Imagine this: it’s Friday evening, and most people have already left for the weekend. But on the fourteenth floor, a small group is still deep in conversation: the CEO, CFO, legal team, and a couple of bankers. A merger is being planned, but the HR isn’t in the room. HR finds out on Monday. Although HR was not asked, they were informed that they have ninety days to complete the merger, during…
Imagine this. It’s a Tuesday afternoon, and an HR Business Partner is sitting across from a department head, doing something that happens in organisations every year, usually around quarter 3 or quarter 4, filling out the 9-box. Nine square grid with performance on one axis and potential on the other, and within the next forty-five minutes, they will quietly decide who is seen as a star, who is…
It’s a Monday morning. You log in and see nearly 175 new job applications waiting in your inbox. At first glance, everything looks normal. The resumes are polished. The language is strong. The candidates seem qualified. But as you keep reviewing, a pattern starts to emerge. The phrasing feels similar. The structure repeats. Something feels off. A Gartner survey shows that nearly 4 in 10 candidates…

You have to interview 27 candidates for the role in a single day. But it’s nothing to worry about, as you have an AI system working alongside you. In many organisations, AI is beginning to function like a parallel workforce, taking on…
Hey usually an event. A team lunch, a fun Friday, or the classic ice breaker where we learn surprising facts about colleagues. These moments are fun, but let us be honest, a pizza party cannot fix confusing processes or meetings that should have been emails. Real engagement is shaped less by occasional events and more by how work actually happens every day. Events are not the problem. They can…
Hello and welcome to SHRM Global Radio. I’m Neerja, and today we’re talking about a topic that many high‑performance workplaces are guilty of…well, I don’t want to say ignoring, but some do kick the can down the road, until they cannot anymore: human sustainability . How do we keep the bar high without burning people out? How do we build cultures where ambition and wellbeing strengthen each other…
Welcome to SHRM Global Radio, I’m your host Neerja, and today we’re diving into one of the most talked about, surveyed, analyzed, and occasionally misunderstood, words in the workplace - employee engagement. Employee engagement is that magical metric that shows up in board decks and makes leaders lean forward and say, “ Why did we drop three points in Q3? ” The one that somehow turns into an…
Welcome to SHRM Global Radio, and today we’re diving into one of the biggest disruptions in the modern labor story: the rise of choice-based employment and the rewriting of the employee contract. Yes, you heard that right. The world of work has officially walked up to the traditional job, patted it gently on the shoulder, and said, “ It’s not you… It’s us. Actually, no, it is you. ” For decades,…
