Dr. Shiva is a passionate Workforce Management (WFM) professional with a long-standing vision to build a global WFM community. While working at IBM, he recognized a significant gap—there was no dedicated global forum for WFM professionals. Motivated by this insight, he embarked on international research to better understand global trends in Workforce and Resource Management. This journey led to the founding of GWFM (Global Workforce Management)in 2016.Today, GWFM is a globally chartered organization and think-tank platform with active chapters across APAC, ANZ, EMEA, NA, and LATAM. The organization proudly represents a membership of over 25,000 professionals worldwide. GWFM also serves as a Future-Ready Organization Accreditation Body, setting industry benchmarks through its WFM Maturity Model Accreditation, and is renowned for its WFM Innovation Platform.
Dr. Shiva brought together a group of WFM and HR professionals to host the first-ever WFM event on June 27, 2016—a day now celebrated globally as “International WFM Professionals Day.”
With over 30 years of global experience, he has successfully led the recruitment of more than 100,000 professionals and continuously works to align workforce capabilities with evolving business needs. He has also designed and implemented industry best practices, contributed significantly to WFM product development, and built strong relationships with global clients and stakeholders. He has held strategic leadership roles at leading multinational corporations such as CGI, Wipro,IBM, Accenture, and Sodexo. Notably, he also holds a global patent for the Workforce Management Maturity Model.
Dr. Shiva holds a master’s degree in Human Resources and Strategic Operations, and a PhD in Workforce Management Maturity Models. He is widely regarded as a thought leader in the advancement of WFM frameworks, particularly in the areas of operational efficiency and revenue assurance.
