Akanksha's Inspiring HR Journey

Few stories in the HR industry are as inspiring as Akansha’s. Currently spearheading the HR department at JAES, Akansha has ensured that every voice in her organization is heard, and every accomplishment celebrated. Akansha’s decade-long career is a testament to the transformative power of HR for delivering a world-class workplace. 
 

Empowering the Blue-Collar Workforce

JAES has a 1200-strong semi-skilled staff. Akansha recognized that while most conventional HR initiatives targeted the corporate staff, these unsung heroes often felt distant from the organization. Akansha embarked on a mission to elevate the self-esteem of JAES’ semi-skilled workforce and instill a sense of belonging within them. Her philosophy was simple: first, become a better human being. With a position that allowed her to utilize her skills to foster a collaborative environment, she undertook several HR initiatives to enhance the prosperity of all employee sections within her organization.

Recognition and Appreciation: A Game Changer 

Akansha’s journey took employee recognition at JAES to a whole new level. She believed that appreciation and acknowledgment should extend to everyone, regardless of their role within the company. To achieve this, she leveraged innovative features, such as HROne badges. She ensured employee achievements were visible on an enterprise-wide social media platform. Akansha also understood the importance of personal connections. She used the HROne mobile portal to reach on-field employees who didn’t have access to laptops. Her goal was clear – to make every employee feel valued, connected, and informed. 

Transforming Lives and Building Belonging

Akansha’s efforts have transformed lives at JAES. She empowered underprivileged employees to participate actively in company communications. Blue-collar workers discovered newfound financial stability and control over their workplace. With easy access to their salary slips, they could apply for loans confidently, a remarkable change that enhanced their lives beyond the workplace.

Conclusion: The Impact of Akansha’s HR Journey

Akansha is a shining example of what’s possible when a determined HR professional takes charge and fosters positive change. It showcases that technology, innovation, and empathy can converge smoothly at all organizational levels to build amazing workplaces. This narrative showcases the evolution from challenge to triumph, ultimately underlining the power of HR to uplift lives and empower individuals to reach new heights.
