A two-day conference to look into the prospects of trans-regional partnership in human resource (HR) management among Sub-Continental countries including Pakistan and India will begin here from Monday.
The conference "Partnership Summit on Human Resources practices in Sub-Continent" is being organised by the Human Resource Foundation (HRF), Islamabad in collaboration with the Delhi Management Association (DMA).
The experts from Pakistan and India would strive to evolve a joint strategy to exploit the human resource potential in the region with best effect.
The theme of the conference, the second of its kind, will be "Preparing Human Capital for Tomorrow's challenges"; organisers of the event told a news conference here on Saturday.
Corporate sector experts both from Pakistan and India will share their experience of human resource management during the conference.
The first HRM conference was held in New Delhi last year and the third one would also be held in the Indian capital next year, Zafar A Taji, the president of the HRF said.
The conference would provide HRM practitioners from both Pakistan and India to interact with each other, share information, knowledge and experiences.
He further said that the conference would serve as an excellent platform to project Pakistan's view point on various HRM issues and simultaneously learn from regional counterparts, especially from India, on a variety of disciplines and best practices.
He welcomed the members of the DMA and Indian delegates who have arrived in the city to participate in the conference.
Taji pointed out that Pakistan and India had co-ordination in other fields like trade, culture and social, but not in HRM sector, which needed to be strengthened.
"We have committed to address the HRM issues jointly and the conference will be a continued process between the two neighbouring countries," he added.
Rakesh Sharma, President DMA, expressed his excitement and said he and his team were eagerly looking forward to visit Pakistan to see and learn about the management practices in their neighbourhood and share vast experience with the Pakistani counterparts.
He highlighted that HRM development was the need of the day and practitioners had a key role to play in bringing about this realisation to achieve economic and social development.
J.C Jhuraney, the vice president DMA, underlined the need of joint ventures in the HRM field and explained that Pakistan-India had the same culture, values, history and even same problems like unemployment, poverty and low wage issue.
