  • Adapting HR policies to meet local workforce needs in global companies

    As workforces become more distributed and diverse, the future of HR lies in its ability to adapt without fragmenting, and to standardize without erasing what makes people different. This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about trust. And trust, more than any policy, is what ultimately fuels performance, innovation, and long-term growth.

  • HR 2.0: The human engine behind India’s Orange Revolution

    Tomorrow's leaders will no longer be strategists or managers. They will be culture curators, narrative weavers, and meaning-makers in the workplace. They will need to navigate the divide between data-driven insight and human empathy, guiding ambiguity and drawing on creativity and innovation.

  • Turnover: A double-edged reality of organizational life

    Organizations need to realize that retention for the sake of retention is not always beneficial. Not everyone who stays adds value, and not everyone who leaves is a loss. Instead of chasing low turnover numbers, the focus should shift to purposeful retention—retaining employees who are engaged, ethical, growth-oriented, and who actively contribute to a positive work culture. Sometimes, allowing the wrong fit to leave, or even encouraging it, is healthier than forcing a relationship that no longer works.

Today, contradictions are not transitional — they are structural. Record profit and record lay-offs happen simultaneously in the same company. Employees are promised flexibility — and simultaneously tracked by productivity software. These are not problems awaiting resolution. These are coexisting, opposing truths that define our reality.
