Envision Talent Management and Oxford to Launch India’s First Initiative in “Precision Management”

Envision Talent Management, in association with The Oxford Group of Institutions, will be launching the first Indian initiative in ‘Precision Recruitment’ at The Oxford College of Business Management, HSR Layout. 

Plato, the Greek philosopher and mathematician had said "No two persons are born alike but each differs from the other in individual endowments, one being suited for one thing and another for another, and all things will be provided in superior quality and quantity and with greatest ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts.”

This is the challenge today. Despite the availability of professions that defy enumeration, most young people still enter jobs due to parental aspirations, peer pressure or perceived monetary rewards.

This, coupled with the intense pressure of performance, results in a quick dissolution of the feeling of achievement and growing frustration, negativism and isolation.

Speaking on the initiative, Kailash Patnaik, Founder Director of Envision, says, “Our mission is to use scientific tools to calibrate each student’s potential and then map it to opportunities available. This will ensure quality recruitment for companies, increasing people performance and lowering attrition. We are pleased to acknowledge the foresight of Mr. Ramesh Raju, Executive Director of Oxford, in realising the need and sponsoring it for his MBA students.”

The need of the day is to help our youth to realise their potential through ‘Precision Recruitment’, identifying vocations that align:

1. Natural talents that each person is born with;
2. Acquired abilities that have accrued through formal and non-formal education;
3. Aspirational attributes that each person desires.

The initiative is being launched on 15 November 2010 through a seminar on ‘Corporate Challenges in Employability Skills’ in which representatives of companies and management consulting firms will address the heads of institutions and students on attitudes, knowledge and skills required to succeed in the modern competitive environment.

Dr. Nandeshwar, Director of Oxford, says that, “This seminar will be useful for people to know challenges faced by corporates in recruitment so that necessary steps can be taken by the institutions and students to prepare for the performance environment.”
