In this role, I drove HR transformation by implementing HRMS (Adrenalin) for 850+ employees, which automated core HR processes and improved efficiency. I introduced Balanced Scorecards within our PMS to strengthen performance alignment and helped create structured career paths and succession plans. One of my proudest achievements was leading a 3-year wage settlement for 189 unionized employees—achieved through mutual trust and without any mandays lost. I also facilitated training programs based on skill gap analysis, ensured 100% compliance through regular audits, and acted as the first point of contact for employee grievances.

Working in a Japanese MNC helped me develop a strong appreciation for discipline, process, and people-first leadership. I designed and executed structured onboarding programs, created training programs based on skill gap analysis, and rolled out a Performance Management System using Bell Curve methodology. I managed conciliation proceedings, drafted charge sheets, and participated in wage negotiations for over 230 unionized workers. Alongside HR operations, I introduced a confidential grievance reporting mechanism aligned with Japanese Genba principles, ensuring that employee voices were heard in a safe and structured way.
