Focusing on the management and optimization of an organization's human capital, HR consultants have become integral partners in guiding businesses. A competent HR consulting partner plays a pivotal role in talent management, remote work strategies, crisis management, employee well-being, conducive culture, L&D, and more. Nitin Dheer is one such consultant bringing a paradigm shift in the HR consulting landscape using technology. He is the Founder and Lead Consultant of Inqubex People Solutions and Inqsights.

The company, originally established in India in 2009 under the name Inqubex, has expanded its operations globally, including the UAE and the UK under the brand name Inqsights. Both the agencies work together to provide high value solutions by combining advice, data, and technology.

Nitin's foray into entrepreneurship was prompted from a vision to establish a client-centric HR consulting firm that is driven by data and analytics. Drawing from his experience of working for corporates and consulting firms, he identified the need for an enterprise committed to customer service and quality. Today, after almost 15 years, the company is an epitome for client-centricity and boasts an impressive retention rate. “75 percent of our annual business comes from our existing clients”, he remarks.

However, what sets Inqsights apart is the innovation in service delivery and integration of technology.

In addition to traditional advisory services, Inqsights utilizes a suite of tech tools to enable its consulting services. The company leverages three core technology platforms a productivity engine, an assessment engine, and a survey platform all cloud-based and language adaptive. These technologies are designed for efficiency, offering fast and seamless implementation without the need for complex integrations with clients' existing systems. The productivity engine analyzes a company's human resource data to provide valuable insights into various aspects such

as productivity enhancements, salary distribution, work force allocation, skill gaps, and gender diversity.

Besides supporting recruitment, this tool also helps identify learning and development needs within the organization. By ensuring that training programs align with individual employee requirements, it contributes to the overall improvement of the workforce. Inqsights’ survey platform supports employee engagement and multi-source feedback. These tools help organizations to gain valuable insights into individuals and the company as a whole, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
