Yes, It is August 25th, the day I decided to paint my thoughts with shades of HR on this site. The day I started scribbling my experiences working in HR, refined into a blog and published my first post in blogspot. Read it here (What if the employee has shown up on the first day and nothing is ready?)
That was just a try and I never thought that I will be a blogger. But sitting on my couch with a laptop and browsing through web searching for what next and thinking of adding value to my profession and my career opened me up to the idea that blogging could help elevate my personal brand.
Through out this first year of blogging the things that kept me alive on this web page is my passion for HR and eagerness to learn more and more and know what is happening in the HR realm. The experiences and knowledge that I gained from interacting with the work force has given me the strength to say things from their perspective. Of course this is an ongoing learning process that keeps me engaged all the time and helps me be up to date about changes and latest trends in the work world.
And I feel so great to see the Pro HR bloggers out there for being so supportive when I needed your help and for motivating me all the time. And thank you to all, my fellow readers, for making me believe that I can make a difference through my writing. I feel so awesome when people started telling their stories to me. They made me believe that there are real people out there listening to what I say here!
A few landmarks that I achieved in the last year is becoming a contributor to two awesome blogs Womenofhr.com and Socialbusinessnews.com.
Glad to see my blog post published in two magazines- HR Republic’s Guild of HR, Peoplematters- A Leading people building organisations
