Translated from Jannis Tsalikis’ blog entry: Achtung, Werbung! Für mehr Dynamik bei der Personalarbeit ...
It seems they still exist, the dusty HR's. Isn't it horrible actually?
Not unreasoned I am happily working as HR in the media industry for the longest. I hardly can imagine working in a different industry Why? In the communication and media branch reigns a special kind of dynamic which exists in its daily HR-work as well. More frequent personnel change, young, hungry employees, continuesly changing business aso.. It is just never getting boring. The opposite! Challenges are mastered and the next ones are waiting already. Great! Aint it?!
1. keep your curiousity: Every now and then, I unfortunately met HR's who rested on their success. Time runs differently now though. Who doesn't think further, keeps moving and stays curious about what happens in the world does not only miss out but misses the connection. Stay tuned! Sit with the trainees at the canteen. Talk with the colleagues from other divisions or with HR's from other companies (i.e. at HR BarCamp ;) Be open for and to the new digital world.
2. stay courageous: When new tasks approach your HR-Division, just say, "YES, we can!" - even if at first you have no clue how to solve the new problem. Or even better, when knowing there are a couple of things which have to be changed, just start! Without being asked by the boss!
3. accept criticism: God, it is the most difficult. The more experience and knowledge you collect, the harder it is to allow and accept criticism. Who is bold enough to admit being a fool?! No, me neither. But, the ability of self-criticism is truely turning us into a better HR. Doesn't it?
Why don't you let yourself be inspired by my words and do it like the dude in the picture. No matter where you are, get up, pose like a winner and shout out "YEAH, today is going to be an awesome day!". Then clean your table and innovatively solve a problem or task which was bugging for weeks already. YES!
