Recommendation

HR expert Lars Schmidt says his profession needs a paradigm shift. He argues for an employee-first approach – one grounded in empathy and psychological safety. While Schmidt’s vision is not new, he does make a compelling, vital and refreshing case for building a humanistic company culture grounded in learning and coaching – while at the same time not shying away from using advanced people analytics and AI to achieve your organizational goals.

Take-Aways

  • Companies that don’t put people first are cracking.
  • Possess a deep knowledge of your company – and the industrial, sociopolitical and economic trends that guide it.
  • Use data to improve decision-making.
