Symbinar - Mr. Raghava Avvari

As a part of the live webinar series ‘Symbinar’, SIBMH hosted Mr. Raghava Avvari, Head HR, Fractal Enterprises LLP, who spoke on the topic ‘Future of the Workplace’. 

Mr. Avvari was of the view that the world has become less predictable after the pandemic manifestation. For that reason, he pointed out that organizations now want to create psychological safety for its people, and that ‘skills’ have become the new currency, making geographical locations of employees less important. He said that it's crucial now to stay alert, aware, and connected as far as mobility is concerned, and the world from here on will be in our pockets. 

He mentioned that the greatest challenge is that the workforce will be a mix of five generations, which is a ‘Multi-Generational Workforce’, and to up-skill oneself and work together in synchrony will be challenging for all. 

He also said that organizations have been doing a lot to enable people to work remotely and people’s overall productivity has increased. One reason being mentioned was that they are not monitored at every point like they were in their offices. Mr. Avvari mentioned that compensations too are not being designed as per location and good quality work is being wanted and appreciated. There has been high pressure of doing more with less.

He made the webinar very interactive with the students, by engaging them into a thought- provoking Q&A session and sharing some very insightful ideas with everyone. We look forward to hosting more such informative webinars with our respected guest
