Avoid making the biggest mistake of thinking that collaboration can only happen when everyone is in the same work environment. Companies will need to keep an open mind & rethink what kind of work requires collaboration.

Somya started off her career as a freelancer for 2 years post which she joined N.R. Doshi & Partners as a Human Resources Executive. Currently, she is responsible for end-to-end HR activities, from recruitment to exit formalities, attendance, leave management, and payroll.

In this 30 min conversation, we discuss with Somya about:

  • Emerging business trends that will redefine how we recruit and retain talent 
  • What roles will the new-age workforce and the gig economy play?

  • What tools can ensure a seamless onboarding experience & transition to the work life of fresh graduates?
