🇮🇸 Can pay equity become a standard? In Iceland, it already has! In 2012, Iceland introduced a groundbreaking pay equity management standard, ÍST 85:2012, to ensure that women and men receive equal pay and enjoy equivalent working conditions for identical or comparable roles. The aim is simple but powerful: 👉 Ensure fair pay for men and women doing equal or similar work. 👉 Provide a tool to eliminate pay discrimination and force employers to review their pay systems. 👉 Hold organizations accountable to their legal obligations, such as the Icelandic Customs Authority, which uses the standard to demonstrate compliance. 👉 Promote equality as a cornerstone of a fair, inclusive society. This bold move is a 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿. By integrating a systematic approach to pay equity, Iceland is proving that equal pay is not just a goal—it's a measurable and achievable reality. #PayEquity #HR #InclusiveWorkplace #Iceland #GenderEquality #FairPay https://lnkd.in/egHF8SeU

« Il faut cultiver la différence et non l'indifférence. » Timothée Gustave What is the difference between a Part-Time CMO and a CMO? It’s not the time commitment. It’s not the responsibilities. It’s not the cost. Well, it is all of those things but above all of that is… It’s the approach: One shot, one opportunity to bring value! 👉 A Part-Time CMO needs to be strategic but also operational. They need to have experience to make big calls and lead the company in the right direction while also having the hard skills to get their hands dirty and do some of the grunt work. A CMO is primarily strategic. They have been operational at some point in their career but at the level in which they are now, they don’t have to be. They have teams to turn their strategy into reality. 👉 A Part-Time CMO must have their own tested and proven methodologies. For them and the client, time is money. Every minute counts and there is no time to waste. A CMO has time to get fully onboarded. Time to test, stop and analyse actions before deciding to end or resume them. Unlike a regular full-time CMO, a Part-Time CMO has to show results with every action. They only have one chance to show his or her intervention is worth the investment. 🎶 Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment Would you capture it or just let it slip ? His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah ! Snap back to reality!

Recently, I had the fantastic opportunity to be part of a virtual event by L'Oréal Groupe on "How GenAI can make you a standout candidate! : France." Rainer Iveson, Director of L'Oréal For Youth, GLOBAL, kicked off the session by simplifying the difference between AI and GenAI. He then walked us through 14 practical steps to use GenAI to boost your chances in the job market. These steps cover everything from tailoring your CV for specific roles, doing thorough brand and company research, assessing and developing your skills, preparing for interviews, creating and optimizing your cover letter, to navigating salary discussions. It's a comprehensive guide to leveling up your application game! A big thank you to Rainer Ivenson and Akshay Kumar, TA Specialist at L'Oréal, for sharing their insights during the event. The Q&A session was incredibly useful, addressing queries and providing even more valuable information. One key takeaway was the discussion about being cautious when using GenAI, as it lacks emotional intelligence and can sometimes be misinterpreted.

36% of the employers see internal equality as the biggest challenge when it comes to #remuneration, says European survey by SD Worx. As a result, employees don’t always receive equal pay for equal work. This challenge is immediately followed by pay transparency (35%). It is astonishing that three out of ten employers are not fully aware of the legal rules around pay transparency, such as the EU Pay Transparency Directive of 10 May 2023. According to Bruce Fecheyr-Lippens, Chief People Director at SD Worx, there are four important pillars for a successful approach to remuneration. Starting with a strategic reward policy is the first one.

Fantastic to hear Claire Isnard, our Global Chief People & Organisation Officer at CHANEL, speaking about Courageous Leadership at UNLEASH today, brilliantly facilitated by JESS VON BANK, and great to watch her with Oumar H., Clémence Payet-Gaspard, Laetitia WILEY and Sofiya M. As a relatively new starter to the House, I can really see how a genuine people-centric culture of trust and inclusion generates passion, team-work, respect, inclusion and compassion. As Claire said in her talk, the origins of the word courageous stem from "Heart"...we should all look for ways to bring more heart into business! It definitely makes for a great place to work. As the world becomes even more technologically advanced, and AI transforms and disrupts the way we work, I think that "heart" and people-centricity could become very important differentiators for organisations looking to attract and retain the best talent.

Hiring in 2024? A big task awaits you. But here are some insights which might help. In the age of AI and digitalization, businesses face a critical imperative: to attract, retain, and nurture talent that can evolve at the pace of the shifting landscape. However, a significant shift has emerged post-Great Resignation - workers now feel they have less control over their careers, with a pervasive "fear of the unknown" hindering professional growth. LHH President, Gaelle de La Fosse joined Bill Banham on HRchat by The HR Gazette to how today's leaders can develop teams fit for the future of work and shared some of the insights from LHH and The Adecco Group's latest research, ‘The Great Potential: Global Workforce of the Future' which reveals the shifting dynamics at play and offers some food for thought for employers. The advice? Stay ahead: Leaders need to understand the evolving needs of the workforce and address organizational skill gaps for long-term success. Upskill: To thrive and remain attractive to top talent, companies must provide opportunities for upskilling and ensure their workforce is well-prepared for the evolving demands of business.

Anne Hidalgo just announced that she will not be running for another 6-year term as Mayor of Paris. In her tenure, she has proven herself to be one of very few truly brave politicians. She took her 2014 mandate, and showed that she had the courage of her convictions, and instead of "analysis paralysis", she rapidly set out to make the changes she promised to make in Paris. Not everyone was on board, and any leader who actually makes changes will endure and waken the full forces of the anti-change stakeholders. But after a productive first term, the majority of Parisians sent her back to finish the job in 2020. More importantly, many people who were against her ideas at first, changed their minds and voted for her after seeing the results of the first-term's projects. These changes include abstract concepts like: - Equity, fairness, inclusion, access, addressing the modern city under a changing climate But also concrete changes like: - Hundreds of school streets, where traffic is blocked on blocks with schools, creating an instant playground, pedestrian and cyclist drop-off zone for kids, with NO car danger or idling vehicle pollution. - Changing the riverside freeways into parks for people. You can now walk along the riverside, or jog, bike, rollerblade, picnic, drink & revel. This is prime real estate in Paris she reclaimed for people, not cars. - Cleaner river - Pedestrian improvements and more space - Huge growth in bike lanes - Increased greenery and tree planting - Reduction of "heat island" contributors - Public transit enhancements & system growth - Flood preparedness systems - Efficient centralized citywide piped heat pump systems - Housing supply growth, stabilization of real estate prices And she contributed to shared successes like the 2024 Paris Olympics, transportation and mobility, a cleaner river, a 15 minute city. Paris is now a model city that many other metropolises can and ARE using as a leading example. Was Hidalgo perfect? No of course not - who is? I understand many of the critiques against her, but I believe she delivered on what she promised, and what she was elected to do. That makes her an unusually good politician, who is forward-leading as opposed to just forward-looking.

Preparing for an Uncertain Economic Winter: Leadership in the Face of Complexity The latest Institut Lean France article by Michael Balle underscores the critical importance of “preparing for winter”—a metaphor many of us resonate with in today’s uncertain economic and geopolitical climate. At the core of Balle's analysis is the concept of Lean, which emphasizes efficiency, adaptability, and continuous improvement. This framework highlights the urgency of resilient leadership, and as leaders, we must be prepared to face multiple crises simultaneously: economic downturns, supply chain disruptions, and societal shifts that threaten the very fabric of our organizations and communities. The question that this article brings to my mind is whether our current leadership is truly prepared for the complexity and depth of today’s challenges. In my view, this requires not just tactical responses, but also the foresight to adapt and evolve before crises hit. Now is the time for leaders who can take decisive, yet well-considered actions, balancing the short-term demands with long-term resilience. Are we ready to embrace these difficult realities and make the structural changes needed, even if they challenge conventional thinking? And if so, how do we prioritize what matters most—economic sustainability, social well-being, or organizational agility? For anyone invested in understanding how to lead effectively through turbulent times, this is a must-read. How are your organizations preparing for the “winter” that may lie ahead?

Tip #𝟭6/20: Life Feedback in a Decentralized Team. 🧠 Why The Gamer's Brain is a must-read, not just for game designers, but also for HR professionals ! Video games through the lens of neuroscience. In The Gamer’s Brain by Celia Hodent, neuroscientist and UX expert, we discover how our brain reacts to video games and why some gaming experiences are more captivating than others. Neuroscience shows us how individuals perceive, learn, and make decisions in interactive environments. The four neurotransmitters driving the gaming experience:🔻 ☀ 𝗗𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 : A key neurotransmitter in the reward circuit, it directly impacts mood and motivation. When produced in sufficient quantities, it enhances focus and motor skills. 😁 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧 : This neurotransmitter creates a sense of calm and inner strength. We all like to feel acknowledged for who we claim to be. 💌 𝐎𝐱𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐧 : Linked to social bonding, it helps us form connections with others. 🤘𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘀 : These neurotransmitters are tied to the perception of physical pain, reducing discomfort and even inducing euphoria. 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀, these concepts are just as crucial for Human Resources. 𝑈𝑠𝑒𝑟 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 (UX) principles apply directly to the 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛 as well. Understanding how the human brain responds to stimuli, stress, or motivation helps us craft better onboarding, training, and development programs. And just like in games, good narrative design (company culture) can strengthen employee engagement and retention. 📌 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 : Neuroscience is not only shaping the future of game design but also offering new ways to rethink employee experience and engagement in the workplace. At Brain RH, we use these principles in all of our HR strategies and creations. It's especially useful when building processes and managing remote or decentralized teams !
