In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Carlo Steenvoorden, EVP HR People Services, Analytics & HR AI at KPN, to unpack how a 100+ year old telecom company is moving from legacy HR systems to a fully conversational AI powered employee experience.Carlo explains why KPN made a bold decision to declare that the future of HR interactions is conversational, with systems pushed to the back end and one intelligent interface in front. He shares how reducing human led HR queries from €15–20 per case to cents per prompt unlocked both massive efficiency gains and a better employee experience.Most importantly, he breaks down the real transformation behind the technology, from rebuilding HR team capabilities, to adopting product thinking, to deciding where AI belongs and where humans must stay firmly in the loop.

Interesants fakts: Pasaulē katru mēnesi tiek veikti vairāk nekā 5 miljoni novērtējumu. (jautājums, kas ar tiem notiek pēc tam?:)  Sarunā ar Elīnu Pelčeri – sertificētu Patrick Lencioni Six Working Genius vienīgo treneri Latvijā, ienirstam tēmā, kas organizācijās ir aktuāla, bet, iespējams, pārāk bieži ignorēta: kāpēc gudri, motivēti cilvēki sistemātiski izdeg. Es zinu, ka organizācijas daudz lieto un meklē dažādus rīkus, ko izmantot, lai saprastu realitāti. Lūk, es mēģināšu jums palīdzēt.  Elīna lieliski izskaidro, ka Working Genius nav kārtējais personības tests, bet uz to vairāk var raudzīties kā uz komandas produktivitātes rīku. Tests izpildīšana neiedod risinājumu visām proēmām, bet var iedot valodu, ar ko sākt." Elīna min: „Tas parāda, kuros darba procesos man dabīgi nāk enerģija un kuros es sistemātiski strādāju uz sava resursa rēķina."  Rīks palīdz ieraudzīt šos šauros pudeles kaklus kā realitāti par ko var sākt atklāti sarunāties. „Bieži vien tests iedod tādu legalizāciju par šo runāt. Kad mēs redzam visi to bildi vienādi – sākam risināt."  Šajā epizodē apskatījām: Ko Working Genius mēra – un ar ko tas atšķiras no personības testiem un kompetenču modeļiem Trīs zonas – ģenialitāte (dabiskā enerģija), kompetence (apgūta prasme) un frustrācija (kas iztukšo) Komandas karti – kā ieraudzīt, kur komandā ir šaurie pudeles kakli un kāpēc kaut kas sistemātiski „buksē" Ģenialitāte vs. kompetence – kāpēc cilvēks var būt izcils kādā darbā un vienlaikus no tā sistemātiski izdegt Sapulču dinamiku – kāpēc vienā sapulcē bieži runājam sešos dažādos līmeņos un kā to mainīt Kad tests nepietiek – konflikti vērtību līmenī, dziļāki psiholoģiski iemesli un kad vajadzīgs mediators vai supervīzija, koučings Praktiskus piemērus no Elīnas prakses – pārdošanas komandas, jaunas nodaļas izveide, atbalstītāju pārslodze Kā izmantot rīku motivācijai – ne tikai diagnostikai, bet arī darba dizaina pārskatīšanai un darbinieku noturēšanai Satiec Elīnu TrainingLab.  Uzzini vairāk par: https://traininglab.lv/genialitates/

Soft Skills haben nichts mit Kuschelkurs zu tun: Sie stammen ursprünglich aus dem Militär. Heute sind die sogenannten “weichen Fähigkeiten” wie Empathie und Teamfähigkeit unverzichtbar – weil sie dort ansetzen, wo KI an Grenzen stößt. Aber: Wie misst man sie sinnvoll? Und wie kann HR diese Kompetenzen gezielt fördern? In dieser Folge erfahrt ihr von HR-Expert:innen, welche Soft Skills Teams im KI-Zeitalter brauchen – und ob der Begriff noch zeitgemäß ist.Quellen:https://www.personalwirtschaft.de/news/personalentwicklung/wie-kann-hr-soft-skills-messen-199076/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_skillsCheckliste Soft Skills: https://www.personio.de/hr-wissen/downloads/fragen-bewerbungsgespraech/Toygar Çinar auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tcinar/Selma Kuyas auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/selmakuyas/“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 sit down with Ilja Bitterling, VP Skills Intelligence & Performance Management at Deutsche Telekom, to unpack how large organizations can finally make skills data usable, trusted, and decision ready.Ilja explains why skills intelligence is not about inventories, but about creating a shared language that connects workforce decisions, performance outcomes, and future readiness. He breaks down how Deutsche Telekom moves from fragmented skill signals to clear, comparable insights leaders can actually act on.Most importantly, he shares why performance management and skills cannot live apart anymore, and how organizations that connect them move faster, allocate talent better, and avoid betting the future on outdated role assumptions.

Šajā epizodē turpinu sarunu virzienu, ko aizsāku iepriekšējā tikšanās reizē, kurā runāju par apziņu, jēgu un to, kāpēc ar “tehniskām pārmaiņām” organizācijās vairs nepietiek. Mēs dzīvojam laikā, kur stress, spriedze un izdegšana nav tikai personīgs stāsts — tā ir kolektīva realitāte. Un cilvēki darbā ienāk ne tikai ar CV un lomu, bet arī ar savu iekšējo pasauli, jautājumiem par piederību, vērtībām un dzīves jēgu.Mana viešņa šajā epizodē ir Daiga Katrīna Bitēna — klīniskā un veselības psiholoģe, RSU pētniece un doktorantūras studente, kura pēta garīgo dimensiju onkoloģijas pacientu dzīvē, un vienlaikus strādā arī ar organizācijām, palīdzot ieraudzīt, kā “iekšējā dzīve” ienāk darba vidē.Esmu ļoti priecīga par šīs sarunas rezultātu, jo šķiet, ka izdevās viegli izrunāt, brīžiem nesaprotamu un sarežītu tēmu un par to īpašs paldies Daigai. Mēs runājam par to, ko patiesībā nozīmē garīgums (un ko tas nenozīmē), kāpēc šī tēma kļūst aktuāla tieši tagad, un ko HR un vadītāji var darīt praktiski, lai organizācijās būtu vairāk jēgas, veseluma un cilvēcības un tas nav tikai “good vibes only”. Skaidrs, ka garīgums nav instruments, lai apietu grūtās emocijas, konfliktus un realitāti.Daži citāti un no sarunas:“Garīgums būtībā ir cilvēka iekšējs dziļš process"“Mūsu primārā komūnas sajūtas veidošanas vieta mūsdienās ir darbs.”“Garīgas prakses mērķis ir stiprināt cilvēku spēju piedzīvot realitāti tādu, kāda viņa ir.”Epizodē pieminam arī autorus un idejas, kas palīdz skaidrot un veidot valodu par šo tēmu: Frederiks Lalū (Frédéric Laloux), Lisa Miller, Otto Scharmers. Šī ir saruna par briedumu mūsu cilvēkos un organizācijās un par to kā atvērt telpu dažādām pieredzēm, nezaudējot robežas. HR PODCAST ir sarunas par tēmām, kas aktuālas personāla vadības ekspertiem, CEO, vadītājiem organizācijās, ikvienam, kam svarīga darba vide. Raidieraksts, kurā tiekamies ar cilvēkresursu vadības ekspertiem, profesionāļiem, praktiķiem. Uzklausām viedokļus un pieredzes, kā arī uzdodam jautājumus par jaunākajiem rīkiem, kādus lietot, lai vēl labāk sniegtu stratēģisku atbalstu biznesam. Sarunas vada Ilze Medne.Rubrika CEO dienasgrāmata: Sarunas ar vadītājiem un uzņēmumu CEO, par viņu ikdienas pieredzi esot vadītāja amatā. Par līderību, organizācijas attīstību un sadarbību ar HR.

In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, host Robin Bailey and Al McDonald sit down with Stephanie Hollingshead, CEO of TAP Network, for a candid conversation about leadership, burnout, and the power of collaboration in Canada's tech sector. Stephanie shares how TAP Network has evolved from a small group of competing tech companies into a national community and infrastructure for people and culture leaders. What began as a conversation about competing for scarce talent has become a model for how collaboration, trust, and shared learning can strengthen an entire industry. The conversation dives into the often-unspoken reality of leadership roles, particularly for people and culture professionals who sit in the uncomfortable middle of organizations. Stephanie speaks openly about burnout, isolation, and the emotional weight of roles that require balancing advocacy, execution, and trust from all sides. Robin, Al, and Stephanie explore why collaboration works even among direct competitors, how trust is built over time, and why peer communities provide critical support when leaders are navigating layoffs, uncertainty, and rapid change. Stephanie also reflects on stepping into the CEO role, what surprised her about the broader leadership ecosystem, and why support and mentorship are far more available than many leaders realize. The episode closes with a reflection on long-term impact, leadership responsibility, and the importance of building systems and communities that future leaders can rely on when navigating pressure, change, and complexity. You'll hear about: Why TAP Network is more than a professional network, it's industry infrastructure Collaboration versus competition in the tech sector How trust is built among peers and direct competitors Burnout and isolation in people and culture leadership roles Sitting in the uncomfortable middle of organizations Why peer community matters during layoffs and organizational change What surprised Stephanie most after becoming a CEO Leadership support systems many people overlook Where Canadian tech does people and culture well Where equity, diversity, and inclusion still need bold change Why small efforts aren't moving the needle Building leadership systems that outlast individuals We talk about: 00:00 Introduction and welcome 01:00 Stephanie's background and leadership journey 03:00 What TAP Network is and why it exists 05:00 Collaboration as the foundation of the community 07:00 Choosing leaders and facilitators who energize the sector 09:00 Collaboration versus competition in tech 11:00 Building trust among peers and competitors 13:00 Burnout and the emotional weight of people and culture roles 15:00 Sitting in the uncomfortable middle of leadership 18:00 Community as protection against isolation and disengagement 20:00 Stepping into the CEO role and seeing the ecosystem differently 23:00 Mentorship, generosity, and leadership support 25:00 What tech companies get right about people and culture 27:00 Where equity, diversity, and inclusion still fall short 30:00 Why bold change is required to move the needle 33:00 Staying anchored through listening and connection 35:00 The signature question, planting trees for the future 37:00 How to connect with Stephanie and TAP Network Connect with Stephanie LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniehollingshead Website: https://tapnetwork.ca/ Connect with Us LinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Vincent Lecerf, Executive Vice President, Human Resources at Orange, to unpack how purpose, diversity, and skills become real business levers inside a fast moving telecom and technology environment.Vincent explains why serving communities is not brand marketing, it's an operating model, from safer phones for children to digital education for seniors, and why HR must integrate DEI directly into strategy, governance, and incentives, not treat it as a side initiative.Most importantly, he shares how skills expiration, inclusive leadership, and AI acceleration are forcing CHROs to rethink reskilling cycles, leadership accountability, and how change happens with people, not to them.

Want a clear view of where HR in Ireland is heading and how to prepare your team for what's next? Bill Banham sits down with Alison Hodgson, Market Director at CIPD Ireland, to map the practical priorities that will define people leadership in 2026: target operating models tuned to strategy, a smarter approach to productivity in hybrid work, cultures that enable creativity, and talent systems built on lifelong learning.Alison shares why operating models belong at the top of every HR agenda, walking through how structure, role design, skills, and workflows must link to the “book of work.” We dive into the messy middle of performance and productivity, where outcomes matter more than presenteeism and thoughtful in-person moments can supercharge collaboration. We also dig into Ireland's unique context—an agile, open economy balancing flexible work with rising commute costs—and how that shapes retention, skills development, and the everyday realities of leading teams.A major focus is capability building beyond HR. With a vast population of non-HR people managers in SMEs, CIPD's group affiliate access and AI-powered resource hub equip managers with templates, playbooks, and just-in-time guidance for performance reviews, tough conversations, and change. We spotlight the Feb 13th CIPD HR Awards in Ireland, where standout entries demonstrate data-driven baselines, measurable impact, and sustained outcomes—and note the streamlined pathway to the global People Management Awards. Plus, we preview the April conference on people, purpose, and performance, featuring case studies, international voices, and practical tools you can put to work.If you care about building resilient teams, narrowing skills gaps, and turning culture into a real performance advantage, you'll find tactics and examples you can use today.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Vincent Dupuis, Vice President HR Digital & AI at Airbus, to unpack how organizations should decide what to automate, what to augment, and what must be protected as AI reshapes work at scale.Vincent explains why augmentation, not replacement, is the real story of AI at work, using powerful analogies to show how AI should extend human capability, not hollow it out. He breaks down how Airbus thinks about freeing people from low value tasks, while deliberately protecting deep expertise, critical thinking, and safety critical knowledge.Most importantly, he shares why ethical governance, human in the loop learning, and robust knowledge roots are non negotiable in environments where quality, trust, and safety define success.

Šajā HR Podcast epizodē tiekos ar organizāciju psiholoģi Gitānu Dāvidsoni, kura šobrīd turpina studijas Rīgas Stradiņa universitātē psiholoģijas doktorantūrā un dalās savā pieredzē par savu pētījumu, kas top un par to, kā cilvēku uzskati par apziņu un realitāti ir saistīti ar psiholoģisko funkcionēšanu.Šī ir tēma, kas darba vidē ir klātesoša, bet par kuru joprojām runājam piesardzīgi - apziņa, uzskati par realitāti, jēgas jautājumi, dažādas garīgas pieredzes. Nav iespējams atnākt uz darbu un savu būtību atstāt mājās. Organizācijas daudz runā par labbūtības nozīmi darbā, izdegšanu, cilvēku neiesaistīšanos, vērtībām, motivāciju un tas viss ir saistīts ar un par cilvēkiem, kurus mēs gaižām slikti pazīstam. Gitāna šajā epizodē dalās ar sava topošā doktorantūras pētījuma atziņām procesā. Pārrunājām svarīgas atziņas, ko ir vērts ņemt vērā:Tas, kā cilvēks domā par sevi, par apziņu un par realitāti, tieši ietekmē to, kā viņš uzvedas, pieņem lēmumus, uzņemas atbildību un spēj sevi vadīt.Cilvēki neredz pasauli tādu, kāda tā ir — mēs to  redzam tādu, kādi esam mēs paši un no kādas pieredzes uz to raugāmies.Tas kļūst īpaši būtiski organizācijās — domājot par procesiem, kultūru, vadītāju lomu un cilvēku attīstību.Runājām par to:kāpēc cilvēki arvien vairāk meklē jēgu arī darba vidēkā uzskati par realitāti ietekmē psiholoģisko labbūtību un pašvadībukāpēc cilvēki, kuri reflektē par sevi un savu vietu pasaulē, bieži ir autentiskāki, izjūt lielāku atbildību par darbu un savu dzīvi — un ko par to saka zinātnekā organizācijās runāt par tēmām, kas ne visiem ir viegli izprotamas un bieži tiek uzskatītas par sarežģītām (garīgums, garīgās prakses, apziņas stāvokļi)

“Mēs nevaram tikai teikt: ‘pieņemiet mūs', ja pašiem nav gatavības pieņemt citus. Integrācija nav vienvirziena kustība.” Šajā HR Podcast CEO epizodē viesos Inese Kalvane – Sabiedrības integrācijas fonda sekretariāta direktore, ar ilgstošu pieredzi valsts pārvaldē. Doma par sarunu ar Inesei radās vadot "Dažādībā ir spēks" balvas pasniegšanas ceremoniju, kad satikāmies pirmo reizi. Tajā laikā medijos ceļoja dažādi apgalvojumi par SIF darbības nepieciešamību un budžeta pielietojumu. Man tikai nepieciešams jautājums, lai es vēlētos meklēt atbildi :) Nolēmu uzaicināt Inese uz sarunu, lai uzdotu jautājumus, kuri interesē mani un, iepējams, interesēs arī tevi.Man ļoti patika šīs sarunas cilvēcība, siltums un tiešums, jautājumu kompleksitāte un godīgums atbildēs. Integrācija ir liels jautājums ne tikai šodien, bet arī nākotnē, kas, iespējams, skars katru darba vietu. Paldies, Inesei par atvēlēto laiku šai sarunai! Mēs runājam par:– sabiedrības uzticēšanos laikā, kad ir tik daudz pozīcijas, kas šo uzticēšanos šķeļ– par darbu pārvaldē un Ineses motivāciju tajā– kā stiprināt dažādības kompetenci un uzdot neērtus jautājumus– dažādības vadību kā ikdienas lēmumu, ne tikai dokumentu organizācijā– SIF lomu sabiedrības saliedēšanas jautājumosSpilgtākās atziņas no sarunas:· Mēs ļoti ērti jūtamies, kad sadalāmies – ‘mēs' un ‘viņi'. Un satraucošākais nav nezināšana. Tas ir – atteikšanās vispār domāt par otra skatpunktu.· Bīstami ir tas, ka mēs ne tikai nevēlamies atzīt to, ka esam dažādi, bet pat pārstājam sarunāties · Saliedētība ir valsts drošības pamats   HR PODCAST ir sarunas par tēmām, kas aktuālas personāla vadības ekspertiem, CEO, vadītājiem organizācijās, ikvienam, kam svarīga darba vide.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Jayney Howson, SVP Global Workforce Skills & Talent Readiness at ServiceNow , to unpack why “talent readiness” has become a burning platform for companies trying to keep pace with AI, platform adoption, and customer transformation. Jayney shares how ServiceNow builds skills for both its 28,000 employees and the millions of practitioners who power ServiceNow implementations inside the world's largest enterprises, including 85% of the Fortune 500.She explains how ServiceNow built ServiceNow University, an AI powered, hyper personalized learning platform designed around the concept of the “University of You”, where every learner's journey adapts to their context, their role, their skills, and their career aspirations. Jayney breaks down why minimum viable duration, skills profiles, and embedded learning experiences are replacing traditional course catalogs, and why democratizing training (including making it free) unlocks capability at global scale.Most importantly, she shares why transparency, trust, and psychological safety matter more than ever as skills shift, roles evolve, and automation changes the nature of work, and why, if we do this right, the future of work becomes more human, not less.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with David Sperl, Head of HR for Advanced Visualization Solutions at GE HealthCare, to unpack how HR earns real business credibility by shipping outcomes, not PowerPoints, inside a heavily regulated, science driven environment.David explains why AI literacy must move from theory to hands-on practice, how microlearning and shared baseline tools help drive adoption, and why leadership advocacy is essential to scale change across technical, clinical, and commercial teams. He breaks down GE HealthCare's four stages of AI adoption, how communities of practice create demand pull, and why unlearning outdated mental models is now harder than learning new ones.Most importantly, he shares why user experience and friction removal are the real unlocks for AI in HR and business, and why the future of change isn't “change management”, it's change agility.

CanWest Trade Shows, where a male exotic dancer suffered a knee injury after slipping on stage. While the Canadian courts ruled one way, we break down why California's "ABC Test" would view this "artistic pursuit" very differently.Whether you are running a trade show, an accounting firm, or a trampoline park, this episode is a masterclass in why you cannot simply "waive" away negligence. We discuss the critical differences between invitees and trespassers, why the Workers' Compensation system is actually an employer's safety net, and why—in California—that independent contractor is probably legally your employee.In this episode:The ABC Test: Why doing business in California means almost everyone is an employee (especially if they are central to your show).Premises Liability: From body paint to carpet types, who is responsible when the stage gets slippery?Waivers vs. Reality: Why you can't contract out of ordinary negligence, no matter what the paper says.Civil Suit vs. Workers' Comp: Why staying out of civil court is worth the insurance premiums.Disclaimer: The hosts of this podcast are licensed attorneys, but they are not your attorneys.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Kristen A. Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture at Roche Diagnostics UK & Ireland, to unpack why neurodiversity may be the single biggest untapped advantage in the post-AI workplace.Kristen explains why most organisations are sitting on “free upside”, talented people already inside the business who are not thriving because work was designed for one type of brain. She shares why only ~25% of employees feel psychologically safe, and why the line manager is the biggest determinant of whether neurodivergent employees thrive or merely survive.Most importantly, she reframes neurodiversity away from labels and diagnoses, and toward practical, human questions, how do you work best, what gives you energy, and what conditions help you shine, and why asking those questions changes performance, engagement, and learning at scale.
