Vikas Maheshwary, our AVP Global HR Transformation delivered a talk on “Data Analytics in HR” for the Biocon Biologics R&D department’s Data Science Symposium 2024. This unique initiative, organized by our R&D department, invites internal and external experts to speak on a variety of subjects to help broaden their collective perspectives. It was attended by many participants both in-person and online, who were hungry for knowledge and had interesting questions, like: - “How does skills data impact compensation?” - “How do you validate a predictive analytics model?” - “What is the highest accuracy of a predictive model as per industry standards?” - “What are the predictive and prescriptive analytics use cases in HR?” The role of analytics in HR is pivotal in transforming the Human Resources function from a traditional, intuition-based practice to a data-driven, strategic element within an organization. It is essential for modern HR departments to optimize workforce management, generate actionable insights, and improve talent management performance. For a company anchored in science, you can imagine how exciting this journey is for us! Learn more about R&D at Biocon Biologics: https://lnkd.in/geR2CvMa
Maintaining a healthy mind is crucial for overall well-being, especially for men who often face societal pressures to keep their struggles hidden. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated are key to mental fitness. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep and manage stress with mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. Social connections with friends, family, and your community are vital. Take breaks from screens and social media to reduce digital fatigue. Incorporating these practices into your daily routine can foster a healthier mind and help break the stigma around men’s mental health. #RealMenFeelToo #MensMentalHealth #AwarenessMonth #HealthyMind #StayActive #DigitalDetox #SupportEachOther #MentalWellness

Last month, we began a partnership agreement with Mount Carmel College, Bangalore to do just that. Our internship program in India provides budding professionals with hands-on experience and industry exposure. It is designed to help interns gain practical knowledge and enhance their skills under the guidance of experienced professionals. At the end, they can choose to stay with us or move on to another experience and opportunity. To launch the partnership, our Global Chief Development Officer - Sandeep Athalye, Global Head of Talent Acquisition - Karthik SM, Senior Director, Global Talent Acquisition - Ranju Thomas, and Global Employer & Talent Brand Lead - Schonali Rebello (also an Old Girl of the institution), met with Dr George Lekha - Principal, Mount Carmel College, and HODs for Biology, Microbiology, Life Sciences, and Biotechnology - Sr Albina, Sr Arpana, Dr. Kavitha Singh, and Dr. Sharon Sophia J, and addressed the students about life as a scientist and life at Biocon Biologics, along with a healthy dose of life & career advice in general.
