Last week, Chief People Office of Tech Mahindra, Harshvendra Soin took the HR Leadership team on a trip to the future. During his presentation, Harsh showcased the company’s re-imaginings of the HR function both in the present day and the year 2025. In this innovative, engaging talk, Harsh called upon the voice of “buddy” Jarvis to illustrate what HR would look like in the coming decades. He also outlined some of the impactful decisions the company has already made this year. “A lot has changed,” Harsh explained, as futuristic images of cityscapes, cobots and rocket launches played across the screen. The opening montage had a startling premise: “HR,” in 2025, “ceases to exist.”
But things weren’t entirely what they seemed. Humorously reminiscing about “the good old days of 2018 and 2019,” Harshvendra guided the team through Tech Mahindra’s successes – both real and predicted – and expanded on factors such as workforce transitions, life after retirement, workplace wellness, skilling and reskilling, ecosystems and performance reviews. If Harsh’s presentation is any indication, the future seems very bright indeed.
So what does HR look like in 2025?
