Right now you're thinking if that's a made up commodity, and does it particularly merit a mention? Well, it gets better! The  #workplace  selfie well and truly exists. It's been around for a while, and I must tell you, it's growing as a trend. Many of my closest pals, and even cousins have this habit a clicking 2-3 selfie...

Employees who seem heavily engaged and totally enchanted by the brand, and love coming to work, every single day.  Sounds ideal, doesn't it?  The definition of an employee in today's context isn't just about knowing thousand names by heart. It's more about connecting with everyone in a direct manner and determining what makes them tick, what ticks them off and their ambassadorship value for the brand they associate with.  In an ever-competitive market,  where human capital is not just an entity , perhaps the most important one to allow an organization to sustain on the long run -  Employee Engagement . There are many instances where engaged employees seldom disassociate with a brand, and cases where ambitiously driven individuals join a company on an impact-to-impact basis.  Quick tips to gauge the engagement leve...

I sometimes wonder what can be so drastic on the internet, that it makes someone cut short his/her life just because of the agony one has to go through! Let's dive deep into what cyber bullying is all about, and how a certain level of shaming can be the fuel for someone to do something as drastic, as driving themselves towards the death rattle. Cyber bullying is a form of rebuttal or rebuking over the internet. It generally involves a lot of difference in opinions and complemented messaging, which drives animosity, hatred and jealousy towards a person. It can sometimes get extremely personal and lead to character vilification.  Cybe...

Photo Via VisualHunt He's a jolly person, and loves a little cinnamon in his milk. The  #BigFatMan  who makes the news during this time of the year, is a well marketed figure with a past, documented in children's books, and someone we've been reading and listening about through generations!  Well, let me not be the person to demystify him, for he promises to give everyone gifts, some materialistic, a few simplistic, yet totally spiritualistic.  The  #BigFatMan  is a beacon of hope ( albeit a huge one! ), who's been part of many fables, and has his own toy factory, where he and his elves work over the month of December, to decipher the wishes of over 7 billion people ( and growing! ), generally shared through telepathic methods.  Talk about data analytics, and deep learning being put into good use.  The  #BigFatMan  ensures that people thrive on hope, and in the process ensure that they perform acts of kindness to maintain...

Photo on <a href="https://visualhunt.com/re/fd9b30">VisualHunt</a> Perfect time  to connect with people, possibly one of the few instances where being with your loved ones is appreciated, and also the best way to unwind through an exotic holiday.  The season of Christmas festivities are here, and depending on which part of the world you are; almost everyone takes a holiday. Well, I say almost!  Spare a thought  for the loners, who've always looked to live life on their own terms, and held relationships dearly to themselves, yet allow their besties to live a life that keeps them happy.  While I continue to write, without taking sides, it's important to realize that the holidays holds importance to people in multiple ways. A lot look at it as an opportunity to travel and get into their  wanderlust mode , the culinary experts get into  bake mode , trekkers try to give themselves some  peaking goals , and sports enthusiast...

Boy! Have those returns multi-folded in the past years, more so within 2017.  Starting at a mere $1000 per share, the valuation of bitcoin has zoomed to $19,000 per share, all than...

Hihihi!   The screams and yells get louder every time the sound-box's volume is turned up!  Flash dances  are a great way to energize the crowd (read: employees) and keep them upbeat during the relatively slow work season. Being a part of one, can inspire and make one perspire too!  The Excitement Prior  - Just like having jitters before a doctor's visit, one just doesn't know what to expect. The presence of a large sound-box, next to the IT department isn't a daily sight. Plus, an internal dance troupe, having a discussion with their mobile devices locked to their ear drums.  Umm, what's cooking doc? The Audience Madness  - On a regular day, the hallways would be deserted; not today though. As music booms from the sound-box, peop...

It's taken close to a century for women to be vocal and come out of the closet, which is a sad for the entire human race. Years and years of silence by women achievers, on their accounts of sexual abuse and hate, have literally killed their conscience.  Silence Breakers  - A group of 15 women, who have been subjected to violence, hate, abuse and disturbing acts by certain men of the society are being collectively hailed as the #TIME  Person of the Year for 2017. I would like to believe this to be one of the boldest moves by the TIME Magazine since 1927,...
