I am yet to come across an HR professional who hasn’t heard of Zappos and at least one blogger who hasn’t referred to the company at some point. This disruptive organization (and yes, I will call it that) has been making waves for a considerable amount of time and they know it. When an organization … Continue reading Zappos sells more than just shoes & clothes

Basecamp – I have my eyes on you
There is this absolutely fantastic company that I have been obsessing about for the past week. The more I read about them, the more fascinating they get. I’ve been talking about them to my team, people from other teams, people outside of work and everyone around. If you’ve heard about Ruby on Rails, 37signals or … Continue reading Basecamp – I have my eyes on you
The Gravity of it all
Being a human resource professional right now at Gravity Payments must sure be a challenge. Mr. Price’s innovative idea of setting new minimum salary of $70,000 makes it to the list of the top bizarre ideas that I have ever come across. (Holocracy is next in the list). Dan Prince is not the only leader … Continue reading The Gravity of it all
A-Z of HRBP #A: Appraisals
It wasn’t hard to decide, it really wasn’t. When initially I thought of this series, I feared that I’d have lots of topics competing for a letter. Should A be for Appreciation? Do appraisals better fit under P as performance management? But with March just behind us, I cannot think of a better post to … Continue reading A-Z of HRBP #A: Appraisals
I’m Back!
I know! I know! I vanished off the face of the Earth, but I have so much exciting news to share! Yours truly now writes at more places than just here. Lucky break, is it not? Do check out my blog posts here, here and here. I am loving the whole idea of writing series. … Continue reading I’m Back!
Timeful
I fear that this post may look a bit like an advertisement but an app as useful as this does require a dedicated post to itself. Also, there can be no better time than the beginning of the year (though I am 6 days late) to talk about ‘Timeful’. I am a fan of making … Continue reading Timeful
Big Idea 2015
It’s hard to believe that the year went by as quickly as it did. (Or is it just me?) It is the time of the year again when LinkedIn Influencers talk about their Big Ideas for 2015. I love crawling through these pages to see how it is going to influence our area of work. … Continue reading Big Idea 2015
All that Junk!
Imagine my chagrin when my LinkedIn home page began to resemble that of Facebook. Not to mention updates in profile pictures with multiple ‘likes’ and ‘comments’. Moreover, LinkedIn’s latest move enabling all users to post content has significantly increased clutter on the site. I loved LinkedIn, I did. I especially enjoyed posts published by Influencers. … Continue reading All that Junk!
If I were 22
Much has been said about being in your 20’s. Universally accepted as the age one makes most mistakes & gets away with it, LinkedIn has come up with a brand new series to help those in these crucial years. Aptly titled, ‘If I were 22’, this series has the influencers give out lessons to their … Continue reading If I were 22
SHRM vs HRCI
SHRM did throw the HR community in a frenzy with its announcement the previous week. If you haven’t heard or read about it, here’s the lowdown. (Seriously, which rock have you been hiding under?) SHRM announced that they will be releasing their own competency based certification (unnamed) from 2015. Further details will be released in … Continue reading SHRM vs HRCI
