At this year’s #HRIndaba, our very own Roland Glass, alongside Khaya Linyana from Discovery and Terryn Sithara Palani from CCBA, shared their experiences on why true onboarding success goes beyond compliance. It’s about creating real connections that make new hires feel valued from day one. “Despite everything we invest in employee experience, burnout and disengagement persist. It’s time we focus on what really matters – the human connection,” said Roland. 💬 Let’s rethink onboarding: Start with people, and everything else will follow. 🙌 Thank you, CHRO South Africa, for giving this crucial topic the platform it deserves! 👏 #HumanFirst #OnboardingExperience #EmployeeEngagement #KindredTech #WorkplaceCulture

💚 Mental Health Awareness Day 💚 Today, we pause to acknowledge the quiet struggles that so many of us carry. It’s a reminder to be kind, to offer support, and to create spaces where people feel safe to share how they’re really doing. We believe that mental health comes first—always. It’s about taking care of ourselves and each other, with compassion and understanding. If you’re finding things difficult right now, know that it’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone. Let’s keep the conversation going, today and every day. #MentalHealthAwarenessDay #Compassion #KindnessFirst #Wellbeing #SupportMatters #KindredTechnology
