“Human-centric approach in HR is about recognising that employees are not just resources, but they are the core drivers of organisation success,” said Soomro, imploring leaders to focus on employees well-being and personal development and ensure they are fostering a diverse and inclusive environment within their workplace.
Addressing the influence of rapid technological advancements, particularly in AI and generative tools, he said, “How do we embrace AI as a tool? How do we understand the capabilities and limitations of different AI generative tools? It requires a balance between harnessing the potential of AI and maintaining the human elements.”
There’s a plethora of data backing the idea that a diverse team is a strong team and Soomra believes the future of work will celebrate this idea.
“Diversity in recruitment and hiring helps big time. Finding small examples of diversity in organisations and creating a celebration out of it helps big time,” he said.
