Sunetra Mukherjee was an HR professional who had nearly 13 years of experience in Indian companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was primarily into recruitment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She had to take a 4 year career break for personal reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of her work experience was pertaining to the recruitment space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She faced numerous challenges in getting back to work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Lack of confidence <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Not being sure whether she had the latest in-demand skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The pandemic had hit, and getting opportunities had become more difficult. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Instead of going back to doing more of recruitment, Sunetra started learning new and different skill sets, like labour & employment compliance, drafting, performance management so that she could be more valuable to an organisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All of these new skill sets required her to develop an understanding of labour and employment laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We helped her to improve her CV and start networking using social media platforms like LinkedIn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She started regularly sharing insights around labour laws.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As she developed her skills, she continued to apply for jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Within 1.5 months, she was able to secure a new job with a company at a 40% increment from my last earned salary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this role, in addition to recruitment she was doing labour and employment compliance and HR-related drafting work as well! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She even drafted several important company policies for foreign jurisdictions where her employer had a presence – US, Mexico and Bangladesh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Guess what happened next? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although she thought that she would not get an incentive as HR is a business support function, not a revenue generating one like the marketing or sales function, she was surprised when the promoters had paid her one of the biggest incentives in the organisation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
