Ms. Lakshmi explained how the role of an HR has
come a long way in India and how it is evolving
every single day. It isnt easy to handle
the Human Resource of a company because managing
people is the toughest job ever in the field of
management, and theexpectation of the
organization on HR is high because now a days
people not only want smart TV and mobile but also
smart employees, exclaimed Ms. Lakshmi.

• The OCB interaction touched topics like-
• a. Organizational Citizenship Behavior
• b. Importance of HR in developing OCB
• c. Understanding the impact of effectiveness of
  OCB in organizations
• Organizational Citizenship Behavior is something
  an individual plays independently within an
  organization and unless you are trained in it or
  attentive towards it, you will not contribute to
  the overall growth of the organization. To define
  it in simpler ways, OCB is a person's voluntary
  commitment within an organization or company that
  is not part of his or her contractual tasks.

Mr. Kumar simplified it for the students further
by explaining how one can achieve OCB by
following the below listed factors          Alt
ruism quality of unselfish concern of
others          Courtesy polite
behavior          Sportsmanship fairness in
following rules          Conscientiousness
reasonable level of self-control          Civic
sense how well a person represents an
organization

Anybody can perform well in work allotted to
him/her, but a true employee is he who goes an
extra mile to perform extraordinarily, said
Manager, HR, Kogentix in his speech. Hes the
successful employee and organization needs such
people, Mr Kumar added further.
