New Delhi, January 22, 2017: The economy and industrial segments are undergoing the fourth revolution – and this one is led by technology. In simple terms, it means that all known processes and tasks are being redefined, mostly due to technical intervention and digital interpretation of functions. With the work world undergoing so much transformation, its custodian – the human resources function too is undergoing a rapid metamorphosis.

The HR professional required in today’s world should be a tech savvy individual with an industry-wide know how and global outlook. Since most industries change HR plans in accordance with their business scenarios, the HR personal should be armed with analytical skills and business-linked thinking to take critical decisions based on data available.

Sensing this rapid change in the HR role, TimesJobs – India’s largest recruitment site – announced the launch of a learning and networking platform for HR professionals who want to take a career leap in the coming times. Aptly named, the Times Academy of HR Excellence (TAHE), this website-based platform aims to be the next-generation social networking and online community of HR professionals and students.

Announcing the launch of TAHE, Ramathreya Krishnamurthi, Business Head - TimesJobs & TechGig explained, “In today’s tech savvy world, professionals who have an apt knowledge of digital tools and a sense of aligning these with the given goals, win hands down. While IT/ITeS and other industries adopted these transformations very early on, the HR function is catching up on these now. I strongly believe that Times Academy of HR Excellence (TAHE) will provide ace peer-to-peer networking and professional learning opportunities to Indian HR professionals and make them well rounded human resources leaders of tomorrow”.

The TAHE website (hyperlink http://www.timeshrx.com) is free for registration to all. The HR professionals and students can easily register on the site by submitting their basic details or by using their social handles. TAHE aims to ease and facilitate the knowledge sharing between HR professionals at all levels. This website aims to be the definitive professional connect among human resource professionals, students and influencers. Its ecosystem curates interesting articles, thought-provoking discussions and engagement opportunities aimed to enhance the skills of its users.

TimesJobs month-on-month hiring report RecruiteX recently reported that in December 2017, human resources professionals were most in-demand (in given month) with 5% spike in talent demand as compared to  November 2017. This indicates that companies are hiring aggressively for the HR roles, but are these professionals ready to deal with different generations of workforce with multifarious demands from employers and organisations? Hence the need to be updated with the latest trends, discussions and community sharing of domain knowledge.

Times Academy of HR Excellence (TAHE) presents all these opportunities, that too on one platform. It is also an opportunity to participate aggressively in domain-centric community interactions and learn and share with the best in the HR fraternity.
