Dear Readers of HR Vista,

Like a flowing river, vibrance and unhindered flow are the signs of a healthy culture. Since the dawn of civilisation, the most enduring cultural practices have emerged out of human curiosity and propensity to embrace change. Language, beliefs, aesthetics, and attitude - waves of change have constantly challenged their status quo, and the most refined cultural ethos has emerged out of the unlikely implosions. Devastating wars have given way to the most robust ethical codes, the greatest natural catastrophes have inspired the most sustainable approaches, and the most telling failures have inspired the most excellent winning strategies. That is how human cultural greatness has evolved.

Let me take a poetic detour and share Rabindranath Tagore's priceless words in this regard:
"When old words die out on the tongue,
new melodies break forth from the heart;
And where the old tracks are lost,
New country is revealed with its wonders".

So, to reiterate, Cultural progress is like a phoenix tale- the grind of time will reduce the best of our practices to ashes and out of those shambles, greater hopes and aspirations will rise. Corporate Culture is no exception, and even at our workplaces, today's best practices must face the most stringent scrutiny tomorrow. As HR practitioners, our role is to place our ears on the rail tracks of the future and sense the sweet tremors of the train of upcoming changes.
