Workwise with Naukri naukri.com

So, you've given your all at work, putting in your best effort for top-notch results. But, here's the thing – no one came up to you and said, "Hey, great job!
No words of encouragement or a raise during appraisals either and this happens repeatedly, not just once.
These situations can make you feel undervalued like you're not doing well or your presence doesn't matter to the company. Moreover, feeling undervalued can even lead to serious health issues like anxiety. 
In this episode of Workwise with Naukri, we have discussed how you can navigate through this feeling of being undervalued with Sonal Kapur Sinha. She's the Head of Human Resources at Esme Consumer and has been around the block in different industries for almost two decades.

Smriti Irani, the Union Minister for Women and Child Development in one of the Rajya Sabha sessions said that menstruation is a natural part of a woman's life and should not be considered a handicap hence specific policies for granting paid leave may not be necessary.
This sparked a big discussion. 
Supporters, including Kangana Ranaut, agreed, suggesting such leave might not be essential. Conversely, critics like K. Kavitha from BRS condemned the remarks as ignorant. 
In this episode of Workwise, we covered this discussion with  Kalpana Sachdeva and Souniya Khurana. Kalpana is the Regional HR Director for Asia at Unique Logistics International and Souniya is the Co-founder & CEO of an award-winning new-age media and creative content company WYN Studio.

NR Narayan Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys, suggested that the youth of the country should work 70 hours a week for India's development and this sparked a big discussion. In today's world, where the emphasis is on smart working and tools like GPT are streamlining tasks, reducing work hours, and encouraging individuals to use their time for upskilling, the question arises: does a 70-hour workweek align with the current discourse on efficiency, work-life balance, and professional advancement?
To delve deeper, we spoke with Rajneesh Singh, CEO of Simpli Group, to explore the feasibility, benefits, and drawbacks of such an intensive work schedule.

We have all celebrated milestones in our career journeys and also waded through rough waters but it takes only an email to define that SINKING feeling when you lose the sense of everything that you have built in your career.
An email that says "You are being laid off!"
With the anxiety and uncertainty the biggest and the most relevant question that takes up space is "What do I do next?"
To answer many such questions we interviewed  Sonica Aron, serving as the CEO of the HR consulting firm MarchingSheep. Boasting a twenty-year plus experience in Human Resources, Sonica has contributed her skills to renowned organizations such as Phillips, Vodafone, and PepsiCo.

So, you've nailed all the previous rounds, and now you're at the final stop – the interview! What should be your game plan?

Hence, in this episode, we spill the beans on how you can ace a job interview with Saurabh Deep Singla, the Chief HR Officer at UpGrad.

Office politics is something we've all experienced, and sometimes it can be tough to deal with.  People don't always agree, and there are clashes, making you wonder if the arguments are genuine or if there's a hidden reason.
On another note, many of these disagreements are just based on our perceptions and could have been avoided through better communication. 
Hence, in this episode, we decoded the dynamics of office politics and how can you navigate through it with Geetanjali Pandit, an award-winning and bestselling author, columnist, and a TEDx and global keynote speaker.
