What’s the metric that defines the success of a team? Is it productivity levels, cycle time or velocity? In many ways, this question parallels the metrics tracked at the national level.   For instance, while India often measures its progress through #GDP— Gross Domestic Product—Bhutan has pioneered a different approach with its emphasis on #GNH — Gross National Happiness. This contrast highlights a crucial point: success can be defined in various ways, and sometimes, the most meaningful metrics are those that prioritize human connection and well-being over mere numbers. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🌟 In my own experience within a demanding workplace, I learned firsthand how empathy in leadership can redefine success. My boss stood out in an industry often driven by deadlines and metrics by prioritizing human connection through daily 15-minute fun sessions and buddy check-ins. Initially, I was skeptical about these practices; with project deadlines looming and an ever-growing to-do list, it felt counterproductive to carve out time for fun. Yet, my boss had a mantra that resonated deeply: “𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠.” This simple statement encapsulated the essence of his leadership style and challenged my preconceived notions about productivity. 𝐀 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 💡 As I began participating in these sessions, I noticed a significant transformation in our work environment. The atmosphere shifted from one of stress and competition to one of collaboration and camaraderie. During one memorable trivia game, we shared fun facts about each other, breaking down barriers and fostering a sense of belonging. I learned about Pallavi’s passion for hiking and Raj’s hidden talent for cooking. These personal revelations deepened our connections and made us feel more like a cohesive team. As I progress in my career, I carry these invaluable lessons with me. Just as Bhutan's GNH prioritizes happiness over GDP, I believe that 3empathy is not just a checkbox; it is a fundamental approach that can transform teams and organizations. How has empathy shaped your experiences in the workplace? Let’s start the conversation! #EmpatheticLeadership #TeamCulture #WorkplaceWellbeing #LeadershipLessons #GrossNationalHappiness

🌍 Embracing the Art of Calm in Rishikesh: A Journey Beyond Professional Growth 🌿 As HR professionals, we’re often tasked with guiding and supporting others through change, growth, and challenges. But how often do we pause to nurture our own inner well-being? I’m currently in Rishikesh, India, participating in a yoga teacher’s course, immersing myself in practices that cultivate mental clarity, resilience,and calm. In today’s fast-paced world, a calm and centered mindset is essential, not only for personal health but also for effective leadership. This journey is a powerful reminder that self-care and inner peace are as vital to our roles as technical skills. As I continue on this path, I encourage all professionals, especially those in HR, to seek experiences that expand their minds and hearts. After all, when we’re at our best, we can bring out the best in others. #MindfulHR #WellBeingAtWork #ProfessionalGrowth #YogaInRishikesh #Leadership #akshiyogashala

Jaipuria Institute of Management congratulates Dr. Manisha Seth and Dr. Dr Shalini Srivastava for publishing a research paper titled "A study on abusive supervision – turnover intention relationship: a mediated moderated model of voice behaviour and workplace friendship" in the Leadership & Organization Development Journal (ABDC B Category). This study based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory examines the role of employees’ voice behavior in the form of a mediator, linking abusive supervision (AS) and turnover intention. It also investigates the moderating role of workplace friendship in the mediated AS–turnover intention relationship through voice behavior.

Someone I know , based abroad , recently had to tend to a critical family health situation in India . This required him to base himself out of India for a while His organisation went above and beyond to facilitate this and the impact on this individual was immense given how it helped him focus on a difficult personal situation This is an example of people centricity in action. All the talk of people centricity in an organisation boils down to lived experiences like this. Can an organisation take a decision balancing the needs of a colleague with that of the organisation? When we say an organisation is people centric, essentially that boils down to how individuals behave with each other especially those in people management responsibilities: are they empathetic, do they listen, can they lend support during a difficult time etc Even when difficult decisions have to be taken , can they be done with appropriate empathy? Senior leaders need to walk the talk , create and enable a people centric culture and put the right policies in place and address poor behaviors, but in the end, people centricity is evidenced ( or not) by the myriad actions that are taken in an organisation, over a sustained period of time Culture is built through a combination of talking the talk and walking the walk

As we celebrate Dussehra, the festival symbolizing the victory of good over evil, it's the perfect time to reflect on how HR can drive success by aligning with strategic business goals. Lord Rama's journey reminds us of the importance of perseverance, wisdom, and righteousness. In HR, this translates to leading with integrity and strategy.

Championing Ethical Leadership – Uphold values and foster a culture of integrity. 2. Aligning HR with Business Strategy – Ensure HR processes support the company’s long-term goals. 3. Driving Innovation – Embrace change initiatives and technology to make HR a key business enabler. 4. Prioritizing Employee Well-being – Create an engaged, empowered workforce that feels valued.
