I think I’ve been spoilt. After close to two years of never having put on a formal shirt, or heaven forbid – work trousers, I’m struggling to get myself into an erstwhile set for an upcoming “formal” (sigh!) event. Of course, special occasions like these deserve that wardrobe but it lead me to wonder if … Continue reading Is our workplace spoiling us?

A day in the life of an HRBP
Much as I hate to say this, the strategic HRBP role comes with its fair share of time sensitive transactional chores. Given the deluge of these on an erratic basis, our day can look rather messy. It is entirely possible that you walk into work with a well-planned day that pivots within 10 minutes into a … Continue reading A day in the life of an HRBP
On time off!
Earlier last month, I decided to pack my travel bag and explore more of the world. I was naive in thinking that I'd manage to keep up with my Sunday blogging. We've obviously seen how that went. Hence, I am sensibly putting aside that wild idea. I will be back post 19th October, which means … Continue reading On time off!
The problem with procrastination
Is this. I told myself I’d post every Sunday and I sit through the entire week, do nothing and underestimate the power of a long Saturday night. So come Sunday, I wake up at noon and find myself staring at the laptop for the longest hour. The result – I have a 3-word title on … Continue reading The problem with procrastination
Don’t drop the ball!
I almost forgot except that I didn’t. I was actually taking my advice from my previous post and taking time-off everything. (Honest!) But here’s the thing. Some things one must not drop the ball on. Those things have nothing to do with work, responsibilities and stuff everyone else thing you should be doing. What you … Continue reading Don’t drop the ball!
Take some goddamn time off
“In a recent survey from workforce consulting firm Right Management, 70 percent of employees said they weren't using all their earned vacation days in 2011. In addition, research from Jet Blue Airways discovered most employees leave an average of 11 vacation days on the table, or 70 percent of their total allotted time off.” This … Continue reading Take some goddamn time off
Setting up a rhythm!
I stumbled across this piece on business blogging sins a couple of days back and it left me aghast! I am guilty of committing at least 5 out of the 7 deadly blogging sins. (The other 2 are for you to decide.) So today I make a pledge to knock off the sins – a … Continue reading Setting up a rhythm!
#Tweetchat
I must admit that I am a little very late in jumping onto the Twitter bandwagon. It was only when I attended the SHRM Tech conference earlier this year that I realized how cool 140 characters can actually be. I have been kicking myself for not having focused on Twitter before and I am still … Continue reading #Tweetchat
A year older!
A very happy birthday to HRBP Story. We are 3 years old today & this calls for massive celebration! Hic! 🙂
The thing about willpower….
....is that it is really hard. For close to 2 weeks now I have been planning to write about my progress on Organization Health. Every day I tell myself that the post is going to go up on my blog the next day, and every day I procrastinate. So much so that I even spent … Continue reading The thing about willpower….
