Are you able to personalise? A friend complained to me about one of her co-workers. This IT-consultant lives around 100 kilometers from the office, and his daily commute is two times ninety minutes. When the project team is working overtime as a deadline is approaching, he is always the first one to leave. “I have to drive a long way, so I am leaving. See you tomorrow”. My friend considered...

Guided Tours at Zukunft Personal Europe 2018 During Zukunft Personal Europe 2018, I guided one international tour on each day of the event. Zukunft Personal is a huge event, and some visitors like it to see some highlights with a guide. I like very much to be a tour guide, and I hope to do more tours next year! As not everybody was able to come to Cologne, or to join the tour, I would like to...

HR trends and the opportunities for learning organisations On June 7, 2018, I gave a presentation about “HR trends and the opportunities for learning organisations”. I tried to cover 18 trends in 45 minutes, and as the beamer lost connection a couple of times, the actual presentation time was less. I realise it was probably a bit too much for some people in the audience to digest, at the end of...

From my experience it is hard to exchange visions or brainstorm about the future when certain nouns and verbs are being used incorrectly. Sometimes they are not even known at all. Yet we all talk HR. So based on trending HR articles I made a dictionary of 60 words that possibly cross your path when you are rethinking your HR. It might help understand each other. I ended part 1 with HR...

The newly appointed people operations manager of a fast growing scale-up (120 people today) called me. She had just started, and if I could give some advice. We drank a coffee in Amsterdam. Below a short summary of my tips. 1. Don’t hire an HR manager My first message was: I would not have hired you. Why would an organisation with 120 people hire their own HR manager?

Working as the HR Director of Destia, a leading Finnish infrastructure company, it’s my duty to understand the global HR trends and best practices, and to consider what impact or opportunities these present with regards to our work and business.

HR can learn a lot from marketing and market research. Employees are consumers, and why would they behave a lot differently in the workplace than in the marketplace? Last year we used the terrific material of trendwatching.com on the 2017 consumer trends as the basis for our article: 2017 consumer trends and the opportunities for HR. Time for an update.

Selection process often still very poor In many organisations the quality of the selection process is still very poor. The unstructured interview is still the most used selection instrument, and there is not a lot of evidence that interviews are a good instrument. The selection criteria are most of the time not based on thorough data analysis, but more on lists made by HR and managers based on...

Today’s world and is extremely chaotic. People are swept into monotonous cycles that take their minds away from what’s truly important. They get lost in the sea of unimportant details, and they lose their overall life focus. Why is Meditation Important? Wake up, prepare for work, eat a quick and often unhealthy breakfast due to the lack of time, work, work, work, go home, take care of...

Do you know what frustrates thousands of applicants who aspire to work for well reputed organisations? It’s having all the right experience, credentials and qualifications and yet not being able to secure a job. Why is does it happen so often? What’s really holding them back? It’s simple. It’s the recruiter’s and hiring manager’s bias that’s holding good candidates back. However, I don’t blame...

Digitisation is everywhere, whether you like it or not. It disrupts the way we live and the way we work (together) – sometimes even subconsciously. Like in every change process there will be resistance, that might feel like it is delaying what needs to be done. However, when you can convince your toughest opponents, they will become your best allies. In this article,  I will share my views on...

Internal communications is changing slowly. We still see many newsletters and magazines with the usual content (Interview with the CEO, Our office in Dubai, We ran for charity in Zurich and The secret hobby of ….).

Do you really trust your employees? Do your employees really trust you? The fashion is, to communicate that you really trust your people, and that you are more a servant leader, leading from behind, than an authoritarian charismatic leader, that people should follow. Your personal coach has said it more than one time: back off! Do not tell your people what to do, but listen, reflect, and...

“Get Rid of the 9-grid” Tom, what do you think of the 9-grid? The 9-grid is typically one of the HR tools designed in the last century. I think it was designed by McKinsey for GE, probably together with the famous principle: always get rid of your bottom 10% low performers. I have used the 9-grid a lot, and I have spent hours in sessions with senior management (“calibration meetings”),...

If you want to create confusion in a group of consultants, you should start a discussion about the purpose of organisations. There is always someone who starts explaining (with an underlying tone of “why do I always have to explain the basics?”) what a purpose is, and what the difference is between purpose, mission, vision and values. For a moment it seems to be clear, but that never lasts...
