The pursuit of innovation is a key factor in competitiveness. In September 2018, we attended the HR Innovation Award Ceremony of the Zukunft Personal Europe which was the official opening of the EU level event. It was one of the most attended and inspirational sessions of the 3-days-long conference and expo, where HR newcomers and more established businesses got recognized for their product and service developments. Over the course of the last years, innovation in HR has become crucially important. It refers to an imaginative way of dealing with change, translated into actual implementation. It’s about generating new ideas, carrying out research and development, improving processes or renewing products and services.

At the ceremony, we got to know the 7 winners – in the categories of Startups and Established Companies – out of the 24 finalists (from 114 submitted applications) and in the following article, our goal is to share their cutting-edge concepts with you.

If you put this 1 million euro question to anyone: What’s the key of building a prosperous business?, I assume 90 out of 100 would reply: INNOVATION. For this very reason, here at the Zukunft Personal Europe blog, we discuss a lot innovation in the world of work and in particular Human Resource Management. Undoubtedly, innovation is a big thing in HR technology. Its main objective is to re-imagine the current HR processes and systems.

Per se, there are a legion of examples of HR roles that have been successfully and profitably innovated over the course of the last years. Indeed, we can’t recall the time when more transformative HR technologies entered the market. Many of these HR-enabling technologies have the potential to turn businesses upside down, foster and enable innovation. Is there more room for innovation? Are there sectors left untouched in the realm of HR where innovative technology hasn’t conquered areas for itself? Questions to which we hope you’ll find your answers by the time you get through this blog post.

The fast pace of modern life requires a high degree of flexibility, courage and emotional intelligence from employers and employees alike. The result is a constant need to adapt to new market conditions, the development of new forms of collaboration and last but not least, the fusing of human intelligence with artificial intelligence. In short, we find ourselves in perpetual beta.

What opportunities and challenges does this present to employers and employees? What will the working world of the future look like? How do we want to work in the future and who will decide?

We want to explore these issues in more detail taking our inspiration from the motto of the exhibition Zukunft Personal Europe 2018: “work:olution – succeed in permanent beta”. With this in mind, we are calling all bloggers to take part in the blog carnival: “How to succeed in permanent beta?”  #permanentbeta.

12 German HR tech startups to watch

Is employee onboarding still managed manually at your company? What is the best way to create recruitment videos fast and easy with your smartphone? How can companies track current skills gaps and identify areas for improvement easily through an app? How can you connect your employees with opportunities to take part in team-based challenges or fitness competitions?

In today’s business reality, companies always need new ideas and approaches, and now more and more often they do not come from the largest solution-providers in the industry. HR startups, many of them providing traditional companies with solutions to the above questions, have become the lifeblood of technological and service innovation over the last 5 years. From advanced recruiter-bots to alternative approaches to attracting and keeping the best talent, we love getting to know the up-and-coming startups who are pushing the envelope of the HR world a little bit differently, and a little bit further.

Zukunft Personal Europe call for papers

Please raise your hand if you’ve ever felt paralyzed by a conference call for paper. When you open up the application document you are hit with the stark black Times New Roman font on a white background, bumping off any creative writing you may have felt a moment ago. It’s a daunting-enough task to create a 20-slide deck to report your monthly business metrics – never mind putting together a 600 to 1000 words topic proposal for the Zukunft Personal Europe call for papers to be competed with thousands of similar applications.

8 talent management trends for 2018

When you ask CEO’s and CHRO’s what their key priorities are for the coming year, talent management always is one of the issues high on the list. Talent management is an easy and safe choice. Nobody will argue that talent management is not important. Supervisory Boards love to talk about succession and talent management. Talent management is generally seen as something long-term. When you hear terms as “strategic”, “long-term”, “future” and “investment”, you must be careful. For talent management this means: it is important, but not urgent. For the CEO, it means: I have ticked the box, but now HR can deal with it. Of course, I will visit the final session of the senior management program, of course, I will personally mentor one or two high potentials, but please, do not bother me too much about talent management, I have more urgent matters on my plate.  A big challenge for organisations is to make talent management urgent, and to make it a priority of today, not of the future.

Death of Superman – why the road to success is inevitably through failure

Elon Musk famously said: “If something is important enough you should try, even if the probable outcome is failure.” In today’s VUCA world, there are hardly any guarantees anymore. Just as Whatsapp and other messaging services have bitten out billions from large established Telecom companies’ revenues, established businesses and sure-fire branches are under threat every day. If it’s not the curly haired guys in a garage, it may be an advertising fiasco, a new regulation, changing technologies, and even ageing population.

The new exhibition Personal Turkey to be launched on 13 and 14 April 2016 in the WOW Hotels and Convention Center is the first of its kind in Istanbul to focus on the tasks and challenges of the Turkish HR industry. What many people over here do not know is that despite the high level of youth unemployment, there has also been a skills shortage in various sectors of Turkish industry for quite some years now. The background to this is as simple as it is obvious. The Turkish economy has been registering dynamic growth since 2003 and the supplier industry has experienced a particularly strong upward trend. To meet international standards and cover current developments in their working area, many Turkish firms have been desperately looking for staff with the right industry knowledge. >>MORE>>

Welcome to our new Zukunft Personal/HRM Expo blog!

The HR community meets in Cologne once a year for an intensive exchange of ideas at Europe’s leading HR exhibition. With well over 200 programme points, the exhibition covers the full spectrum of human resources work: from recruiting and human resource services to continuing vocational training, leadership and employment law to HR software and the future of the workplace. We believe that this programme is so packed full of interesting topics and exciting, inspirational ideas on all aspects of human resources that it deserves to attract an audience outside the exhibition as well. >>MORE>>
