In this article, I discuss how far we've come in the field of People Operations / People & Culture, and what those approaches mean, as compared to the old, outdated Human Resources guide. I also discuss my own people-first methodology, that filters into every facet of my work. Finally, I mention why the industry shift is a good one, for all businesses, of all sizes, across the globe, and, more importantly, the people working with them.

I wanted to write this article as part of celebrating SA, and chat about what I believe makes my home such a special place in this world.

If there's one major, overarching take-away I have from the past few consecutive years of full-time work, it's that getting to know your teammates is priceless.

Does brand loyalty transfer generationally? That was the key question I hoped to address with my Master of Business Science dissertation, and now that it's been published, I'd like to share the results with you.

If I've had one saying that's been a guiding force in my life, it's that personal growth is a lifelong journey. I can say that remains as true today as it did when I began using it years ago.
