includes hiring students just out of college but also ensuring
that they have an environment to thrive on and achieve their
dreams, every day, She, needs a way to ensure that the
transition from school to work is productive to both
employees and employers
Ideas I like the most
• Set up an “Incubation” Program
– I would like to address the smooth transition from
student life to work like by this program which will
include the following elements
• Mentorship – help with Do’s and Don’ts
• Develop Job skill matrix and conduct Deep dive Training
• Celebrate Success
• Inculcate Cultural Pillars
• Help with periodic Counseling
• Skill Mapping for base skills
• Recommend Design thinking class for every employee.
Ideas I like the most
• Reform Recruitment process
– Leaders need to spend time in recruitment for a
business as their insights and intuition will help
identify great talent
– Recruiters need to be cognizant of business
challenges so that they can identify great talent.
Ideas I like the most
• Train With the best
– As is evident during this course of this
course, training with the best has significant
advantages and can make a spectacular
difference , other things being equal.
