Vinita Gupta writes that the changing role of HR has made it a key player in improving employee performance and consequently organisational growth."

"What is the root cause of an IT organisation’s success? Is it path-breaking and innovative technology? Great products and brands? No. It is a workforce of dynamic and motivated individuals who take the organisation forward with their hard work and passion for excellence. It is consequently very important to develop their skills and competencies and provide the right environment for individual and organisational growth. The HR department of a company can play a strategic role in this effort."
