“Around 2005 we approached Strides for some critical HR interventions to help us keep up the rapid growth we were experiencing.Given the commitment and dedication of staff at Renuka, it was important for us to introduce systems and processes that would capture their growth and development. Strides helped us do that through various training, structuring and process interventions that enable all managers to ‘focus on people’ while growing the business multi-fold. Strides continues to be an enabler on various organizational issues that impact people and business growth.The Strides team works with commitment and passion becoming an ‘insider’ to the whole HR process in our company”

“Strides International has been working closely with All Cargo Global Logistics for almost two years, transforming our organization into a professional entity. We are now in transition and we can confidently see our destination with talented people coming on board. Strides have worked ‘Inside Out’ with us and customized our HR Systems and People Development programs in the last two years, as our HR partners. They have created a culture of promotion from within/early responsibility/risk taking ability coupled with robust campus recruitment and management trainee programs.

We are becoming an attractive global organization to work for, in the people market. We have made a difference to our segment by acquiring a much larger European Multimodal Logistics company and going public in India. Strides have contributed immensely to this big leap and have taken HR to our merging partners, making a positive impact in their European locations. We are sharing talent across the globe and working as partners with the acquired company.

Strides participate in our business processes and have made innovative interventions leading to new business initiatives. They have shown our managers ways to address the behavioral issues and not just business performance issues. We see our managers working at cross-purposes less frequently, and they are able to stand the scrutiny of their teams. Through the formation of a policymaking Management Committee we foresee platforms for self-renewal and team renewal, an initiative led by Strides.

There has been a subtle yet result-oriented team building process in place across the world, with STRIDES INTERNATIONAL as our partners, always available in our need.”

Strides International has worked with GroupM and its business units during the year 2005 as our outsourced HR Consultants and launched the following initiatives, playing their role as internal "change agents".

They laid the foundation of an HR culture in the company, guiding our leaders through some stressful situations to become autonomous and self-reliant .

1)	Designed and launched a Performance Management System (PMS) and trained all our management and subordinate staffby conducting live workshops using real data wherever possible.
2)	Trained people in selection and interviewing skills and installed a user-friendly Recruiting system. Thereafter,managers were enabled to implement a robust Campus recruiting program
3)	Management Trainees were inducted and assigned to functions through a well-planned culturization process.
4)	Linked to the PMS, Training needs were charted, Aspire -our Training Initiative was launched successfully and a career planning project was initiated.
5)	Diagnostic survey was conducted covering key people across the organization and the Leadership was provided direction to manage change and become accountable in their roles.

Strides did not create any dependability, but in fact empowered our leaders to understand their HR role within the business units they headed.
