The (business) world started moving a whole while ago towards more #data-informed assumptions and decisions. And it seems that HR/TA/People is catching up. But what does it mean to work data-driven in our function? Looking at sickness share and churn from now and then is a yesterday's story. What we need to move towards is finding causations, correlations and interdependencies between all the areas: from usual workforce management data, to engagement, performance, hiring process, onboarding, offboarding, org structure and benefits & comp data. And the amazing tool that the team at peopleIX is building, can help you to do exactly that ⛵ HR colleagues, check it out! #peopleanalytics

💬 "𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆!" - Bam! That was just one of the powerful quotes from yesterday's BERlean IN Circle event on 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. I still cannot find the right words to capture the magic of the evening and the incredible quartet on stage! Let me at least summarize my learnings from our amazing speakers: 🔸 Ebony Simone Morczinek, CFO at Blacklane "Everything in life starts with a thought. Our thoughts create this reality. So please envision your future. And think big in numbers." For Ebony, it’s 10 million. Her presence transforms every room into a cathedral. She embodies what it means to deserve space and be confident. Her biggest advice still gives me goosebumps: "Know your trauma before you enter a negotiation!" 🔸 Dr. Martina Pesic, Negotiation Expert This woman is obsessed with negotiations. She wrote her diploma and PhD on negotiation. You can even book her for "shadow negotiation." Her key advice: Be prepared and know your tactics. She empowered us women (and male allies) in the room: Don’t introduce numbers too early before you’ve sold your value. A number is like an anchor—the first number sticks. 🔸 Stefanie Voss, Leadership Coach She is truly an adventurer; Stefanie sailed around the world! Her claim is: be a pirate, not a princess when entering negotiations! Pirates have one core superpower: Audacity! It’s the conscious decision to move beyond fear ("I don’t dare to..."), shame ("What will people think..."), conventions ("The status quo..."), and rules ("This is how it is done"). I loved how she provided concrete examples of how to train your audacity with tiny habits. For example, walk up to a policewoman and thank her for keeping us safe during the European soccer cup. 🔸 Coco Decrouppé, Leadership Coach 🥅⚽️👩‍🏫 Coco is from Austria, and she chose to spend time with us rather than watch the Austrian soccer team win last night! What a coach! She introduced us to her 'The Soccer Field Model©️,' a tool she developed to understand the driving forces in negotiations. What I will never forget: Negotiation starts with Level 1: focus on myself! If I don’t care for my emotions, I won’t set clear boundaries. Kudos to our moderator 🎤Antje Venjakob, who orchestrated the evening with such a lovely flow! A huge thank you to Blacklane and in particular Brenda Omari & Abigail Pfeiffer for hosting this event. It was great for many women to connect with Cindy Rubbens CHRO of Blacklane, too! Team Power: Thanks to Agata Gaertner & Julia Teubert (she/her) for being enablers in organizing the Lean In events! 🎉

Create an ‘Ask Me Anything’ round for your candidates. That is my biggest takeaway from my day at OMR. So many companies are running interviewer led/top down processes. In a competitive hiring market, this isn’t enough. Have the candidate interview you. It will: - Offer more transparency - Build more trust - Symbolise servant leadership - The candidates line of questioning will tell you a lot 😉 - Align leadership on strategic goals - Gain an edge on your competition Try it, it works.

Just finished my course VfTC Verbund freier Trainer und Coaches, and now I can proudly call myself a systemic organization developer 🎉 What does that even mean? 🤔 Over the next few weeks, I'll share insights from my journey, touching on topics like #psychology, #humanmotivation, #leadership, #organizationalstructures, #values, and #transformation. But first, I want to highlight my top personal learnings from the past 4 months: "My brain is a liar" 🧠 Our brains are wired to make quick decisions and create stories to fill in gaps, often leading to perceptions that aren't completely true. Realizing this opened me up to new perspectives and helped realize my own biases. The power of criticism-free feedback 🔄 Feedback used to be a tough pill to swallow. Now, I see it as a valuable gift 🎁. Different perspectives help me grow and improve. I've learned to give and receive feedback without criticism, and it's been transformative. Embracing self-motivation without competition 🔥 Initially, I felt uneasy without competition. But I've found a deeper motivation through my own hunger for knowledge and improvement. It's encouraging to learn for the love of learning. I'm looking forward to sharing more about my journey into systemic organization development! Stay tuned for insights into #leadership and #change management. 🙌 Question for you: What's been your most surprising realization about human behavior or motivation in the work environment? 🤔 I'd love to hear your thoughts!

🌍 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯: 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 In a global landscape where mobility is increasingly joint, the well-being of expatriates holds significant importance. As someone deeply involved in recruiting and integrating international talent, I cannot ignore the stark realities unveiled by the Expat Insider 2023 survey. The findings are sobering: Germany, a nation known for its economic prowess and cultural richness, lags in expatriate satisfaction, ranking a disheartening 𝟰𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟱𝟯 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 surveyed. This revelation demands our attention and collective action. In conversations about expatriates' challenges, one must recognize the profound impact of societal dynamics, including the rise of movements like the AfD. The palpable sense of unease and disconnect reported by expatriates underscores a broader concern: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆. Would you please allow me to share a poignant anecdote? A friend recently posed a seemingly rhetorical question: "Do you know anyone who left Germany because it's emotionally too cold here?" Sadly, I do. Each departure represents a loss of talent and a narrative of disillusionment and disconnection. The implications resonate deeply, especially in professions where compassion and empathy are paramount. Consider the poignant irony faced by healthcare professionals from Kosovo, who find themselves caring for individuals whose ideologies starkly contrast the values they hold dear. At the heart of the matter lies a call to action. We cannot afford to dismiss these findings as mere statistics. They reflect the lived experiences of individuals who enrich our communities and contribute to our collective tapestry. What drives expatriate dissatisfaction in Germany? The survey points to multifaceted challenges: a labyrinthine bureaucracy, digitalization gaps, and an increasingly strained housing market. Perhaps most poignant is the revelation that expatriates perceive Germans as among the least friendly populations—a stark reminder of the importance of fostering genuine connections in an increasingly interconnected world. You find the link to the survey in my comment. #ExpatInsights #Inclusion #CommunityBuilding #Germany #GlobalMobility

What's behind the door is the new XXXLdigital – Part of XXXL Group office in Linz. But what I really want to highlight is the story behind this door, or rather, the doors wrapping. It was an ad hoc, last-minute solution when I was asked if I could take on the task of designing the wrapping. Was it within the scope of my job responsibilities? Not really. But therein lies the beauty of it. I jumped on the opportunity to experiment with designs, ideas, and Adobe Illustrator. Creative tasks like these are what I thrive on, and this task was probably as creative as it gets in the corporate realm. It took me two attempts. For the first design I crafted, I used the wrong unit of measurement, so I had to start over. Through this process, I learned a lot, honed my graphic design skills, and became more efficient. Every so often, my job presents me with such opportunities—creative challenges that extend beyond my usual tasks, sparking my growth and learning. With XXXLdigital I found a work environment that enables and fosters learning and growth. I'm encouraged to take on such tasks, and I'm even allowed to dedicate work time to learning and enhancing my skill set. I'm grateful that XXXLdigital provides an environment where I can take initiative and also shape my role in some ways. Our culture, built on trust and self-accountability, allows me to thrive. I'm fortunate to have a team lead like Patrick Koehler who supports my development and gives me the autonomy to pursue these enjoyable endeavours and learning. p.s. Thanks, Paul-Leon Graf, for inviting me to take on the design! #XXXLdigital #XXXLdevelopment #Growth #Development #Learning

6+1 months in: first learnings being at willhaben..and what a ride! The time flies and I have caught myself working at Willhaben for nearly 7 months. Some reflections and personal learnings: → willhaben: this company has so much to offer, both to its users and clients. Even though the business is well established, teams are always looking for more opportunities to do something new: being this an innovative data-driven approach with the #CleanRoom with IKEA or a new business direction for people who want to find the best mortgage option. And so much more in the making! → #Leadership: joining a new senior team who has been in business for years as their Lead is not an easy task, however I see it as an opportunity for both sides: we can all learn, see things from different angles and, most importantly, contribute. My go-to-approach: keep an open mind, be curious and listen! People are the hardest but the most rewarding material to work with. → #Prioritisation: At first I was about to learn everything and become an expert yesterday. Obviously, it did not work. The realities show that you simply cannot grasp all of the things, it takes time. Learnings - force yourself to take this time and go one step at a time! → Numbers vs. Context: I would recommend everyone who is starting a similar role to understand and prioritise your business numbers first: revenue, sales targets, YoY growth, churn, retention, clients segmentation, etc.…this is something you can understand relatively fast, it will give you control and stable feet to stand on; business context and the “why is it this way” come later and will become a nice add-on. → Your support board: your peers and colleagues are your assets. Be hungry (and proactive) to grasp their wisdom and experience! → New language: working in a language you never worked in (in my case German) is extremely challenging. I simply had situations when I sweated hard and did not understand what people were saying. But time has a unique power - it normalises things that are not initially normal. Be ok with this but do take actions to improve yourself: I got back to the weekly German classes with a specific focus on leadership, DACH professional culture, presentation and business communication. Purposeful training always helps. For anyone in the same situation my advice would be - find a good teacher and prioritise it on a regular basis! For emails - use #ChatGPT and learn from it. Small consistent steps forward with the help of technology, patience and humour will climb any mountain. Quoting my beautiful colleague Sandra Mayr: “das wird schon!” :)  → Assess your other knowledge gaps and prioritise it: it could be a product deep-dive pitch to your clients, or a budget planning for the next 5 years. Have your plan ready, learn from your team and get their feedback.    It's just a few thoughts, I am sure I will have so much more in the time onwards! The ride has been great so far, I am very grateful!
