Amla Awasthi — Head of Talent
Over the last two decades in HR leadership, I have focused on delivering people strategies that create measurable business impact—not just good intent. I have led initiatives that significantly improved employee satisfaction and retention through flexible work models, wellness programs, and targeted engagement interventions—resulting in double-digit improvement in engagement scores and a meaningful reduction in voluntary attrition across critical roles. By closely aligning HR strategy with business priorities, I have partnered with senior leadership to design and implement high-impact talent acquisition, learning and development, and performance management frameworks. These efforts have helped reduce time-to-hire, strengthen leadership pipelines, and improve productivity and role readiness across functions. My work in learning and capability building has driven higher internal promotions, improved succession coverage for key roles, and enabled faster scale during periods of business growth. Compensation and benefits strategies have been restructured to ensure market competitiveness, pay equity, and ROI-led investments, supporting both retention and cost optimization. Core areas of expertise include HR strategy and workforce planning, learning and development, compensation and benefits, employee engagement, and employee relations. I operate as a business partner—using data, metrics, and insight to translate business goals into practical people solutions. I am passionate about building cultures of learning, accountability, and excellence—where people feel valued and businesses see results. I firmly believe that when HR speaks the language of outcomes, influence naturally follows.
