She started her career as a receptionist at vCommission, while it was transitioning from a family-run business to an organization. Over time, she learned how to build things from the ground level and then found opportunities in the HR sector. Her career trajectory is truly inspiring. She has 9+ years of experience and has held roles like administration, planning initiatives to build a people-centric organization, mentoring, HR management, to now leading the HR team.

Sandra aims to build a better workplace that gets people excited to come back to work.

Episode Highlights:

Why experimenting with things and then implementing, rather than imposing, makes a big difference:
It’s important to make your employees feel belonged, this helps an organization and  its employees achieve goals they were set out to do.  One can do so by providing platforms where employees can share their ideas, opinions, and feedback.

Strategically aligned culture vs a misaligned culture:
Every member of the hierarchy is responsible for maintaining the work culture. If one part of the hierarchy breaks the flow, it can result in breaking the organization down.

Positive employee experience can lead to organizational outperformance:
Establishing open communication and building a bond with the employees at different stages in their life cycle can help increase a positive employee experience.

Transforming HR through technology:
Removing duplication and redundancy, technology has helped plenty of businesses scale up. Sandra is pro-technology when it comes to performance management.

Education < Experience:
The key to making the right hire is to look at the intent of the candidate and passion for the work over an educational background.
