Global mobility is no longer just about expat assignments. Our co-founder, Daniel Zinner, joined HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management for their HHL Impact Series to talk about how remote work and international hiring are redefining global mobility. Daniel discussed a number of topics, including: 🟣 How digitisation and a global mindset are the keys to driving sustainable organisational performance. 🟣 Why modern leadership is more than managing people—it's about engagement, empowerment and fostering collaboration across cultures. 🟣 Why he thinks networks and ecosystems will be the drivers of business growth and innovation over the next few years. 🟣  His excitement that Leipzig is turning into a hub of change and leading the way in business and cultural innovation.

"How do we not make the mistake of just adding pay when we actually should fix other things that are wrong at the moment?"   An interesting discussion on the Total Rewards topic in our latest HR Debatable podcast episode:   Employee well-being has gotten a lot more attention over the past years and rightly so.   According to one article by the AIHR | Academy to Innovate HR, companies that don’t provide adequate well-being support to their employees risk: 🏃‍♂️ An increase in absenteeism and presenteeism 🤕 An increase in workplace accidents and injuries 📉 A drop in engagement and productivity 😐 A decline in retention and talent attraction   Within this context, it is clear why organizations have started to prioritize total well-being. We now see companies adopting a total well-being approach, an approach that includes people’s physical, mental, social, career and financial well-being as well as building resilience.   Prospective employees are also more attracted to organizations that prioritize employee well-being, with 87% stating they consider the health and well-being packages a company offers when choosing an employer.   What this well-being package looks like exactly depends on the organization and, of course, on the available budget.   The question remains: Should we view well-being initiatives as essential to the total rewards strategy, or are we misguidedly trying to solve complex problems with financial incentives alone?   Let's hear what our guests Sarah Maximilian and Rachel Gibbs have to say about this! Check out the full debate here: https://lnkd.in/gFaa2CY6   Moderated by Neelie Verlinden 🎙   #HRDebatable #Cegid #HR #HCM #TotalRewards #EmpoyeeWellbeing #Compensation #Benefits

It’s hard to believe it’s almost 2025, so better to dive into the talent trends shaping this coming year now before it sneaks up on us. According to LinkedIn's latest data insights, hiring rates are stabilizing globally, with tech leading the way in recovery. Internal mobility is on the rise, showing companies the value of promoting from within for agility and engagement. Recruiting leaders are shifting focus to prioritize soft skills in hiring, recognizing the importance of adaptability, problem-solving, and collaboration in building agile teams. Quality talent with uniquely human skills will be in high demand as AI takes over repetitive tasks. AI adoption isn't just about efficiency—it's also about enhancing human capabilities. Employees skilled in AI show higher rates of developing soft skills like creativity and emotional intelligence, leading to increased promotion opportunities. To stay ahead, talent leaders must take a systemic approach to AI adoption, combining AI application with a focus on human skill development and fostering a culture of continuous learning. Experimenting with AI tools and integrating them into learning experiences will be key to building adaptable talent in the fast-paced workplace. #TalentTrends #AIRevolution #UnlockHumanPotential

❗ A company can only be successful with qualified employees. What sounds so obvious is not always easy to realise in an increasingly global and highly competitive talent market. And success is not just a question of recruiting: being able to identify and implement suitable measures along the entire employee lifecycle is increasingly becoming a key success factor. At the same time, close collaboration between the finance department and HR is becoming more and more important. Companies that close the data gap between HR planning and FP&A are in a better position to link business and talent objectives – and achieve both goals. In the whitepaper, produced in co-operation with our software partner Jedox, we explore workforce planning from both a strategic and tactical perspective, offering insights and a framework for bringing new realities to life both in the field and in the boardroom.
