The start of a nw year is usually a great opportunity to look back at last years important and exciting events and highlights. From me as well, happy new year, I wish you a healthy and successful 2014. And I am looking forward to great topics and discussions.
Behind all achievements of 2013 stood important people and deciders - partially innovators, whom we follow and whose trends we are admire and/ or copy. Here I go, presenting you my personal Top 5 of the HR-Influencer of 2013.
Sirka Laudon (Leader Personnel Development, Axel Springer AG): Right at the beginning of 2013 I received an important impulse regarding Learning in Company. In line with the HRBarCamp in February she held a session about Guerilla Learning – for me, this is an innovative path for spreading knowledge within a company. I wish to see more of these creative and innovative approaches, past the conservative ways. Just dare something - sounds almost like a great resolution for 2014.
Behind all achievements of 2013 stood important people and deciders - partially innovators, whom we follow and whose trends we are admire and/ or copy. Here I go, presenting you my personal Top 5 of the HR-Influencer of 2013.
Thomas Sattelberger (former Chief HR Officer, Deutsche Telekom AG): The working world as we know it is changing. With it also the organisation of companies, the leadership of employees and last but not least the recruiting and personnel development as well. Obviously most companies are still ducking this matter, hiding behind blinkers. Doing so they miss the change and will have to live with the consequences eventually. Thomas Sattelberger put the future of HR-work into German words with these central theses. This is why he is one of the leading figures of innovatibe HR-work of 2013.
Robindro Ullah (Head of Employer Branding and HR Communication, Voith GmbH): Work in Human Resources is not always dead serious, actually there is a grand amount of humor with it. And sometimes it is appropriate to laugh at oneself. Looking at the current HR-scene of Germany one could believe quite easily HR ought to be about a bunch of grimmy, humorless HR's. That this isn't the case at all shows us Robind together with Maité Jagau and the Human Resources Tumblr, where countless HR-topics are caricatural and encountered with a great portion of humor. Jannis Tsalikis (HR Director, VICE Germany GmbH): Speaking about humor - the Golden Mangel Award was definitely one of the Highlights of the HR-year 2013. (even cited and talked about in newspaper. Which is why I count Jannis to one of the distinguishing people of last year. Together with Henner Knabenreich he initiiated the award. Unfortunately, not all companies were able to show the same humor. This being said, I wish for more humor in 2014.
Thorsten Petry (Professor, Wiesbaden Business School): Thanks to the rather controversial HR-Blog Ranking does Thorsten Petry count to the more critical HR-people of the last year. But the ranking tightened the Blogger.Community and made us reflecting our blogs more intense, fiying the negatives (faster).
So what do we take from the HR-year 2013? It is simple: more bravery for unconventional means, more innovating drive, more humor and more reflection of our work - actually quite good achievements.
Before all shout out and claim incompletion or even feel insulted - these are my personal Top 5. What are yours? I am looking forward to reading about your personal Top 5 HR-people of 2013.
