Online, March 2, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Hindustan Times presents the 1st HT Shine HR Summit, a full day event where policy makers, corporate leaders and senior HR Practitioners come together to debate what it takes to Make India a Great Place to Work. An initiative by Shine.com, Hindustan Times' recruitment portal, it aims to bring together top HR professionals from across the country discussing drivers of productivity in the Indian workplace that go into making India a great place to work.

Talking about the initiative, Amit Garg, Business Head- HTMedia Digital said, "We often hear about India being a global superpower and how growth and development is being powered by a strong economy.

And this will require action from both the employee and employer. This is what we seek to address at the first HT Shine HR Summit. Organisations will share best practices, have a good look at what changes they need to make themselves and determine the factors that will make India a great place to work.
