I felt compelled to take a break from my daily LinkedIn scrolling to acknowledge something really important.   As a knowledge/creative member of the workforce, I value my time and contributions in ways other than simply money.   For instance, does the organization value the work product more than just measuring "hours served?" Do they understand that I'm not simply a machine that gets turned on at 8am and off at 5pm? Do they accept that sometimes my efficiency is 20% and in others it's 200%? Is good work better than hard work?   What about outside the office, whether physical or virtual? Do they empower me to do my best work while I'm engaged and give me the space to be my best self in my personal time? Do they engage me to be part of something bigger than myself and provide value to my community?   Does the organization genuinely value and appreciate all the members of the team?   In other words: do they value my humanity? I'm fortunate enough to have found such an organization. Thank you to everyone at Nysus Solutions for making me feel like part of something better.

"As of now, you have been successful with your knowledge, but that won't get you anywhere!" This is especially true in a world where disruptive technologies, shifting consumer behaviors, and global uncertainties require constant innovation and agility. Even if you believe you have acquired knowledge, you cannot become complacent if you strive for advancement. The ability to excel often requires additional competencies beyond those previously required. My personal situation: when I wanted a promotion, I thought that I had to develop my previous skills. A fallacy: because sometimes you need completely different skills that you didn't see yourself. You should therefore not resist new learning impulses or if those familiar to you want to develop you in a new direction. Without acquiring new knowledge, I would not have developed from an SAP consultant to a project manager. And from there, not to a leadership position in IT. My wide range of responsibilities means that even now there are new learning areas, so the growth zone eventually becomes a comfort zone, which is still a long way to go. Thank you to all those who have given me these decisive impulses.

Wouter van Heddeghem thank you for this post. it makes sense. 90 days of notice period! Does it make sense? In 1996 notice period used to be 30 days. (labour law mandate) But someone (in India) was really in love with his employees so they made it 60 days. Love kept blossoming and they made it 90 days!! Really? Well, I said in "India" because I know in US it is just 15 days or in some states it's "employment at will" which means you can walk out anytime. So why in India we are so obsessed with long notice period? Someone will say - knowledge transition (KT). I will say no KT can take more than two weeks. Someone will say client's project. I would say those very clients let their employees go within 15 days! I tell you the real reason - it was just to make exit more difficult. Did it work? No, infact it made it more messy. Now people have more time in hand after notifying their employer so they keep interviewing and better their offer. This means if someone has 3 offers in hand, he is going to ditch two companies! Those two companies after getting ditched couple of times will try to hire only those candidates who are serving notice period. And here we go! We just started an artificial war right there! By making notice period 30 days we can definitely reduce this multiple offer mess. What do you think ?

Today is my last day with the team at Help Scout 👋🏼 As I look back on an incredible 18 months with the Talent Team, People org, and all the Hiring Managers and Interviewers, I can't help but think about what I've learned with this fantastic group of people. Being a Recruiter in North America from 2020 to 2023 was a roller coaster. Some days, the pressure was on with job openings piling up that needed to be filled immediately. On others, the challenge was to make an impact despite low recruiting volumes. I've got a lot to share, but I'll focus on 3 key lessons I'm carrying forward: ❤️ 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁: Learning to speak openly and warmly is something I'll carry with me, no matter where I go. Being thoughtful with candidates and compassionate with team members is not just good manners; it's good business. 🎯 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱: The skill of zeroing in on what really matters will be invaluable as I step into a new work culture. Despite the noise, it's crucial to focus on what truly counts. 🌱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲: The tech world is constantly changing, and so must we be. My ability to adapt swiftly and balance strategy and operations will continue to be my asset, especially in fluctuating markets. To everyone at Help Scout, thank you for making me better in so many ways. While the last year has had its tough spots for many of us, it's in these times that the best in us shines through.
