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

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

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
Who do we ask?
The 2014 Recognition Trends Report released by Quantum Workplace has kicked up quite a buzz. (http://www.quantumworkplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Resources-Whitepapers-2014-Recognition-Trends-Report.pdf). So much so that Tim Sackett and Kris Dunn wrote about it too. According to the report and Tim & Kris’s posts, top forms of recognition either has to do with money (Pay hikes, spontaneous bonuses), autonomy/flexibility or more … Continue reading Who do we ask?
Infographic Craze!
We’re all loving this new form of data representation, aren’t we? But how many infographic resumes have you come across? I’ve seen a few float around in the marketing department. Save that, it’s not really caught on. Considering that the average recruiter take an average of 6s to look at a resume, I wonder why … Continue reading Infographic Craze!
Putting it all out there!
Buffer, a San Francisco based Social media startup, recently published the salaries of its employees on public domain. While this has generated a lot of buzz and good will, there is a good deal of debate on if this was indeed a wise move. http://qz.com/160348/why-a-startup-just-published-all-of-its-employees-salaries-for-the-world-to-see/#! As a startup, it can probably afford to put out … Continue reading Putting it all out there!
