3. GETTING SMALL & MEDIUM BUSINESSES
GET THE MOST OUT OF THEIR PEOPLE
Small and Medium Enterprises (SME)
contribute significantly to India’s GDP,
they account for around 45 percent of
the manufacturing output and 40 percent
of the total exports. SMEs are engines
for growth and showcase tremendous
entrepreneurship and innovation. SME
owners bring a wealth of experience and
passion to the products and services
they provide.
SMEs that want to grow need to
be able to attract and retain quality
talent, build strong capable teams and
efficient scalable processes. SMEs
need to attract talent on the basis of
the role being offered and retain talent
by providing a professionally driven
engaging work culture.
Making the leap to the big league an
SME needs a strong launch pad in terms
of resources in technology, finance
and human capital. Investors need the
confidence that a formal organizational
framework operating at a high level of
professionalism brings, a clear indication
that the business has what it takes to
grow.
We at Oktane celebrate the spirit of the
entrepreneur, professionals who want to
build strong capable organizations.
Our HR professionals conduct structured
current state analysis and support SMEs
in creating goal based HR strategies.

standard repeatable processes. We train
client teams at all levels to build their
levels of competence. We help to identify
potential leaders, create individual

where team members feel valued and
engaged.
At Oktane, we celebrate the spirit of the entrepreneur,
professionals who want to build strong capable organizations.
4. STRATEGIC FOCUS
What does your organization stand for,
what does it want to achieve, what are
the values that you cherish and want
your entire team to demonstrate.
How have you planned for your people
requirements as your organization grows,
will you acquire key skills from outside
the organization or will you develop
employees over a period of time. How
many people with what skills will you
require over the next three years. Will
you pay more than the industry average
or compete for talent at higher levels of
compensation? Without paying more,
how can you attract and retain the talent
that you are looking for?
We can work with you to crystallize your
Vision statement and define the values
that make your organization what it is.

LEADERSHIP
Does your organization have leaders or
only managers? Does your ecosystem
welcome and nurture leaders? What type
of leaders does your business need?
How do you identify leaders? How do
you recognize the people who could be
CEOs in your organization in the coming
years? What happens when strong
capable leaders leave the organization?
Your leaders are key pillars of your
organization, we can partner with your
organization to help you identify future
leaders, develop customized learning
tracks for select candidates and coach
existing leaders to greater success.
We also help you hire the right leaders
for your organization keeping in mind
that a prospective candidate needs
to be a good fit for the culture in your
organization as an individual who has
succeeded in one organizational culture
may not do so in another.

employees for growth and increase their
chances of success.

5. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
What makes your employees come to
work everyday? Are they excited to be
there and enjoy the opportunity to make
meaningful contributions?
Do you have employees who just show
up, occupy a workstation and punch
out at the end of the day? Do you
have employees who not only do not
work but spread negativity towards the
organization and impact others around
them?
Gallup consulting research shows direct
linkages between employee engagement
and organizational success. Are your
employees clear on what they need
to do, how strong are feelings of team
identification, do they have the resources
required, are they recognized and
rewarded for their contributions, do they
get opportunities to communicate with
the senior team on a regular basis?
We can work with your organization to
create reward and recognition programs,
design employee engagement activities,
energize fun at work programs and
enhance communication processes.

COMPETENCY MAPPING
How do you decide who to hire? What
is the basis of skill and behavioral
training in your organization, what are
you looking for in candidates eligible for
promotion?
For an individual to succeed in any role
in an organization there is a specific set
of knowledge, skills and behaviors which
are required. This set of knowledge,
skills and behaviors is known as a
competency. We can work with your
organization to define the technical and
behavioral competencies required for
each role.
This framework of competencies for
the organization will help you to hire
right candidates, get the most value for
money spent on training and promote
employees with a greater chance of
success in the new role.

oriented culture? Do team members
know what is expected of them? Is the
entire organization right down to the
frontline team members aligned towards
delivering results? Have you set exciting
targets for the team? Are performance
reviews in your organization consistent?
Are performance discussions the only
forums to talk about performance or do
you have a culture that values regular
feedback and feed forward? Does your
organization visibly reward individual
and team performance?

culture!through an effective performance
management system. We will work

ARE YOU HIRING THE RIGHT
PEOPLE?
Are you recognized as a preferred
employer brand? Are you attracting the
best talent? Do you know the exact set
of skills, knowledge and behaviours
required for individuals to be successful
in their roles? Does your team have the
competence to hire the best people? Do
you follow a structured process to reduce
subjectivity in the hiring process? Would
the individual be successful in your
organizational ecosystem?
Wrong hiring is a nightmare and it’s not
something that an organization whether
young or old can afford. The damage it
does to companies and individuals can
be tremendous.
Remember past performance is a good
indicator however would the selected
candidate be successful in your
organizational environment.
We offer our services to help you
define the competency requirements,

of psychometric instruments, shortlist
resumes, coordinate interviews, conduct
preliminary interviews of potential
candidates

LEARNING AND
DEVELOPMENT
Our learning interventions are focused
on performance – the act of performing;
of doing something successfully; using
knowledge as distinguished from merely
possessing it.
As part of our service we offer standard
programs in key areas. Our facilitators
ensure a great mix of fun, experiential
learning for the participants.
Our training interventions are based
on the E.L.I.P process, participants
go through an event which simulates
a real life scenario, the learning is
processed in the group, this discussion
leads to many perspectives and
sometimes strongly held beliefs being
challenged, the learning is internalized
through discussion and reflection and
participants practice the new behaviour
for effective transfer of learning.

PROGRAMS
∂ Communication skills
∂ Business etiquette
∂ Business writing
∂ Presentation skills
∂ Personal effectiveness
∂ Confidence and assertiveness
∂ Excellent customer service

Are your teams learning? Where are they learning from? Who are
they learning from? How are they learning? What happens with
the lessons learnt? Are teams making their own mistakes or are
they learning from those of others? Knowledge translated into
action is your competitive advantage.
