It was one of those moments in life when you feel proud of the hard work that your team has done, and the due recognition comes your way. I am talking about the Asia Pacific HRM Congress 2010 held at Hotel Taj Residency in Bangalore, where The Human Factor magazine won the prestigious “Magazine of the year, 2010” award.
The conference was held on the 3rd and 4th of September, 2010, and was a melting pot of influential people from the world of HR across the private and public sectors. Eminent people like Mr. Bhaskar Chatterjee, Mr. Saugata Mitra, Dr. Y. V. Verma, Mr. Pramod Sadarjoshi, Mr. Neelmani Singh, Dr. Bhaskar Das, Mr. S. Hajara, Dr. Santrupt B Misra, and Ms. Leena Nair graced the occasion.
Amidst such eminent personalities, The Human Factor received the prestigious award. As I sat there, watching the award being announced for our magazine, my heart swelled with pride and joy. It has been two years, and I congratulate my team for all the hard work that every member put in to achieve this success.
Print was the first form of mass media, and till date it continues to be the medium of choice to reach out to people. It was only natural that we started a magazine that would bring the opinions, practices and thoughts of industry leaders within the pages of a consolidated cover. This helped us to stand on the shoulders of giants in the corporate world and leverage their experience and career paths. The magazine sought to provide inspiration to students and information to academicians and other professionals in the industry. It became a platform for sharing and knowledge gathering.
Consistent, dedicated and focused efforts throughout the past two years have finally reaped results. I am glad we have been recognized and our work acknowledged. This recognition just paves the way for greater things.
As the Chief Editorial Advisor of the magazine, I want to thank all those who made this success possible- especially our contributors and several thousand readers- without whose valuable inputs and unflinching support, this feat would have been impossible.
Congratulations Deepak, confident that Human Factor would reach great heights under your leadership.
