Inspired by the movement in my industry called ‘HR Positive’ and Laurie Ruettimann’s post on the same. I am in love with HR. When not in my day job as an HR Business Partner, I am reading, writing, researching and attending conferences about HR. Some would consider it an overkill but few things inspire me … Continue reading I am HR Positive
If technology was the solution to our problems, we’d be far closer to wrapping our heads around it than we are today. The evil truth is that it’s not. Technology is an enabler and that is the sole reason the HR fraternity has been able to maintain a safe distance and get away with it. … Continue reading In pursuit of technology
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
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
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
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 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!
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
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
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!
