Shamelessly sharing a picture of my campervan Teddy - nomadic working has propelled the vanlife culture (not for me just yet but maybe one day…). #cipd #remoteworking #humanresources #workfromanywhere #wokrfromanywherejobs #remotejobs

Attending the two-day coaching seminar in Berlin organized by Haufe Akademie was a valuable experience for my personal and professional growth as an HR professional. It reaffirmed my belief that investing in our own development is just as important as training and developing our business stakeholders. My key highlights from the seminar were: 💡 Introduction to Systemic Coaching: The seminar provided a comprehensive introduction to the concept of systemic coaching. I learned how to effectively utilize coaching competencies and discovered the unique benefits that coaching offers compared to traditional consultation methods. This understanding has broadened my perspective on how I can support and guide individuals within my organization. 📖 Strengthening Coaching Techniques: Throughout the seminar, we delved into the practical aspects of coaching. I gained insights on striking a balance between active participation and the art of stepping back to enable the coachee's growth and self-discovery. 🚻 Networking with HR Peers: One of the highlights of the seminar was the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with other HR professionals. Engaging in discussions, case studies, and collaborative activities allowed us to learn from one another, gaining practical insights to apply within our respective organizations. This seminar reinforced the importance of empowering individuals through coaching and embracing a solution-oriented mindset. This focus on personal development has reinforced the significance of continuous self-growth as a HR professional.

This upward trend is evident across different industries, indicating a positive shift in the job market. The overall index and all of the individual skills show as higher than the same quarter in the previous year. This suggests that the job market is becoming less dependent on economic cycles and more resilient. While we cannot definitively say that the fear of recession is entirely behind us, these positive signs bode well for the Austrian economy’s recovery. In summary, the Hays Specialist Index for Q1 2024 reflects a rebound in demand for specialized professionals across various fields, signaling potential economic recovery. https://lnkd.in/eB2ejJgk

Finding talent today, although it is difficult, is not as difficult as "retaining talent". There is a book (The Peter Principle) which makes it clear that every collaborator (employee) has a threshold of incompetence (all of them regardless of their hierarchical rank, whether CEO, Director, middle or base staff), but that this threshold of incompetence can be easily extended over time if it is linked to continuous training (all of which I mean, company culture, market, position, skills, training of empathy, assertiveness and resilience, etc.), this continuous training will guarantee their progression and evolution as a professional, and by natural concatenation evolutions as a person. The leader must constantly exercise this awareness and be very intelligent in decision making, wrong decisions generate a potential imbalance in the evolution of a good professional. A level 5 management interlocutor cannot be unwittingly required to have a level 6 management results, because we would be harming and breaking the development of a potential level 10 interlocutor in the long term, so in that case, who would have been the main culprit of the failure of that interlocutor? Without a doubt, his leader.

The first step of being innovative is to learn! This is very much at the core of our 15%-culture as #3mer #scientist as I pointed out in one of my articles here on LinkedIn before: https://lnkd.in/enP6RXx8 I personally found that listening to science podcasts on my way to work or on longer distance drives in the train or car is one way to learn about new topics and broaden my view beyond my expertise as materials scientist and innovator. Becoming the Hydrogen Technology and Business Architect at 3M did not happen in a day and my learning went of course way beyond listening to podcasts, but it was one element to broaden my scope into adjacent areas with a low entry barrier. COP29 just finished and it is obvious climate change can only be prevented if we all educate ourselves more about the basic science that can explain what happens. This way actions we have to take personally or as humankind are not put upon us, but are hopefully based on a common understanding. I am following Johannes Kückens, Jens Schröder and Michael Bücker already for some time with their physics podcast. Since one of the first episodes I can't boil my water for a nice cup of tea without thinking about the physics behind the rattling of my water kettle. I also very much enjoyed the first episodes of this new podcast explaining the science of climate change. What are science podcasts you enjoy listening to and learning from? I might share a few more I find interesting over the next couple of weeks. So far most of them have been in German, so I would also like learn from you what science podcasts are out there in other countries? This might be one way we can learn to better understand the science around us!

As a long-term practitioner in the field, I believe the discussions on what Germany could improve are crucial. However, from my experience, there’s a significant gap between what is talked about and the actual implementation. We have numerous programs aiming to promote various initiatives, but when it comes to practice, the execution is either poor or absent. This is especially evident when addressing the integration of international professionals into the German workforce. A critical point that is often overlooked is the need for immigration policies and related authorities to enhance their own processes and training. We constantly discuss labor shortages and the importance of attracting international talent. Yet, there are clear issues with the “welcoming culture” — not only within governmental institutions but also in smaller businesses. While large corporations have the resources to manage these challenges, smaller companies struggle with language barriers and information gaps. Instead of continuously seeking new solutions, we should focus on addressing the existing challenges through closer collaboration between politics and the business world. All relevant institutions need to take proactive steps, and every available media platform should be leveraged to raise awareness and apply public pressure. Without this, real change is unlikely. Since 2020, Germany has officially become an immigration country, but the visa process has not significantly evolved. Many obstacles remain, which discourage qualified immigrants from coming to Germany. It’s time we stop creating unnecessary barriers for international talent, as this prevents us from truly addressing the skilled labor shortage. #Fachkräftemangel #InternationaleFachkräfte #Einwanderungspolitik #Willkommenskultur #Fachkräfteeinwanderung #Umsetzung #ZukunftDeutschland #Wirtschaftspolitik #Arbeitsmarkt #Mittelstand #Großkonzerne #SkilledLabor #Germany #CollaborativeSolutions
