4. Term Of The Day 📚
Liquidity Premium
📖Definition: The extra return investors demand for holding assets that are harder to quickly sell (i.e., less liquid)
📊Why it matters: It compensates investors for the risk and inconvenience of reduced marketability—higher for real estate or small-cap stocks, lower for Treasuries or blue-chip names
💡Example: A less-traded corporate bond might yield 5%, while a similar, highly liquid government bond yields only 3%; the 2% gap is the liquidity premium
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver
Genre: Country
Why it hits: A timeless feel-good anthem—nostalgic vibes and sing-along warmth make it perfect for grounding yourself before tackling the day
The best HR advice comes from those in the trenches. That’s what this is: real-world HR insights delivered in a newsletter from Hebba Youssef, a Chief People Officer who’s been there. Practical, real strategies with a dash of humor. Because HR shouldn’t be thankless—and you shouldn’t be alone in it.
