For its enticing edition, “The Best Companies to Work for 2023”, we caught up with Mr. Paul James, who is the Director of this firm, to get magnificent insights into the present HR consulting landscape and what vision he is carrying forward to change the paradigms of this domain.
The Man at the Helm
Mr. Paul James completed his graduation from the Madras Christian College, his Master of Social Work (MSW) from Loyola College, Chennai, and his M.Phil. in HR from the Madras School of Social Work. The professional is also a qualified MBTI practitioner from the Association for Psychological Type International (APTi), Chicago, USA. He holds a whopping 35 years of experience in the HR field, including 16 years of experience in manufacturing as Head HR at Thirumalai Chemicals Ltd., UCAL Fuel Systems Ltd., and MRF Ltd. During the initial years of founding PSCS Analytics, PJ found it quite challenging to position himself as a trustworthy consultant and garner the attention of potential customers. However, the dignitary was passionately dedicated to building the organization and poured in consistent efforts for years.
His years of fervent hard work have positioned PSCS Analytics where it is standing today. PJ has taken the road less traveled by undertaking survey research to arrive at interesting conclusions instead of working on assumptions. He ardently talks about organizational behavior and the human mind, making connections between the workforce, and rewarding the workforce with intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. In his book, “Decoding People’s Pulse,” he speaks about the direct proportionality of the influence of family with the satisfaction (fulfillment) an employee feels at the workplace. Work-life balance matters, as without engagement at home, one cannot expect an employee to be engaged at work.
A Glimpse of the Service Portfolio
Employee Satisfaction Survey
The Employee Satisfaction Survey (ESS) is a simple and effective tool to understand people’s pulse based upon the Porter & Lawler model. It seeks to understand employees’ opinions on work context, work content, moderators, engagement, commitment, and any other dimensions required by the client. The survey can be used to identify people’s issues based on their mandate. Those critical issues that cause employee dissatisfaction and ultimately attrition will be measured, determined, and tackled.
Conducting the survey creates an avenue for employees to express their grievances, and thus PSCS’s team can resolve problems before they become extreme. PSCS-ESS surveys have been carried out at reputed companies such as Delphi-TVS Diesel Systems Ltd., Siemens Building Technologies, Vedanta Aluminium Plant at Lanjigarh, L&T (RPM) JSW Salem, Apollo Tyres, Siemens Gamesa, ATC Tires, Sharda Motors, Omax Auto, Reynolds Pens, Rane Group, etc.
This survey was also carried out at Thirumalai Mission Hospital and Thirumalai Charity Trust. PSCS not only takes up PSCS-ESS, which is its main plank, but also undertakes Compensation Surveys, conducts surveys for review of CSR projects. The Company has the wherewithal to undertake any type of related studies in industries
Industrial Relations Climate Assessment Index
The need to understand and measure the Industrial Relations (IR) Climate has grown with the rise of new companies, especially MNCs. The need to support MNCs with an index to proactively identify problem areas and provide the requisite support is crucial to Mr. Paul James before more drastic action becomes necessary. Amidst the increasing number of industrial disputes in India, the auto majors need an assessment to evaluate the IR Climate not only of their own companies but also of their suppliers, with Tier-1 suppliers foremost in the scope. PSCS has also undertaken a study in a particular district for checking the Industrial Relations scenario to ascertain the suitability of putting a labour intensive factory there.
