What an incredible week at SXSW Sydney! 🚀 The experience was a sensory feast, stimulating not only our eyes and ears but also our minds. I find myself still digesting the wealth of knowledge, innovation, and creativity that the event had to offer and how we at Team Management Systems can weave these learnings into our lens of 'igniting human potential' through self-awareness, team development, and ultimately organisational productivity. As I unpack and rediscover the countless gold nuggets from the numerous talks and panels we managed to squeeze into our time in Sydney, it's clear that the impact of SXSW will stay with me for the foreseeable future. 🤯🌟 #SXSW #Sydney #Innovation #Creativity #KnowledgeSharing"

I extend my gratitude to our CPO Vered Keisar for granting me the opportunity to present our impactful talent management journey during last week’s People All Hands presentation in front of more than 150 People colleagues. Our commitment to identifying and strategically placing top talents transcends mere routine; it serves as our competitive edge, firmly grounded in thorough research. However, our focus extends beyond this: We recognize that true excellence lies not only in the identification but also in the nurturing and growth of all ResMedians. Our emphasis on experiential learning, tailored to individual strengths, is not mere talk—it is the defining factor that sets us apart. Rather than a standalone project, it represents a collective journey toward creating a workplace where everyone thrives and has equitable opportunities. By leveraging each individual’s unique abilities, we create a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and success. Special acknowledgment goes to Vered Keisar & Katie Merchant for their leadership, and our fantastic core team around Katie Smith, MBA, SPHR, Paris Carey, Lindsey Ramirez, Natalie Pacholl, and the Gallup team—for their unwavering commitment. As we move forward, let’s not only consider the ‘what,’ but also delve into the ‘how.’ Our commitment to fostering a cultural shift, guided by a value and competency-based approach, will propel us toward our shared goals. This aligns seamlessly with our 2030 operating model, which is Product-led, Customer-centric, and Brand-enhanced. #TalentManagement #WeAreResMed #ResMed

🌟 Reflecting on My First Year as a Founder 🌟 🚀 One year ago, I embarked on a thrilling journey, transitioning from my role as an in-house talent leader to founding V3 Talent Partners. Today, I’m taking a moment to reflect on this journey and the incredible learnings it has brought. 🔎 As an in-house talent leader, my days were filled with fostering internal talent, understanding the intricate dynamics of one organization, and aligning recruitment strategies with specific corporate cultures. It was a role that taught me the value of deep, nuanced understanding of organizational needs and employee potential. 🌐 Stepping into the founder’s shoes at V3 broadened my horizon exponentially. This year has been about embracing diverse industries, adapting to various organizational cultures, and tailoring our recruitment strategies to meet a wide array of client needs. The shift from a singular organizational focus to a multifaceted agency perspective has been both challenging and immensely rewarding. 💡 Key Learnings: 1. Adaptability:��Every client is unique, and so are their needs. Adapting our strategies to these varied demands has been key to our success. 2. Relationship Building: Strong, trust-based relationships are the backbone of effective recruitment, both in-house and in an agency setting. 3. Continuous Learning: The recruitment landscape is ever-evolving, and staying ahead means being a lifelong learner. 🙏 I am immensely grateful for my team, our clients, and the countless learning opportunities this year has presented. Here’s to many more years of connecting talent with opportunity, and growing both personally and professionally in this exciting industry! #recruitment #founders #careertransition #agencylife #talentacquisition #yearinreview

75% of cross-organizational teams are dysfunctional! This it quite a statement, but nevertheless the conclusion of a 2015 survey by Harvard Business Review.   With the right approach, however, cross-organizational teams can be a powerful tool for companies to navigate the complexities of today’s business environment.   Cross-organizational teams have long been a not-so-secret ingredient in stimulating innovation and growing our business in Milestone Systems. By deliberately selecting people with varied backgrounds who think differently from each other we are not only fostering a more inclusive environment. We are also ensuring that career development opportunities within the company are distributed fairly.   Together with my colleague Saeedeh Shafiee Kristensen we share our key learnings in making such teams work for people. Here is our recipe: Making cross-organizational teams work for people: https://lnkd.in/eWWACsqQ #crossorganizational #teamwork #peoplefirst

Our People: The Heart of Our Success At the core of our achievements lies a simple truth: our people are our greatest asset. The culture we cultivate is the cornerstone of our success, fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth. When I hear that someone is considering leaving any company, the first question that comes to mind is: what happened between their enthusiastic interview and today? Did they receive the right support and training they needed to thrive? Ensuring our team feels supported from day one is crucial. From onboarding to ongoing professional development, we must provide the resources and encouragement necessary for each person to excel. It’s about more than just initial training; it’s about continuous growth, feedback, and opportunities that align with their career goals. Let’s commit to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and equipped to succeed. By focusing on our people and the culture we build together, we can achieve remarkable things.
