So we all know the future of #work looks very different than it does today. And If you notice, all around us there is a lot of buzz & opinions going on #future success, where focusing on skills like analytical thinking, creative thinking  & other future valid skills is crucial. In line with this. Last week, had the privilege to be invited at a CHRO roundtable on topic “Tomorrow HR today: Skills for the future workplace” where the room was full of insightful discussion on current trends, best practices. In fact, the statistic that has come out of Dell Tech is that in the year 2030, 80 per cent of the jobs that will exist in the market are ones that do not exist today. That is six years away. So, what are we #training for? I think - The best thing we can learn is to be ADAPTABLE. What do you say? Thanks Anil Kumar Misra ji for having us, wonderfully hosted & enjoyed with other experts at a valuable knowledge sharing session.

The Importance of Employee Wellbeing: Innovative Approaches to Support Mental Health in the Workplace In today's fast-paced work environment, employee wellbeing has become a critical factor for organizational success. As HR professionals, it's our responsibility to ensure that mental health support is a top priority. By adopting innovative approaches, we can create a healthier, more productive workplace. Recognizing the Need Employee mental health directly impacts productivity, engagement, and retention. Stress, anxiety, and burnout are common issues that can lead to decreased performance and increased turnover. Recognizing these challenges is the first step toward fostering a supportive work environment. Innovative Approaches 1. Mental Health Days: Offering designated mental health days allows employees to take necessary breaks without the stigma associated with taking time off for mental health reasons. This can help prevent burnout and promote overall wellbeing. 2. Wellness Programs: Implementing comprehensive wellness programs that include access to mental health resources, such as counseling services, stress management workshops, and mindfulness training, can provide employees with the tools they need to manage their mental health effectively. 3. Flexible Work Arrangements: Providing flexible work options, such as remote work and flexible hours, can reduce stress and help employees achieve a better work-life balance. This flexibility can significantly improve mental health and job satisfaction. 4. Open Communication: Encouraging open communication about mental health can help reduce stigma and create a more supportive workplace culture. Training managers to recognize signs of mental health issues and to approach these conversations with empathy is crucial. 5. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): Offering EAPs that provide confidential counseling and support services can help employees navigate personal and work-related challenges, ensuring they have access to professional help when needed. Conclusion Supporting employee mental health is not just a compassionate approach—it's a strategic one. By implementing innovative strategies to promote mental wellbeing, HR professionals can create a healthier, more engaged, and productive workforce. Prioritizing mental health is essential for building a resilient and successful organization.

When managing conflicts, it’s important to consider all relevant factors and gather opinions from all sides. Consult carefully and process information thoughtfully. Allowing emotions to take control can lead to immature decisions. #beatpeace #conflictmanagement #peacekeeper

Do you know how many people failed to pay their monthly repayments, and their cars got repossessed by the banks eventually? How many people buy cars not because of their true financial capability but because of the fake hype and perceptions created by the masses? They buy cars that not only equal their annual income but more than double that. This is what we call them as societies without financial literacy. They mistakenly think of some of the brands as status when owning them, so they want to impress all the people they like and don't like. But deep inside, they know themselves; actually, they're suffering in paying the monthly repayments, though. At the end of the day, they have difficulties paying off the monthly repayments, and the bank repossessed their cars for auction, which is still not enough to repay all the loan balances. At the end of the day, they're still owing to the banks despite being without their vehicles in the garage. This is the price to pay for most people nowadays for their ignorance and arrogance, for not knowing their true financial capability but still wanting to show off out there.

Today’s world is a much more unpredictable and volatile environment than it used to be, which presents numerous challenges for human resource (professionals). Globalization and the rapid changes in technology have made it difficult for organizations to anticipate and prepare for the future. As a result, HR teams must be constantly on guard and prepared to adapt quickly to whatever changes arise. #worldHR #unprdictable #volatile #environment #HR #HRprofessional #changes #Culture #happiness #futureHR

Lifelong learning is not just about the hours spent in training rooms or the certificates that adorn our walls. It's about the wisdom we gain through experience, our mentors' insights, and the challenges that refine us. For some time, I found out that the 70-20-10 model for learning can significantly improve our professional development. The model suggests that we absorb: ➡️ 70% of our knowledge from on-the-job experiences, including overcoming challenges and learning from our mistakes. ➡️ Another 20% comes from interactions with others, such as coaching, mentoring, and peer collaboration. ➡️ The remaining 10% comes from formal education and training. This model emphasizes the value of diverse learning experiences. Real-world problems push us to innovate and adapt, while the support and advice from our colleagues provide nuanced understandings that formal education often cannot. #️⃣Have you already heard about the 70-20-10 model? #️⃣How do you incorporate the 70-20-10 model into your professional development? #️⃣Have you experienced its benefits? Share your stories ⤵️, and let's inspire a comprehensive, continuous learning culture! Azra 🌻

Boss vs. Leader: Why Leadership Matters to All Employees In every workplace, authority comes in different forms, but not all leaders inspire effectively. In this post—and accompanying video—we’ll explore the distinctions between a boss and a leader, highlighting why leadership is essential for everyone. 👉 Boss Mentality: Directive Approach: Bosses often give orders without seeking input, prioritizing tasks over collaboration. Power Dynamics: Their authority is rooted in their position, relying on control rather than inspiring teamwork. Short-term Focus: They may focus on immediate results, which can harm team morale and hinder long-term growth. 💪 The Essence of Leadership: Inspiring Vision: Leaders craft a compelling vision that motivates the team to work towards shared goals. Empowerment: Instead of micromanaging, leaders encourage initiative, fostering autonomy and creativity. Lead by Example: Great leaders exemplify their values through actions, setting a standard for integrity and commitment. Investment in Growth: They prioritize the development and well-being of their teams, providing mentorship and growth opportunities. Collaborative Culture: Leaders nurture an environment of trust and open communication, valuing every team member's input. Research on Employee Retention: A Gallup study reveals that organizations with strong leadership experience 50% lower employee turnover rates. Engaged employees are more likely to stay, contributing to a stable and productive workforce. Moreover, 70% of the variance in employee engagement is linked to managerial quality, underscoring the crucial role of leadership in retention. 💡 Why Leadership Matters: Leadership goes beyond titles; it’s about influencing and uplifting others. While a boss may demand compliance, a leader earns respect and loyalty through their actions and vision. 🚀 Embrace Leadership: Regardless of your role, there’s always an opportunity to lead. By embodying qualities like vision, empowerment, integrity, and collaboration, every employee can enhance workplace culture. Your influence matters, and together, we can all be leaders! Watch the video for deeper insights into how leadership can transform our workplace.
