#HRhelpdesk #IndiaHRGuide #MandeepSingh, In this episode, Mandeep Singh takes on a question every business leader believes they understand, but very few define correctly, what is an appropriate salary? Most organisations rely on salary benchmarking, percentiling, compa ratios and market data to make compensation decisions. Mandeep's point is clear, these tools are necessary, but they are not sufficient. The real issue is not whether you are paying at 60th, 70th or 75th percentile, the real issue is whether your salary actually works for the person, the role and the environment in which they exist. He explains why in today's context, compensation around the 60th percentile is increasingly becoming non-attractive. Organisations may still get people at that level, especially during a trial or early phase, but sustaining motivation and talent quality requires stronger thinking, often moving towards higher percentile positioning once stability is established. The discussion then moves into a far more practical lens, cost of living. Mandeep explains that cost of living is not a generic number. It is different across employee groups, workers, staff, managers, and senior leadership, and organisations must define what kind of lifestyle they want each group to sustain. Salary decisions without this lens are incomplete. The most powerful idea in the episode is what Mandeep defines as the “social line.” Every individual operates within a social environment, peers, batchmates, markets, and expectations attached to their skill and background. If compensation falls below this social line, organisations will struggle to attract and retain the right talent, regardless of what benchmarking reports say. The social line is not a percentile. It is not purely data. It is market sentiment, expectation and lived reality, something your talent acquisition teams understand far better than spreadsheets. This episode reframes salary as a strategic decision, one that sits at with market data, cost of living, social expectations and organisational intent. For leaders who want to attract the right talent and build sustainable teams, this is not a compensation discussion, it is a business decision.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Zanele Sabela COSATU Spokesperson, about the regulator’s warning that GEMS’s proposed 7.5% contribution hike may be financially unsound and could undermine the scheme’s long-term stability, including risks to its solvency and funding gap concerns. COSATU argues that despite these warnings, civil servants cannot continue absorbing steep medical aid increases amid weak wage growth, insisting that affordability must be prioritised and that GEMS should first tackle inefficiencies and governance costs rather than shift the burden onto members.

Ottawa is investing more than $3 billion as part of a national food security strategy. It aims to combat anticompetitive industry practices, boost agricultural infrastructure to improve access to fresh produce year-round, and address online surveillance pricing. But it isn't the first time a Liberal government pulled out the stops to make groceries cheaper or address grocery store monopolies.  Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Pascal Thériault, Director of McGill University's Farm Management and Technology Program and an agricultural economist, to discuss what it means for Canadians to have a national food strategy, and whether or not it will actually lower grocery bills.

Trumped Up Tomatoes Cost 40% More Tomatoes are about to get a lot more expensive, and most Americans have no idea why. This week, I retreat to the kitchen to make a comforting vegan tomato soup, but even there, politics has a way of finding us. The biggest inflation story in food right now isn't beef, eggs, or milk—it's tomatoes. Prices are rising fast, and policy decisions could make them climb even higher. So while we chop, stir, blend, and cook, we'll also talk about the real-world impact of politics on your grocery bill, along with the latest headlines from entertainment, current events, and the never-ending news cycle. Sometimes the best way to survive a chaotic week is with a warm bowl of soup and an honest conversation.

Inflation hit a three-year high as energy, gasoline and food prices continued to rise, according to new Department of Labor data.

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches this main point: The reward of a life on mission is worth everything you have to give.

The Great Disconnect: Record Wealth, Record Hardship The economy is supposedly thriving. The stock market is breaking records. Corporate profits are soaring. Yet millions of Americans are struggling to pay rent, buy groceries, fill up their gas tanks, and save for the future. How can oil companies post enormous profits while gas prices remain painfully high? Why are food giants reporting strong earnings while grocery bills continue to climb? Why are hotels charging resort fees and parking fees on top of already expensive rooms? And how did a modest California home that once sold for $27,000 end up costing nearly $900,000? Meanwhile, political rhetoric grows more disconnected from reality. Claims of election fraud, accusations of rigged systems, and endless partisan battles leave many wondering whether common sense has completely disappeared from public life. In this episode, Karel takes a hard look at the contradictions defining modern America: record corporate profits, record asset values, and record financial anxiety for everyday people. Has the world stopped making sense, or are we finally paying attention to how the system really works? Join the conversation and tell us what you think in the comments below.

Is your city making you poor? 

The Labour Leader is disappointed by how things are playing out for the senior police officer who's chosen to run for Parliament. Superintendent Rakesh Naidoo —the Police's national partnerships manager— has been revealed as the 13th ranked candidate on Labour's list. Commissioner Richard Chambers says he only learned of Naidoo's candidacy on Sunday afternoon, and his position is now untenable. Chris Hipkins told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he's disappointed for Naidoo, who's done everything right. He says he acted with the utmost integrity through the process, and has worked very hard to preserve the political independence of the police. Hipkins also says Labour won't be making any announcement about tax this week. The party leader revealed his candidate list yesterday. Newcomer Kingi Kiriona suggested Labour could be releasing policy on tax relief in the coming days. But Hipkins told du-Plessis Allan Kiriona misspoke, and the policy is actually about cost-of-living relief. While he can't reveal the details just yet, he can confirm it will have an impact on households. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ACT plans to campaign on reducing the cost of school uniforms at state schools by allowing a maximum of three branded items. School Board Association President Meredith Kennet recognises the high costs of some uniforms but explains that it is not a decision for the Government to be making. "It is a school board decision on how a school is governed and the policies that are in place, so it's not actually something currently that the government really should be saying," she told Andrew Dickens.

Jackie Jantos, CEO of Hinge, says the cost of living is reshaping dating habits, with daytime meet-ups becoming more common and traditional drinks dates becoming less popular as younger people look for cheaper ways to meet in person.She argues that AI should help users express themselves rather than speak on their behalf, rejecting suggestions that AI is making online dating less authentic. Hinge has introduced a range of AI-powered tools, including features that help users improve profiles, start conversations and reconsider potentially offensive messages before sending them. Jantos defends these interventions, saying they encourage reflection rather than creating a filtered version of users online.Jantos says it "breaks her heart" that some young people are turning to AI chatbots for emotional support instead of confiding in friends, arguing that difficult conversations and human connection remain essential parts of building relationships. She points to research showing high levels of loneliness among Gen Z and says younger generations are spending significantly less time together in person than previous cohorts.Jantos also discusses the wider dating-app industry, arguing that Hinge is continuing to grow despite broader challenges across the sector. She attributes that growth to the company's focus on helping users to meet in person and ultimately leave the app altogether.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Jeevan Nerwan Editor: Olivia Baron03:18 Gen Z loneliness and isolation 07:19 Hinge's growth compared to other dating apps 09:18 Growth in the UK and the gender balance 15:20 AI features on the app and authenticity 32:37 The younger generation's relationship with AI 36:12 Age restrictions on social media usage 39:20 Tinder and other Match Group apps 42:25 Is “Designed to be deleted” at odds with the business model? 46:20 The cost of living crisis is leading to growth in daytime dating as opposed to traditional bar dates 54:46 Her career in tech, including roles at Spotify

Trump Is Losing. Why Does America Feel Like It's Losing Too? Donald Trump keeps taking hits. His proposed projects are stalling. Legal troubles continue to mount. Poll numbers are sliding. Key initiatives face growing opposition. Even on major international issues, his answers seem increasingly detached from the realities Americans face every day. By many measures, Donald Trump is losing. But if Trump is losing, why does it feel like America is losing too? For millions of Americans, life is becoming harder, not easier. Housing costs remain out of reach. Grocery prices continue to strain family budgets. Political divisions are deeper than ever. Washington remains gridlocked while everyday people struggle to build stable, secure lives. So what happens if Trump's setbacks don't translate into victories for the rest of us? Today, Karel examines the uncomfortable reality that one politician's losses don't automatically become America's wins. More importantly, we'll explore what real success looks like for ordinary Americans—and how we can create it regardless of who occupies the White House. Are we trapped in a cycle where everyone loses? Or is there a path forward that neither political party seems willing to discuss? Join the conversation.
