THE US-based global human resources management consultancy firm Hay Group on Wednesday kicked off its Indian operations with an office in New Delhi. With presence in 42 countries across 77 offices, India is one of the three main markets for Hay Group investments — China and Russia being other two priority markets, the company said in a statement here.

The Hay Group solves business issues of CEOs, other senior executives and top HR leaders by providing customised solutions that leverage the organisation and human resources to deliver tangible bottom-line impact, it said.

"Our association with India dates back to the 60s, when the late Dr David C. McClelland, Professor at Harvard and co-founder of McBer & Co (which was later merged into the Hay Group), did a lot of pioneering work in the areas

of human motivation and economic achievement with entrepreneurs in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat," said Mr Tharuma Rajah, General Manager (Asia Pacific) of Hay Group.

The group has also set up it's Information Services Division in India. Hay Information Services (HIS) helps clients in over 50 countries utilise salary benchmarking information to maximize return on salary investment and to develop effective pay practices.

The New Delhi office of Hay Group has been staffed by members from other offices of the Hay Group as well as local talent with the office poised for rapid growth in line with client needs.
