Shivani had a team of 5 people reporting to her ( 3 HR Executives, 1 Training Officer, 1 Office Receptionist / Administrator ) Shivani was responsible for managing key HR functions which was well managed. Recruitment at all levels, On-Boarding planning inductions and off boarding planning exit interviews etc. She managed training budget identifying training need analysis. Shivani was good in employee relations and grievance handling. She well managed the annual manpower budget. Same time ensuring good compliance on company policies and procedure. Overall Shivani had a challenging time at Al-Futtaim managing HR changes during recession times and same time coping with stake holder expectations from HR side. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would definitely would want to work with her again in the future.

Shivani was functionally reporting into me during her tenure at Bvlgari while I was the WW Head of Compensation and Benefit in Bulgari. I worked with Shivani in close collaboration setting up the Retail Joint Ventures in UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. It was a challenging time for the business and for HR Department. However, Shivani managed the full project successfully. Despite of the various challenges of the market, Shivani was always able to find the best possible solution and let the momentum going. She stroke the right balance between the region and the Head Office, Rome; which was the key to ensure all HR practices were well aligned and implemented as per business needs.

Shivani reported into me during my tenure as President EMEA for Godiva. I worked very closely with her on a number of projects, such as the recruitment of key talents to expand the EMEA Leadership Team, the creation and coordination of compehensive training programs for store teams to facilitate the company changes in business model, or the management of local and regional organization designs and necessary restructuring to adapt to the evolving business needs. Shivani knows how to build relationships and collaborate with key stakeholders, and she knows how to manage people's expectations to meet business imperatives. She was instrumental in managing full employee lifecycle from on-boarding to off-boarding, as well as the journey in between for all the countries she covered. Managing a team of 4 HRBP and 4 Training Managers, most of them located in other countries, she was a constant source of support and coaching for them.
