Welcome to the May-June edition of People & Management!

Albert Einstein said, “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” True to this wisdom, business leaders today are redefi ning the way a fast paced wired world is linked to their human variables; driven by emotions and with organisation goals.

One of the major challenges that business leaders are faced with today is how technology could simplify the HR process, and enhance interactivity among employees and leaders. However, a scientifi c approach shows that the data and facts based methods can bring insights of HR fi elds to bear on the practical issues confronting organisation leaders and employees.

However, for HR to become a true decision science, it must do more than just incorporate facts and numbers. Usually, decision science for talent is to be drawn from the vast collection of research about human behaviour at work and how organisations can better compete with talent. On behalf of the organisation, HR managers must represent the quantitative methods and serve as a gateway for employees in various verticals so that they may choose their way to perform, fi le their issues and seek their demands.

Therefore, the future of HR function is to focus on the use of sophisticated techniques and statistical methods to access talent as well as link organisational goals. When HR processes are carefully aligned with powerful and logical frameworks, these may not only track the usefulness of talent policies and practices, but also actually aid the organisation leaders how to use the measurement systems to make decisions.

The May-June issue gives you an insight on how science (scientifi c approach and methods) can help leaders in making decisions on human capital while infl uencing the whole yard. We bring to you the views of HR professionals, management personnel, CEOs and academicians, to provide insights into practised HR tools and processes.

We trust you enjoy this issue on Science of HR, as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

I came across People and Management last year. The following caught my interest:-

(a) The Articles and their content.
(b) The presentation-print and paper
     quality.
(c) Apt layout i.e., the sequencing.

I sent in my subscription straightaway.

Being a person dealing with Corporate HR, the material was firstly reader friendly - makes interesting reading & not very difficult and secondly professionally interesting for application.

The magazine continued getting better with each issue in fact the waiting period for the next issue is rather long - my demand may be taxing on the editorial staff but you can consider making it a monthly magazine.
