Human Rocks Is...

What comes to your mind when you hear "Human Rocks"?

Let's play word associations:

A human who "rocks". Someone who is strong as a rock. A rock to climb.

Or a huge rock made of smaller stones forming a perfect balance: just pull out one - and the rock is transformed, or even crushes.

Or maybe you can remember a Japanese proverb, saying "The pebble in the brook secretly believes itself to be a precious stone".

In short, that's what Human Rocks is all about.

It's about people. Cherishing them, caring about them, being gentle and compassionate.

It's about achievement. Putting a goal, being persistent, and learning as you go.

It's about attitude. Being positive, grateful, and confident.

Are your HR policies guided by these concepts? Do they reflect the needs and challenged of all groups of your employees? If the answer is "yes", you are probably one of those companies that can set an example of inclusion, and enjoy the loyalty of your employees.

At the same time we almost never speak about the situation childless colleagues might find themselves in, nor we even consider their state of mind and a myriad of issues – personal and social – that they combat with d

Remote working: the distance is longer if you're childless

Yet another lockdown. You are alone. You've been home for days. You go out to take a breath of fresh air and buy some food. But more than anything else, you go out to see people not on your PC screen, and to talk to someone, if you're lucky. You're working hard to keep away the destructive and painful thoughts about your fate that brought you here, in the silent world of childless people.   - While your colleagues in Zoom complain about their kids they can't properly handle. - While your colleagues’ children are there playing in the background of the PC screen during online meetings. - While the children of all the  neighbours  are on home schooling, and you can hear them screaming and laughing, - You are always there: you're one in five women without children.   Isolation makes you live over your story of loneliness and grief. As often happens, it is a really painful story that you live with every day and that you cannot share with anyone, or can  just  share with
