Rising importance of GICs

Years ago, upon realizing the advantages of outsourcing, many organizations shifted some of their operations to low cost geographies, which enabled them to save on costs. These centers used to be known as ‘Captives’ which, for many, did not offer any strategic value beyond saving costs. However, after being rechristened ‘Global-In-House Centers’ (GICs), their objective became a lot more self-explanatory. Since the 1990s, GICs have played a major role in helping change the face of the IT sector. It may be said that cost-cutting was the driving force behind the concept, but GICs today have witnessed a lot of transition and expanded their scope to bring in several value-added benefits for organizations. From 2000 onwards, GICs saw a shift in operations and transformed from being simple backend support entities to multi-functional centers of excellence. Furthermore, in the 2010s, GICs also started taking on the mantle of being a creative center as well. Today, apart from the IT sector, others like healthcare, pharmaceuticals, aerospace etc. are also seeing the growth of GICs However, for the success of any GIC, it is very important to be able to attract, develop, and retain talent. In tandem, they also need to undertake transformative measures, create well thought out plans to upskill the workforce, and rethink how work is delivered. Unlike a few years back, today, workers are looking for more value propositions in their careers than just simple remuneration. In order to attract the best talent and retain their present employees, GICs need to be strategic partners for their parent organizations in order to become ‘growth enablers’ instead of just ‘cost savers’.

Common Challenges faced by GICs

The main challenges that a GIC faces include finding the right talent with the right depth for the role in question, retaining the talent, and take care of engagement levels and employee expectations. Expert Advice for Talent Acquisition: For a GIC, it is important to define the key stages of the recruitment process. Analyzing skill sets, local labour markets, and economic factors allow for better recruit targeting. From skills mapping to compensation mapping, GICs today are in need of proper talent advisory. Attracting The Best Talent: Apart from finding the right talent, it is important for GICs to be able to attract them with the right job and growth offers. This pertains to employer branding and creating the right image of the organization that would interest talent. Managing That Talent: Once recruited, apart from fostering growth, a GIC would also require the aid of the latest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) driven automation tools for HR operations, talent acquisition, and retention of talent.
