Background:  

The HR landscape has been changing rapidly after the onslaught of Covid-19 and in the wake of unprecedented economic and financial sector developments impacting the future of work. The pandemic has tremendously impacted the workplace culture and set a new normal which has continued in many organizations even after its tapering. This has been prompting the HR function to initiate newer strategies, workforce deployment and skilling / re-skilling. The advent of technology has brought in a fundamental change necessitating strategic workforce redeployment and repositioning. It is therefore imperative to understand the paradigm shift in workplace culture, the evolving HR landscape and its need for adaptation in the financial sector. Thus, there is a critical need to discuss and reassess the training needs, deliberate on the new trends and the potential role of CAFRAL in bridging the new skill gaps in banks, FIs & NBFCs.
