Boundaries Are Bridges, Not Walls

When we hear the word “boundaries,” it often triggers discomfort. We may picture coldness, distance, or the feeling of being pushed away. In many of our upbringings or cultural narratives, boundaries have been equated with rejection, selfishness, or a lack of love. But the truth is far more nuanced—and deeply…

The term “quiet quitting” has made headlines, sparked workplace debates, and even trended across social media platforms. Often misunderstood, it’s described as employees doing the bare minimum of their job—clocking in, completing tasks, and clocking out, without taking on anything extra. It’s frequently framed as laziness or a lack of…

“We’re Like A Family Here” – Is That A Red Flag?

“We’re Like a Family Here” – Is That a Red Flag? It’s a phrase you’ve likely heard during job interviews, onboarding sessions, or all-hands meetings: “We’re like a family here.” On the surface, it sounds comforting—a workplace where people care about each other, support one another, and go the extra…

Rethinking Rest: Why Breaks Are A Prerequisite, Not A Perk

In many workplaces, rest is quietly framed as something you earn after proving your worth. Breaks are postponed, time off is negotiated with guilt, and stepping away feels like falling behind. But this mindset misses a crucial point: rest isn’t the opposite of productivity—it’s what sustains it. When we treat…

The Best Leaders Don’t Have All The Answers—They Ask Better Questions

In many workplaces today, leadership is still associated with having complete authority, being in control, and projecting unwavering confidence. There’s an unspoken belief that strong leaders must never show weakness, always have a solution, and be the final word in every decision. But this traditional view of leadership is not…

Each year, the World Day Against Child Labour reminds us of our collective responsibility to protect children from exploitative and harmful labor.

When Independence Becomes A Shield: Understanding Hyper-Independence

In a world that often glorifies self-sufficiency, it can be easy to mistake hyper-independence for strength. We admire the people who seem to do it all — who never ask for help, never falter in public, and always find a way to solve their problems alone. They appear resilient, capable,…

Workplaces & Chosen Families: The Role Of Community At Work

Not everyone leaves home and steps into a robust personal support system. For some, especially those who have relocated for work, live alone, or are navigating strained family dynamics, the workplace can become a primary space for connection. Over time, colleagues may shift from being task partners to trusted confidantes.…

Beyond Policies: Empathy for Grief at Work

A colleague loses a loved one. They take their bereavement leave—usually somewhere between 3 to 5 days. And then, just like that, they’re back. Back to emails, meetings, deadlines, project briefs. Back to team catch-ups, client calls, and casual banter by the coffee machine. But here’s what we often forget:…
