Human Resources Management is synonymous with work (Employment). There is no way in this age and time to talk about work without unconsciously having Human Resources Management in view. So one can comfortably assume that if the landscape of work undergoes any form of change, Human Resources Management inevitably with also experience that change, more like a Siamese twin scenario. What is work (Employment)? What is Human Resources Management? Human resource management is the strategic approach to the effective and efficient management of people in a company or organization to help their business gain a competitive advantage. It is designed to maximize employee performance in service of an employer's strategic objectives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_r... Employment is an arrangement in which a person works for another person (or company) in exchange for money. You can work without being in Employment - you can be self-employed, be a volunteer, and be doing work that directly benefits you and your family (housework, subsistence farming). Looking at the definitions, one thing stands out: people doing something in return for compensation. Over a century now, the Work and HR process and practices have been carried out more traditionally concerning Adam Smith's economic principle. Economic development theory rests on the pillars of saving, labor division, and the market's vast extent. The above situation has seen a dramatic change in the last 10, but there was a quantum leap in this change following the Pandemic. Work and HR practices as we know it traditionally has evolved and is still evolving. In this episode of the Word Café, I have the privilege of discussing this situation with Lars Schmidt. Lars Schmidt is an HR expert with over 20 years of hands-on experience in the HR professional area. He is the author of the Bestselling Book, Redefining HR and is building a Bridge to the Next Generation of HR. He is a Podcast Host and the Founder, Amplify Accelerator.

Bart Scholtissen, Lars Schmidt, and Dalia Feldheim share their thoughts on emotional optimism. Bart Scholtissen Based in the Netherlands, Bart is the Founder of Back To Your Nature Coaching and is a Wim Hof Method Academy instructor. With a background in neuroscience, he earned his PhD degree in Neuropsychology. Feeling burned out in the field of science, he felt he needed to reinvent himself and get back to his core. But it was also through science that he got into the Wim Hof method. Through his coaching strategy, he helps people who don't know how to deal with the changes in their lives to reconnect to their own nature. *** Lars Schmidt is the Founder of Amplify, an HR executive search and consulting firm that helps companies build progressive people teams and capabilities. He's spent over 20 years in the industry working in and alongside a range of leading global companies. In 2015, Lars co-founded a not-for-profit aimed at democratizing access to modern HR practices - HR Open Source, a free global community of practitioners who collaborate and share learnings to prepare themselves, and their organizations, for the future of work. Part of his foundation is being centered on the employee experience and the impact to employees. This is the lens through which he sees decision-making in HR is done. *** Dalia Feldheim is an ex-CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) in the corporate world who now calls herself Chief Magnificent Officer. She's an organizational psychologist and an adjunct professor. Upon completing her army service as a platoon commander (a crash course in leadership in and of itself), Dalia studied Psychology and Business and landed her first job at P&G, the world's largest consumer goods company, and thrived there for 17 years.

Lars Schmidt is the Founder of Amplify, an HR executive search and consulting firm that helps companies build progressive people teams and capabilities. He's spent over 20 years in the industry working in and alongside a range of leading global companies. In 2015, Lars co-founded a not-for-profit aimed at democratizing access to modern HR practices - HR Open Source, a free global community of practitioners who collaborate and share learnings to prepare themselves, and their organizations, for the future of work. Part of his foundation is being centered on the employee experience and the impact on employees. This is the lens through which he sees decision-making in HR is done. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Lars' career background in recruiting How his mentor has paved his way to success What planted the seeds towards his embrace of open source Dealing with imposter syndrome Understanding the culture of skateboarding Skateboarding is an individualistic sport within a collaborative community The biggest challenges in HR today His thoughts on emotional optimism Episode Highlights: Dealing with Imposter Syndrome People look at imposter syndrome as being lacking confidence. But you can be supremely confident in your ability, and still feel imposter syndrome at the same time. You just have to believe in yourself even though you're questioning your competence. And the lack of fear of failure is the antidote to imposter syndrome. You're going to take some risks, and you know you're going to do some things that are not going to work out. But you also know you will learn from that. And you're not going to beat yourself up by that. Just chalk it up as a lesson and incorporate your learnings the next time you try something similar. You're going to fail a lot before you get it right. The Culture of Skateboarding Analogy In the culture of skateboarding, unless you're in an actual contest, but for the most part, you're competing with yourself. It's more of individual individualistic support, but everybody is supportive of everybody else. Everybody rallies around everybody else. Nobody wants to be proprietary about their tricks and approaches. They want to help each other up because you elevate everybody together. Translating this into the field of HR is why Lars got so passionate about open source projects. The Biggest Challenges in HR Today Most HR leaders are burned out at this moment in time but they're massively in demand because companies are realizing the value of HR now. As an HR leader, you have to understand the financials of the business and understand the market positioning strategic roadmap. You have to design a custom people strategy that moves all of those things forward. You're overseeing and supporting the most volatile asset that the business has, which is their people. And people have been through a lot in the past year. And so, this puts HR leaders in an incredibly difficult position. On Emotional Optimism Optimism is a choice although, for some people, it comes very naturally. And for other people, they have to work to be a bit more of an optimist. In emotional optimism, your default is assuming good intent. It's a belief in the good in people. It's a belief in humanity and human nature. And you trust that positivity is going to be more of a default for people than mistrust or that they're here to do harm to you.

Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Lars Schmidt, Entrepreneur and Founder of Redefining HR Accelerator. Lars has spent over 20 years in the HR industry building a range of leading global companies.About AllVoicesIn today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.To learn more about AllVoices visit us at www.allvoices.co!

Joining us in this episode is Lars Schmidt, Founder of Redefining HR, Author of the Bestselling Book: "Redefining HR",  Podcast Host, Modern HR Advocate, Founder, Amplify (HR Executive Search/Consulting), Fast Company Contributor. We discussed how not all company practices can fit every person, and that there are huge shifts going on in how companies can tailor their workflow and resources to their employees to make life easier, more productive, and faster due to increased communication outside of meetings.  Shannon Russo, CEO, Kinetix and Talent Scout, also joins us to talk to the process of finding candidates that fit for a particular company or industry. There are challenges in finding the right candidate compared to a year ago (2020 vs 2021) and selling a job position to the right candidate through active recruiting can certainly be a challenge.

Two founders of HR firms and industry podcast leaders – Lars Schmidt and Joey Price – talk about how businesses are adapting their wellness and benefits packages in 2021. We focus on employers with 250 employees or less and the data from a new report. Lars and Joey offer practical advice on everything from benefits communication to how sole HR practitioners can lean on a wider community, as well as the urgency of implementing HR technology and process digitization. Customize employee benefits packages: Benefits are more important than ever, and companies are starting to broaden beyond what they traditionally viewed as a benefits suite, such as student loan repayments and a new urgency on mental health. (02:26)Strive for “digital by default”: It's time to ditch the manual processes and adopt HR technology and digital solutions – to reflect a modern workplace. (06:05)You may be overspending already: Don't shy away from HR tech because of cost. When you account for the time spent on manual processes or creating workarounds, you might find you may already have the budget to invest in digital tools. (08:45)Survey your employees: If you're having to cut costs due to cash flow issues, engage your employees to co-create choices. Or, survey them to determine what they find valuable.  (09:54)Benefits communication is key: Articulate the tangible benefits for the employee and educate everyone on the value of the benefits.  (12:45)Are you an HR practitioner of one?

I've interviewed hundreds of modern HR practitioners over the years. They all have unique approaches and perspectives, but also share some common views and thinking about what's led them to success. I wanted to distill those traits and couple them with my own career experience and learning to build tangible advice on building a great career in HR, people operations, talent, recruiting, or whatever discipline you choose to pursue.

The "future of work" is now. The events of 2020 have propelled the field of HR forward and created an opportunity for a rethinking and resetting of how we design work practices that best serve all employees, our companies, and each other. The role of HR has never been more important. To meet this moment we must work together to share ideas, practices, and what we're learning. This resource is the result of a collaborative effort aimed at curating resources and tools to help businesses design and think about what's next. There's no way to know exactly how, what, and when “work” will look differently on the other side of the pandemic. Our only certainty is that it won't be the same. These resources aim to help educate and inspire those who are designing their future work strategies and structure, gauge how other companies are approaching this, and find resources to support their decision-making.
