2015 SpecialReport I f one string of words could describe the core
essence of managing and empowering human resources in a big
corporation, then it would have to be Rise Together, said Caecillia
Adinoto, the human resources director for General Electric
Indonesia. What sets us apart from other company is that we grow by
leadership. Leadership doesnt always mean to lead teams. It also
means to lead yourself, empowers individu- als so we can rise
together, says Caecillia, who adds that she still regards herself
as a village girl from Semarang, Central Java, who now plays a
significant role in the country office of this behemoth company.
Despite of having no formal background in Human Resources Caecillia
studied clinical psychology at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta
and interned for two years at a mental institution in the United
States it is clear that her devotion to this career path runs
strongly in heir veins. Caecillia grew up in a rather academic and
musical family. Her mother was an English and piano teacher.
Growing in a classical music environment should have paved the way
for her to choose a career down this path. Instead, she chose to go
with human resources. In music, Im always curious to explore the
creative notions that lead musicians to create musical
masterpieces, she says. Its not just creativity, but also emotion.
Thats why I studied psychology. And Ive always believed that
psychology and human resources have a strong connection, especially
in finding the perfect candidate profile for a specific role in a
company. Directing and managing human resources in such a big
company like GE Indonesia requires more than just skills and
qualifications, but also a strong understand- ing of the companys
culture. When asked about the corporate culture at GE Indonesia,
Caecillia quoted her own HR chief, Susan Peters: Culture eats
strategy for lunch meaning that despite any amount of strategy one
draws up, without culture the company would not go anywhere,
Caecillia explains. Perhaps this view is influenced not only by the
strong culture that GE Indonesias employees are wrapped in, but
also their journey within the company that allows them to identify
core values. It is for this reason that Caecillia points out three
core essences that represent the cultural value of the company.
First is experiential, where talent is required to master the
multiple aspects of the companys business. Second is collabo-
ration, to further provide solutions to various departments. And
finally, merit, where the company provides rewards for employees
with outstanding performance. From the very beginning, we told our
employee what to expect. We told them how to get there, and we give
them rewards if they reach it, Caecillia says. There is also
another unique aspect about the working environment at GE
Indonesia. EmpoweringWorkersLikeGE
CaecilliaAdinotoisGEIndonesiashumanresourceschief. GAPhoto We have
to play fast, learn fast, and make sure we are shielded with
knowledge. We have to educate as well as manage ourselves. Rather
of having all staff across the board, the company put Caecillia on
a kind of solo ops duty. In our company, people like me are called
single contributors, she says. I dont have direct staff, I dont
have any direct reports. But I manage teams, which are recruitment,
compensations and benefits, and HR operations. Caecillia explains
that the single contributor is the companys creed, whose main
purpose is to empower talent through the assimilation of process,
system and technology, which enables employees to be
self-sufficient in handling their job roles. Most managers
generally measure success through teams. Thats not what we do,
Caecillia says. InGEIndonesia,weempowerindividu-
alsthroughleadership.Everyoneisasingle
contributorwhocollaborateswitheachother.
Becauseofourdistinctivebusiness,weare
mainlyfocusedonsinglecontributors,sothat wecanallrisetogether.
Caecillia says one of the important roles of a human resources
manager is to always promote education, besides developing talent
and nurturing the companys culture, both inside and outside the
organization. It is important to believe that everything is
uncertain, not only in business but also in life in general, she
says. Therefore, we need to mitigate everything through education.
We have to play fast, learn fast, and make sure that we are
shielded with knowledge. We have to educate as well as manage
ourselves. This is what we do at GE Indonesia. GlobeAsia General
