Jamshedpur, Aug. 26: The XLRI School of Business and Human Resources has become a model institute in human resource training not only in India but also in other nations.
Accenture, which teamed up with XLRI for a human resource academy in Bangalore, has now set its eyes on Philippines and China, where it plans similar institutes. The training course designed by XLRI would be adopted in these countries.
After the success of Accenture XLRI HR Academy, the multinational company has thought of introdu- cing the same module in these countries. This would help the trainees acquire special skills in human capital management in the field of information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO).
The academy, which was established in 2005, has 15 modules and the XLRI School of Business and Human Resources faculties have designed the 24-month course. This will now be taken to foreign shores to make Accenture officials in these places more competent.
“It took a year for us to design the programme. The module was designed in such a way that it will help trainees to specialise in the concerned fields. Therefore, we have 15 modules covering topics such as training and development, career and performance management, rewards and compensation, organisational behaviour as well as financial and le- gal aspects of human resources,” said Madhukar Shukla, a professor of organisational behaviour and strategic management at the the XLRI School of Business and Human Resources. He is one of the course of human resource training.
“I am happy that what we designed would now be a considered as a benchmark for education in the particular field in other countries,” said Shukla.
Some small changes will be made in the module according to the labour needs of the countries.
The training course, running for three years, has been successful in providing some of the best human resou- rce professionals to the company.
The multinational company would now tie up with business schools in the two countries to provide specialised training to the professionals.
