With increasing globalization of economy, marketplace has become increasingly complex, highly uncertain, competitive and transformational. Today, doing business is like a war. What makes the ultimate difference is whether an organization is able to develop and establish competitive differentiator or not. Everything, including capital, technology, product design, and service deliverability can be copied by the competitors, except the talented people. Nobody can emulate a highly competent, charged/ motivated and committed workforce. Such talented people can provide an organization a sustained competitive advantage. However, managing people by any means is not easy. The present study examines the state of Human Resource Development Climate (HRDC) in Indian organisations as perceived by employees in general. The research has been taken in context of three dimensions of Human Resource Development Climate. These dimensions are General Climate, HRD Mechanisms and OCTAPAC (Openness, Confrontation, Trust, Autonomy, Proaction, Authenticity and Collaboration). A humble attempt has been made to present the entire contemporary conceptual framework of human resource development climate in a refreshingly new style so as to facilitate devising of appropriate strategies for the organization which will result in the delivery of a culmination of organizational goals and human resource goals for creating and delivering better value to the various stakeholders of an organization- including shareholders, customers and employees.
