they might limit the choice of specializations being offered. However, some top ranked institutes offer only a general management program. For example VJIM, which is considered to be one of the best management collegesin Hyderabad, offers a world class post graduate diploma course without any specialization, but which is known to open great career opportunities for the students.

On or Off Campus

Another important thing to consider while selecting a management college in Hyderabad is whether the students want to pursue the course on campus or off campus. In case, the students cannot attend regular classes at the institute they might opt for an of campus program, if the college offers the same. However, not many good management institutes might provide this option, which is why the aspiring students should seek detailed information about this aspect while short-listing the institutes of their choice.

Industry Accreditation of Curriculum

The constantly changing business needs require the management colleges to update their curriculum every few years. However, many top institutes wait for the curriculum to be accredited by the AICTE before implementing it while there are others that keep updating their course to ensure that it is always at par with the current industry standards. These institutes give greater importance to  industry accreditation of their curriculum so that their students do not face any difficulty in meeting their job expectations.

Infrastructure And Other Facilities

The infrastructure and other facilities offered by an institute should also be taken into consideration as they play a vital role in ensuring a better learning experience for the students. That is why most top ranking institutes spend a large part of their budget on establishing proper infrastructure and providing the best learning facilities for students. A well developed infrastructure also offers great support to the faculty to help impart better training.
