At Mahindra, crucial to the talent management process is the curation of deep-rooted conversations on talent that creates development journeys and planned learning interventions. This ensures we attract, retain, and develop top talent across the Group. Apex Talent Councils and Sector Talent Councils Strengthening Mahindra's position as an 'Employer of Choice', the Group Management Cadre (GMC) programme attracts leadership talent at entry level from top B-Schools in India. 15 GMCs joined the Group in F21. Each GMC undergoes 4 stints of 3 months each across different functions and businesses under the new experiential module. Group Management Cadre We launched the Mahindra Leadership University (MLU), the Group's Corporate University and platform, to develop executives in leadership and functional competencies. It encompasses all learning under one umbrella brand and is powered by the unified LMS (Learning Management System), MLU's Digital Learning World. MLU builds capabilities through its various academies that foster a culture of continuous learning. MLU Academies collaborate with the Group Sectors to implement a futuristic learning programme which includes MOOCs, eLearning, webinars, instructor-led interactive workshops and more. Additionally, MLU has signed up for Harvard ManageMentor® Spark™, a micro-byte content library of more than 20,000 content items that are updated daily. It enables learners to advance their personal development as per their needs. This content will be available to all employees across the Mahindra Group by F22. The Mahindra Leadership University Our initiative on Re ective Conversations (RC) to make Mahindra a Re ective Organisation has been cascaded across the Group. Till date, more than 2,600 employees have bene tted from instructor- led workshops. In F21, we developed digital solutions and modularised approaches to strengthen our re ective conversation skills. Our focus is on building a pool of internal RC trainers, half-day refresher sessions on key RC skills, role-modelling by leaders, and a coaching certification programme titled 'Mahindra Certified Reflective Conversationalist' (MCRC). The MCRC programme has been certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and high potential executives have benefitted from executive coaching by MCRC participants.
