Corporate Training

During the different stages of the life cycle of an organisation, it will have different priorities and challenges. Many a time, the organisational elements that are effective and appropriate at one stage may not be suitable for success in another stage. This is especially true when there are rapid changes in the market, economy, technology, and in the nature of human resources. In order to survive and grow, organisations have to align their human resources and technology to their goals and need to be abreast with customer demand and stiff competition. Every organisation today has to continuously bring in new knowledge and skills and transform and evolve itself to meet the long-term and short-term goals and challenges. Organisations will benefit more from consulting inputs provided by outside experts rather than solely depending on the knowledge and resources within the organisation. Most of the organisations today engage external consultants for different sorts of technical, organisational and human resource development

Corporate Training is an important unit of CIR, which attempts to meet the growing demands from the corporate world for upgrading the skills of employees, especially at the managerial level. This unit has evolved specific corporate training programs covering areas like leadership development, organizational development, change management, stress management, emotional intelligence etc. Organizations have come forward to avail these services from the experts in CIR.

Vision: We aspire for a society where people appreciate diverse perspectives and embrace critical thinking.
