Director - HR
Della Group
I have been handling the entire HR Operations for Della Group of companies for the past 6 yrs
1. PHILOSOPHY
“You have the best strategy and the best building in the world, but if you don't have the hearts and minds of the people who work with you, none of it comes to life" My Philosophy is to understand the Business verticals and attract raw talents for our Luxury Villas and a five start resort attached with an adventure park which was unheard in the industry with a new theory and concept. Della was into Business verticals of Interiors and Architecture. During my period we expanded the business verticals into – Della Villas, Della Resorts and Della Adventure. The sudden expansion of Business in Resorts and Adventure was a huge task with the brand name unknown by professionals working in these specialized fields.
Creating Della brand awareness with the working professionals and talent acquisition by the HR Team was a achievement. With the experience gained I see myself heading HR in all new business ventures.
In Della, HR is admired and respected amongst all the core business functions and we understand that people are Product, Profit and Potential. HR in Della plays a great role into developing true business partnership and a value adding role.
2. LEADERSHIP
The key to leadership is Influence, not Authority. In Della, Strategic decisions made by the organization have a significant impact on staff's training and development.We focus on developing confidence and build understanding of framework for developing employee involvement into Operations.We understand that our employees play multi-faceted roles and so we strongly encourage them to explore their whole selves.
3. CULTURE / ENVIRONMENT
We truly believe that while our amazing past distinguishes us, we are only as good as what we do next. We support our mission and goal by adhering to a set core values that characterizes our culture. Della is committed to creating and sustaining a work environment and companies culture, where all employees of our diverse workforce from across the country can perform at their very best.
What we have achieved towards manpower acquisition, retention and satisfaction could not have been possible without the joint efforts of the entire HR Team in helping to head towards accomplishing a credential business model in Lonavala. If we win this battle then – and only then – are we able to take our brand to the outside world and to the next level.
