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!
This may be specific to the Indian IT industry but it is something is absolutely disagree with. Very recently, I heard one of my friends rant about how her Project Manager had sent out a mail to the entire department announcing the delivery of their project 20 days ahead of time. This manager got tremendous … Continue reading At what cost?
This isn’t the age of laziness. If anything, it’s the age of constant running and stumbling. Being rushed has its own fallouts but being lazy has been out of fashion for a long time now. Unfortunately, the HR folks (including myself) have been lazy for a while now. Why do I say this? I don’t … Continue reading Don’t be lazy!
You no longer have 90 days to transition. In this age of instant gratification and intense competition, waiting for the 90th day to reach your breakeven point is driving a stake in your career. Back in the days when changes weren’t happening at the rapid pace as today, a 90 – 100 days plan cycle … Continue reading 90 is a luxury
The 7%-38%-55% rule has been around for a long time now, yet the number of people who actually pay any attention to it is dismally low. There is a reason why Margaret Thatcher took on a voice coach and a lot of our leaders around the world sound the way they do. We are programmed … Continue reading Sounding like a leader
I love the beginning of the year. It’s the time of the year when you are fooled into thinking that you could set unrealistic goals and achieve them too despite having failed year on year. By now, I’ve read and heard a lot of people all around the globe set resolutions for the New Year. … Continue reading The ones who should be making Resolutions
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
These are my favorite words after ‘disruptive’. After all, these are top trending words, especially after Satya Nadella’s ancient goof up. Women empowerment is not a new focus area. Nor is diversity and inclusion. It’s been talked about to death and yet the statistics don’t reflect what we’d like them to. With women making up … Continue reading Diversity & Inclusion
