4. Term Of The Day 📚
Pari-passu
📖Definition: A Latin phrase meaning “equal footing”—used in finance to describe situations where two or more assets, creditors, or obligations are treated equally, without preference or priority
📊Why it matters: It ensures fairness in structuring deals, debt repayments, and claims during insolvency or when multiple stakeholders are involved. It affects how obligations are ranked and how liabilities are shared
💡Example: In a bond issuance, if two classes of bondholders are pari-passu, they’ll receive payments or recoveries equally if the issuer defaults; neither group has seniority over the other
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “Forever” by Dom Dolla & Kid Cudi
Genre: EDM / Pop-Rap
Why it hits: It blends euphoric dance production with Kid Cudi’s signature melodic, introspective touch—nostalgic but fresh, great energy for both mood and momentum
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.
