The HR gamut has undergone tremendous change over the past years with a seismic disruption taking place in the employee-employer dynamic.

The Importance of Peer Recognition

Peer recognition, also referred to as peer-to-peer recognition is when employees publicly recognize each other’s contributions, achievements, skills or talent. This type of recognition deserves distinctive attention as it eradicates the employer-employee power dynamic and facilitates a free-flow of appreciation among colleagues. A peer has first-hand experience of the job, they know its challenges and understand the responsibilities that come with it. Hence, a compliment from a colleague is accompanied by a more valuable and rewarding perception which, in turn, uplifts people’s happiness at work and, by extension, their engagement. Limitations of a Top-Down Approach to Recognition Organizations conventionally rely…

Traditional R&R programs have failed to promote these more nuanced values as aspects of performance among employees.

How to Build a Fairer Workplace

The onset of March marks two important junctures- International Women’s Day as well as Women’s History Month. Evidently, this presents a significant opportunity in the corporate world to assess Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the workplace as an effort to strengthen the underrepresented groups that form an integral part of your workforce. Inherent social biases including gender, age, ethnicity, caste, sexual orientation, and economic status often deteriorate cultural health; biased favoritism breeds resentment toward favored individuals including the employer.
