During the session, the speaker emphasized the three core components of an organization: people, process, and technology. He highlighted the crucial role of people within an organization, explaining how companies aim to enhance employee contributions and success through a well-managed and comprehensive employee life cycle.

In his discussion on the Employee Life Cycle (ELC), Mr. Mohapatra detailed the process that guides employees from the attraction phase to offboarding. He stressed the need for a smooth, seamless, and transparent recruitment process, followed by distinct stages of pre-onboarding, pre-boarding, and onboarding—each critical to employee integration. He elaborated on the subjective nature of employee engagement and the objective focus on productivity. Furthermore, he delved into employee development and talent retention, one of the most prolonged phases of the ELC model. Finally, he underscored the importance of effective offboarding for organizational success. Mr. Mohapatra also highlighted companies excelling in ELC practices.
