Pragya Shrimali, General Manager, HR, Philips (India)
I joined Philips back in December 2010, so I've been here for over 6 years now. To me, Philips is an integral part of my life and not just a job. It coincides with my personal belief of developing oneself and when I see the organisation and its employees grow, I grow with them.
Building Relations, Connecting People
An important reason why I decided to join Philips was that it valued relationships, which is an important aspect for me. When I was first being interviewed, I was told that Philips was very people-driven as they understand that the only way to grow value of the organisation is to invest in their people, which is a great platform for someone in HR to contribute towards.
For me, building relationships is important. I tend to reach out to people without hesitation to learn something new every time. I consider myself a “connector” as well, in the sense that if I meet someone whom I think would benefit from networking with someone else, I like to bring them together. I have gotten to work in cross-functional teams for projects, connecting with people beyond this campus and market, and I've gotten to experience different working styles and learnt to adapt to them.
