The first day of the new financial year in Australia and New Zealand (and no doubt elsewhere too), and my LinkedIn feed is once again full of posts by friends and colleagues announcing new promotions. Firstly, huge congratulations to everyone celebrating this significant and no doubt well-deserved achievement! But for those individuals who missed out this time around, remember - it doesn't mean you're not good at your job, or that you're not valued by your employer. Nor is it a reflection on who you are as a person, either in or out of the workplace. I hope all managers take a moment to remind their team of that and thank them for their contribution. After all, success is, in many respects, a team effort. That's not to take away from the celebrations or individual achievements, but rather to ensure no one feels left behind, and encourage everyone to keep aiming high. #celebratesuccess #teamwork #employeeappreciation

Reflecting on Journeys: A Farewell Today marked the final chapter for a dear colleague, who shared tales of their professional expedition – a journey marked by growth, learning, and the warmth of a supportive workplace. As we listened to stories of camaraderie and the invaluable lessons imbibed, it underscored the essence of a workplace that fosters both professional and personal development. In the midst of farewells, a senior colleague stirred our collective aspirations. Addressing me directly, he envisioned a future triumph: "Arjun, picture this – the day you conquer the UPSC exam. That moment will etch itself in our memories forever. Imagine an IAS or IPS officer from our midst; it'll be a moment of profound pride for us all." These words resonate as more than encouragement; they encapsulate a workplace that not only celebrates present achievements but actively nurtures dreams for the future. Here's to the departing colleague, the shared stories, and the anticipation of the incredible journeys yet to unfold. 🚀 #Farewell #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerJourney #FutureLeadership #DreamBig #SupportiveWorkplace #proudmoments

What a night it was! Last week, I had the pleasure of joining my amazing colleagues at our company's 50th Anniversary Staff Awards Gala. The event was nothing short of spectacular, as everyone came dressed to impress, radiating elegance and charm. It was heartwarming to see the camaraderie and sense of pride as we celebrated half a century of achievements and growth together. Amidst all the festivities, there was a subtle reminder that resonated deeply with me. As professionals, we all strive for excellence and work tirelessly to achieve our goals. And while compensation is important, the genuine appreciation for our efforts is truly invaluable. Managers, remember that recognizing and acknowledging your team's excellent work is like adding fuel to their motivation. It inspires them to do even more, go above and beyond, and create a positive impact on the organization and their own professional growth. So, let's not forget the power of a simple "thank you" or words of appreciation. Let's foster a culture of recognition and support where everyone feels valued and recognized for the dedication they bring to the table. Together, we can continue to achieve great things and pave the way for an even brighter future! #CompanyAnniversary #GalaCelebration #RecognitionMatters #Appreciation #Teamwork #ProfessionalGrowth

Missed all chances to share here the experience of winning this Silver Stevie Award for HR Professional of the Year, but I guess it's not too late to wrap it up with everything 2023 meant to me: a journey of learning, growth, and overcoming limits. Some of the lessons I learned this year are: 1. Growth is a personal journey, but it is strongly influenced by the people around us and the context we choose to be a part of. My career really took off when I decided to leave a context that was no longer helping me grow. 2. Investing in relationships is the key in everything we do. Building trust is hard but worthwhile, as the people around us become companions in facing challenges and celebrating success. 3. It is important to take time to unlearn — letting go of old ways that might hold us back from adapting to the dynamic professional environment and all the changes the workplace faces. Without this, we might resist change, thinking it's not needed when, in reality, it's essential for our growth and the success of the business. I am thankful for all moments, for all achievements, big or small, but most of all, I am grateful for the incredible people around me. Here's to a happy and fulfilling new year! 2024, bring it on!

As an HR consultant focusing on the attraction, hiring, and retention of employees, I'm known for a few key strengths 🌟. One of them is bringing the right people and practices to the table, for any HR-centric, organizational-development, or change management program or process. It's what a consultant does. 🤝 How we do it, is where the rubber meets the road. 🛣️ Flash to bang, I can do an 'audit' of a division, a process, or a program in less than 2 weeks, depending on the organization size, the project scope, and the number of people involved. In short, I start each and every working relationship with an audit. And that terrifies everyone, from CEOs to CHROs to general staff. 😱 So, it's not really in the execution; it's in the name. I've come up with a dozen or so ways to never say the word audit. For my fellow consultants and HR folks in the trenches, here's my New Year's present to you: 🎁 💡 Strategic Organizational Analysis: Instead of 'auditing', focus on conducting a comprehensive organizational analysis 🔍, delving deep into the company's HR practices and processes. My approach is tailored to each client, ensuring a unique understanding of their specific needs and challenges. 🔥 Integrated Engagement Programs: I specialize in creating both internal and external engagement programs 🤝 that go beyond mere assessments. By intertwining key HR practices, I extract the essential data needed to foster meaningful change or construct vital initiatives. ⚔ Collaborative Consultancy Approach: Recognizing the importance of diverse perspectives, I advocate for bringing in additional consultants and third-party accountability groups 🌐. This isn't just a rebranding of an 'audit'; it's a deeper, more collaborative investigation into what an organization truly needs to thrive and show tangible results. 🔢 Result-Oriented Solutions: In my line of work, results are paramount 🎯. My strategy revolves around not just identifying areas for improvement but also implementing effective solutions and demonstrating real progress to stakeholders. 💥 Partnership with companies like, Top Employers North America: Depending on the scope, I may partner with full-service companies like Top Employers North America 💼. This is a company that is gaining momentum in the US. They provide valuable data analysis, comparing and contrasting HR practices from each company across various industries globally. More than just a 'badge', this ensures that you not only meet but exceed industry standards. Data-Driven Insights for Industry Excellence: Utilizing the insights gained from comprehensive organizational analysis, my team and I guide companies to not just meet but excel in their industry standards 📈. Using a data-driven approach, comparing your organization’s practices with the best in the field. Try using a holistic approach 🌐 identifying not just problems but also the opportunities that lie within your existing structure and practices. Need help? Let me know.
