As conversations around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) dominate corporate agendas, most organisations struggle to turn policy into meaningful action.

How ‘quiet cracking’ is fraying workplaces

3 days ago | hrkatha.com | Radhika Sharma

In corporate corridors across the world, a crisis is unfolding in silence. Whilst the Great Resignation and “quiet quitting” dominated headlines, a more insidious phenomenon has taken root: “quiet cracking”. Unlike their predecessors, these employees do not storm out or brazenly shirk responsibilities.

The premium beverage bar seemed like a brilliant idea. Artisanal teas, freshly ground coffee beans, and sparkling water on tap would surely boost morale at the Bengaluru corporate office.

Acer India’s Bhasker Bhandary has a theory: in an industry obsessed with algorithms and automation, the real competitive advantage lies in radical empathy. His experiment—transforming a technology firm’s culture through policies such as paid menstrual leave and mental health support—has attracted considerable attention and early positive results. As talent wars intensify across India’s tech sector, companies are deploying increasingly creative retention strategies.
How zealous boundary-setting can sabotage careers in the modern workplace

1 week ago | hrkatha.com | Radhika Sharma

In an age of burnout and blurred work-life boundaries, saying “No” has become a celebrated mantra for self-care. The ability to protect one’s time and mental bandwidth is often heralded as a sign of strength and balance. Yet, like any powerful tool, it can become a double-edged sword. When “No” turns into a reflexive shield, it may protect immediate well-being but risks creating barriers to growth, visibility, and opportunity.
Why counting learning days no longer adds up in the workplace

1 week ago | hrkatha.com | Radhika Sharma

In the fast-paced digital era, measuring workplace learning by ‘days’ feels as outdated as using a sundial to track time. For decades, “learning days per employee” served as a comforting benchmark of professional growth, paraded on HR dashboards as evidence of development. The formula seemed straightforward: allocate two to three days annually for classroom training, and employees would emerge better equipped. But in today’s agile, hyper-connected workplace, this legacy metric feels antiquated.
