There was a time when money was the primary reason for changing jobs. It still is; but with the rising focus on quality of life and career charting, the trend has started showing shifts. Taking salary cuts for a job that is a ‘better fit’ is no longer a rarity. The reasons for taking ‘less … Continue reading “Would you take less money and in exchange for what?”

But we knew this all along
Remember the training programs that we walked out thinking - 'I didn't learn anything radically new. Much of it I already knew. It was a good reminder session however.' Turns out this is a big win for the facilitator. If the participants go out saying that they 'knew this all along', there is a much … Continue reading But we knew this all along
When managers leave
When a person in a position of power leaves, there’s always unrest. When the individual is well loved, there’s reluctance to see them go and apprehensions of what is to come. When the exit is desired by the masses, there’s hope that things will change for the better yet fear that at least he was … Continue reading When managers leave
Good sense of humor appreciated!
I love it when job descriptions are created by real people; not the run of the mill series of words strung together in the most professional way. A hint of crazy here and there would catch anyone’s attention. Don’t ask me why I was browsing through job descriptions, but I was and meticulously so because … Continue reading Good sense of humor appreciated!

Don’t be lazy!
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!
The ones who should be making Resolutions
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
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
Diversity & Inclusion
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
Press On!
(An open letter to the employee who inspired me today.) Dear XYZ (name changed to maintain confidentiality), I logged in today to find you being publicly denounced by many for an idea that you had pitched and put into action. You were one of the few who dared participate in our idea generation contest and … Continue reading Press On!
