🔥 Unveiling Corporate Double Standards: Let's Talk Real! 🔥   Ever felt like the rules of the game aren't quite fair? Well, you're not alone. Let's talk about corporate hypocrisy, shall we?

Companies can send you packing in a heartbeat, without even a whisper of notice.

The other day I was talking to a senior corporate honcho about #financialinclusion and #financialwellness. The workforce today, with tighter business situations, is experiencing a squeeze on the wallet. Some may have exigencies in the family they need to help with. Or some aspirational buy they seek for which there may be a shortfall. As the friend argued that it will breed indebtedness and possibly then, poor practices in the workplace including pilferage. This is a philosophical point. I think different. I feel,by helping bail people out through such bridge situations, you actually are not only empathetic to their needs, you prevent them from wrong-doing at the workplace. And there are ways of doing this without taking pressure on your books. Doing it the right way means thinking right and partnering right. #PrabirInsights #ThinkDifferent #Culture #NewWorkplaces PRABIR JHA PEOPLE ADVISORY
