Anyone else done menopause completely natural?

Anyone use Warby Parker’s blue light lenses? Thinking of getting these to reduce my eye fatigue from staring at computer screens all day.

What are the healthcare options like in India? I'll be needing regular care and I'm not sure what the insurance providers are and if care works differently in general.

Does anyone have success conceiving with low AMH? I am 30 yo and my AMH is 1.11, RE says it's low for my age.

Do you know what today is, today is the day I am now allowed back to office as our vaccination requirement was dropped? I still can’t go to our office in NYC and possibly some other jurisdictions and we do need to follow client rules to visit them.
Have any of other Big 4 made changes?

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤

🤬🤬These freaking mosquitoes are killing me. I hate that bug spray needs to be included as part of my going out routine.

Does anyone have suggestions for fragrance free options?

Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

What's your favorite thing your benefits have covered?

I wanted to start a thread. What vitamins / supplements / medications are you taking for your menopause symptoms? I’m supposed to take Estradiol pills twice per day but sometimes am horrible at remembering. I should be taking D3 per my Doctor but when I ran out earlier in the year I never bought more. The same goes for my multivitamin although I’m sure I really need one! I wonder if I should just use natural remedies like Black Cohosh, but that didn't work well for me.

Anyone here have thoughts on Helium (HNT)? I’ve been a fan for a while now

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

Hi there. I am planning on freezing my eggs but am getting confusing information through the various outlets at my employer as to what is covered. This would be elective egg freezing. Has anyone at Accenture done this?

Just venting - In my 50 and tired of monthly periods with no end in sight. According to blood/hormone tests I’m pre/peri menopause. I hate the drier skin, hormone changes, thinning hair and weight gain (no matter how I adjust my diet and exercise the scale will not budge). Fortunately the one symptom I don’t have is hot flashes. Sigh. Does this get better at any point?

Tricare Q:

Vets using Tricare with a family. I’m out and can use Tricare with the VA, but my wife and I each use our company offerings for our family; which obviously come at cost. Is it worth it to switch to Tricare? Has anyone done this and can share details? Positives/negatives?

Is it possible for someone with anxiety to have a career at MBB? Anyone currently in this situation? How do you cope?

Has anyone here tried pregmune?

Any advice with anxiety before calls/door pulling? Never happened before but it’s crippling now.

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Any recommendations for a destination to escape to and safely work remotely for a while? Any deals?

Has anyone transitioned from consulting to a recruiter role? Willing to chat? I’d be curious to hear why you made the switch and if you are happy with the decision

Typical day - laptop crashed and restarted multiple times. EYOS is not working property, crashed and had IT helped but still not fixed. Mercury took forever.

Does anyone use MacBook for work? Does it work well with excel?

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

I have always filled the Timesheet under "Unassigned task" with Non billable hours as 9hrs. But from today it is showing that Non Job Activity should be less than 4 hrs. Hence i am unable to fill timesheet. Please help me what to do?

Anyone from North Highland People and Change here? Do you do strategy/actual consulting or just staff aug work (like I’ve heard from most general posters)? Satisfying work or no?

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?

Hey Fishies need a recommendation on an international coaching certification. I am a senior HR professional with SPHR and SHRM-SCP certification. I am interested in coaching for career advancement. Thank you for your recommendations

Need to design a compensation framework for a small but growing professional services firm (consulting and marketing for farm and food businesses). Anyone have access to a sample framework or any tips? TIA

Hello! I work in change management and am assigned to an IT POM transformation. I’m still in my fact finding/change readiness analysis phase, but struggling with the senior leadership team. Does anyone have any lesson learned or best practices in eliciting feed back from senior leaders? think SVP and above? I thought about focus groups, but their time is limited. Also, survey response rate tends to be low for these guys. Any ideas???

We are seeing more pushback from employees on working 40 hours. We offer flexibility (wfh), 11 holidays and another 3 wks PTO. Seems like a good gig, I think, at 40-45 hrs. Anyone seeing this too?

If one is looking to get into the org development or human capital space, what positions should I look up? Masters degree and some part time experience here!

Anyone ever move from an internal role to one with external clients? I manage a learning function for a line of business and pondering the next move: industry, startup, consulting...

Do different companies have a methodology dedicated to technology change? Like tech implementation? Or is it specific to the product? Or high level to org change?

obligatory post: how will COVID impact human capital? The types of work we do, factors in making a healthy organization, etc.

Are women always catty in this line of work? Came from IT/tech and my experience was entirely different…

Anyone here exit from consulting into HR M&A Role, preferably at tech/fintech? I’d love to connect

Thoughts on including certificates like Prosci or SHRM-SCP in an email signature? I don’t like it right after my name, but I’ve seen some other alternatives (like putting the digital badge icons) - what looks the best?

CIPD vs. SHRM?

My team (People & Org Advisory) is hiring a Director, based in the Bay Area. Shoot me a note if you’re interested!

Is the way to train managers changing? I’m familiar with a cohort model where a group of new managers meet in person, and then go through some classes together over a period of 2-6 months. Is there a better or new model that people are using?

Would anyone who works in P&O at PwC like to chat? I came across a role that’s pretty much a dream job for me (I’ve worked in proj management hence my title, but my background is in business psych). Thanks in advance :)

I’m in Deloitte human capital and want to eventually (but sooner rather than later) move to industry doing internal talent/people stuff. My coach recommended getting SPHR or equivalent. Thoughts?

Hi All, I’m thinking about getting certified in change management but not sure if I should go the Prosci route or CCMP route. CCMP is a lot cheaper compared to Prosci but would it measure up just the same?

I guess it would be similar to the discussion of the SHRM-SCP vs SPHR.

Thoughts on Willis Towers Watson vs. Mercer for compensation consulting?
