In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we speak with Bryan Power, Head of People at Nextdoor, about leading through transformation, building a “founder's mentality” culture, and why HR must take the lead on AI adoption. Bryan shares lessons from scaling Google, Square, and Yahoo before joining Nextdoor, where he helped navigate an IPO, COVID, and now AI disruption. He introduces Project NAI-BOR (Nextdoor Artificial Intelligence Building Operational Readiness), explains how to unleash safe experimentation, and why HR can't afford to be a passenger in the AI shift. The conversation also covers mental health, hybrid work, and the next frontier of employee experience.
Fast die Hälfte aller Unternehmen in Deutschland will ihre Gehälter weiterhin geheim halten – obwohl ab 2026 Gehaltstransparenz Pflicht wird. Warum sträuben sich so viele Firmen gegen offene Gehaltsspannen? In dieser Folge schauen Susa und Laura sich die Gründe für diese Zurückhaltung an und diskutieren, welche Schritte HR-Verantwortliche jetzt trotzdem anstoßen müssen.Außerdem haben die beiden einen neuen Trend im Gepäck, der die betriebliche Weiterbildung aufmischt: die sogenannten Learnfluencer. In der schnelllebigen Arbeitswelt braucht es neue Konzepte, um Mitarbeitende fürs Lernen zu begeistern. Laura und Susa erklären, wie das aussehen kann und was Unternehmen vom Software-Riesen SAP lernen können.Quellen:https://www.personio.de/hr-wissen/downloads/webinar-entgelttransparenz-2026/https://www.personalwirtschaft.de/news/verguetung/48-prozent-der-unternehmen-wollen-gehaelter-nicht-offenlegen-194333/https://www.personalwirtschaft.de/news/verguetung/entgelttransparenz-gehalt-fair-gemacht-aber-bitte-mit-system-192432/https://www.humanresourcesmanager.de/personalmanagement/wissenstransfer-durch-learnfluencer-best-practices/“Das HR-Briefing" ist der wöchentliche HR-Podcast für Personaler:innen und Führungskräfte – powered by Personio.

“Vadītājs ir darbs – tā ir profesija. Un būt vadītājam nozīmē apsaimniekot akcionāru resursus pēc vislabākās sirdsapziņas – rūpējoties gan par cilvēkiem, gan par rezultātiem.” Tā jaunākajā HR Podcast sarunā stāsta Sandra Lāce, supervizore, vadīšanas prasmju trenere un kognitīvi biheiviorālās terapijas speciāliste.Mēs bieži sakām – vadītājam jābūt cilvēcīgam. Bet ko tas nozīmē praksē? Un kā turēt līdzsvaru starp empātiju un disciplīnu, starp cilvēcību un rezultātu?Šoreiz ar Sandru runājām par:– kā mainījusies vadītāja loma pēdējo 10–15 gadu laikā – no “komandē un kontrolē” uz pilnvarojošu un iesaistošu un kādas ir tā sekas,– kāpēc darbinieku iesaiste Eiropā joprojām ir zemākā pasaulē (tikai 13% ir patiesi iesaistīti) un kādu lomu te spēlē vadītājs;– vai organizācija var pieprasīt no vadītāja strādāt ar savām traumām, lai tās netraucē darbam;– kādas ir piecas lietas, kas, pēc Sandras pieredzes, obligāti jābūt vadītāja kalendārā – vīzija, ietvars, transformācijas spēja, regulāra snieguma vadība un panākumu svinēšana;– kas ir nobriedusi psihe un kā refleksijas prasme palīdz vadītājam būt cilvēcīgam, vienlaikus turēt robežas.

Obwohl HR-Budgets vielerorts gekürzt werden, investieren derzeit 63 % der Unternehmen aktiv in ihre Benefitstrategie – ein deutliches Signal im Kampf gegen den Fachkräftemangel. In dieser Folge sprechen Laura und Susa darüber, welche Benefits wirklich zählen, warum die Employee Experience plötzlich im Mittelpunkt steht und wie auch Unternehmen mit kleineren Budgets das Maximum aus ihren Angeboten herausholen können.Außerdem geht es um einen neuen US-Trend am Arbeitsmarkt: „Job Hugging“. Immer mehr Mitarbeitende halten an ihrem aktuellen Job fest, obwohl sie unzufrieden sind. Dabei ist eine demografische Gruppe betroffen, von der man es am wenigsten erwartet hätte. Was bedeutet das für Unternehmen – und warum ist diese scheinbare Stabilität trügerisch? Das alles erfahrt ihr in dieser Podcast-Folge.Quellen:https://www.personalwirtschaft.de/news/verguetung/benefits-zu-gesundheit-und-finanziellem-wellbeing-wer-sie-anbietet-liegt-im-trend-194223/https://t3n.de/news/job-hugging-beste-mitarbeiter-nicht-kuendigen-1703241/“Das HR-Briefing" ist der wöchentliche HR-Podcast für Personaler:innen und Führungskräfte – powered by Personio.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we speak with KeyAnna Schmiedl, Chief Human Experience (People) Officer at Workhuman, about reimagining recognition in the age of AI.KeyAnna shares how Workhuman is using AI to enhance - not replace - human connection, from just-in-time recognition to personalized career support.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we speak with Adam Holton, Chief People Officer at GE HealthCare, about the mindset shifts HR leaders need to harness AI, personalize learning, and lead with authenticity. Adam explains why example matters more than instruction, why democratized learning is changing leadership, and how AI can act like a “superpower” for HR teams.

Kaum zu glauben, aber 57 % der Deutschen arbeiten auch im Urlaub – und empfinden Stress, wenn sie sich eigentlich erholen sollten. In dieser Folge diskutieren Susa und Laura, welche Rolle indirekte Erwartungen der Vorgesetzten dabei spielen, wieso man Arbeits-FOMO haben kann und ob wir Rucksäcke mit Laptopfächern abschaffen müssen.Außerdem befassen sich die beiden mit einem echten HR-Krimi: Deepfakes im Recruiting!

“Mēs bieži runājam par daudzveidību – pēc dzimuma, etniskās piederības, bet par vecumu joprojām klusējam. Vecums nav trūkums, tā ir vērtība.”— Ināra Mukāne–Mirtezani, Pasta personāla vadības daļas vadītāja.Kad mūsu darba vide spēs patiesi iekļaut visas paaudzes? Latvijas sabiedrība noveco, un līdz 2030. gadam vairāk nekā trešdaļa iedzīvotāju būs vecāki par 55 gadiem. Tajā pašā laikā "sudraba paaudzes" darbinieki jau šobrīd veido būtisku daļu darba tirgū – ar savām vērtībām, lojalitāti. Būt vērtīgam, noderīgam - tā ir viena no vērtībām ar kuru mēs ikviens dzīvojam. Un, jo vecāki paliekam, jo spēcīgāk to izjūtam.Šajā HR PODCAST sarunā ar Ināru Mukāni–Mirtezani runājām par to, kā veidot organizāciju, kurā vecums netiek ignorēts vai romantizēts, bet uztverts kā daļa no kopīgās spēka struktūras.Mēs runājām par:– kā apzināti lauzt stereotipus par vecāka gadagājuma darbinieku “nespēju” mācīties vai pielāgoties– kā mācīšanās kļūst iespējama, ja pielāgojam tempu, formātu un saturu– kā dus "punus" no ilūzijām Ināra piedzīvojusi darbā ar "sudraba paaudzi"– kā veidot elastīgu, iekļaujošu, cilvēcīgu darba vidi visām paaudzēm– kāpēc dažādība nav tikai dzimums vai tautība, bet arī dzīves posms un uzkrātā pieredze
