Hi readers, The growth teams at Uber and Airbnb occasionally met over the years to share best practices, brainstorm ideas, and share observations on the startup world.

I’ve learned a ton from these conversations, and met awesome people along the way!

On July 20, 1969, the first two humans walked on the surface of the moon, with one of them remarking, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Nearly 50 years later, NASA declares “we are going to the moon—to stay,” heralding the delivery of permanent tech to the lunar surface. So we have to wonder, how do monumental feats of achievement like these occur?

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

I’ll start this list with one of my most favourite employee appreciation quotes, Brains, like hearts, go where they are appreciated. -Robert McNamara. We often talk about employee appreciation as a criteria that needs to be checked off the to-do list of management. But the importance of appreciation at the workplace goes far beyond that. Seeking appreciation is an inherent human trait.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

An employee benefits program is important and costly at the same time. It is one of the heftiest endeavors that an employer has to put money on. But such programs are one of the important channels towards employee engagement in your organization. The benefits you offer will make or break your employee's decision to work for you. So, investing in such a program is really vital or you can say it will form an important part of your organization’s foundation.

If you do not have well developed and clearly defined employee engagement strategies, it does not show positive outcomes. Poor employee engagement is a serious concern, and many employers are failing to resolve this problem. An organization’s success is directly proportional to its employees’ happiness, and how engaged they are in their work. Money is not the only driving factor for employees these days.
