People analytics is an important subject amongst people managers, giving us, HR professionals, the chance of having a bigger and a more strategic impact on the business and talent development. We had the opportunity to discuss with Razvan Radu, co-founder of Humano, about the importance of HR analytics. Razvan is an HR passionate, who understands humans behind numbers, helping companies making data-driven decisions and building engaged teams.

Last week we met again in an HR Hub Learning event to explore a theme that gained a lot of traction in the last few years - Employee Experience. Our guest, Clodagh Logue, Vice President, International HR at Fitbit, made an introduction to what Employee Experience is and answered a lot of questions about how we can improve it in our organizations.

As we're looking to broaden how our members interact with each other, we've chosen to design a new way to spread know-how - a series of in-depth interviews with industry experts, sharing advices, stories, wisdom with everyone who's curious to know more about their way of doing things.

Following our last year’s event around the fuss generated by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this week we discussed with our community on how things evolved and what is happening now, one year later. Together with Tudor Galos, we’ve discussed what are the main HR issues related to GDPR compliance.

In these past years it’s been a tradition to dedicate the month of May to technology. Following the Bucharest Technology Week fever, we organized an HR Hub innovation event for our community, during which 20 participants discussed about HR tools that make work better. We invited Mihaela Nedelcu (Miky) to prepare and present this subject, as she is more than just an HR professional - she is an HR Tech User, HR Tech Consultant and HR Tech Founder.

Days ago we started a thread in our community about who listens to what podcasts. The outcome was a list of podcasts we listen to and would recommend, be them HR related or not. So if you’re on your way to work, doing laundry or just in the mood for some learning, here’s what you can listen to.

On April 24th, our community got together again for an HR Hub Talk. We met Maya Camarasu, Program Manager — Global Leadership development @ UiPath to find more about how do you grow leadership capabilities in an organization where “fast” is a value, and change feels like home.

We made it a tradition to gather our community at the end of each year to share our HR achievements, to create our learning wish-list for the next year and, of course, to enjoy an evening with the coolest HR aficionados. This year, we used design thinking to find out what the main learning needs and trends among HR people are. Here is the list of themes that will be approached in our 2019 events:

What should we read? Here are 16 HR books recommended by HR Hub community members.

We value our community (maybe more than anything else). Our events are always tailored to meet our members’ learning goals, to help them develop more on existing competencies and add some new shiny ones to their portfolio.

You work in HR. You’re in charge of everything people-related within your organization. You might be involved in Recruiting, Learning & Development, Payroll, and many others, including analyzing and creating salary grades for each of your colleagues’ job categories. You know (in detail) the image of their industry mirrored in salary ranges for each seniority level.

New year, same vision: Empowering HR people to share knowledge and innovate with the purpose of creating the next generation HR.

70% of the employers find (very) hard the right graduates for their jobs and 40% of them are disappointed of the quality of the graduates.

“It doesn’t matter how much voice you give to your employees if you don’t actually do anything with that, it doesn’t matter”.

Maybe this is the future happening now – learning communities formed outside the organizational environment with peers learning from each other, sharing and building new ideas to improve their professional practice in a self-designed environment.

There are some voices stating that the HR department as we know it will disappear, or that, with the evolution of technology, most of the HR functions will be automated. We chose to look at things differently, embrace the changes and discuss whether their impact is a positive, or a negative one. This article contains the trends we discussed, insights we got out of the debates, as well as some questions we’re still trying to find answers to.

This is the story of Jonathan. Jonathan is 100% motivated by his job, engaged in all his daily activities and 100% productive. His employer knows all of this because everything was measured recently. His employer is 100% sure that Jonathan is a happy employee.

As the IT sector is expanding, HR, as a support function, is evolving around it too: at any given time, there are at least 10 IT Recruitment job opportunities and experience working with technical people becomes a standard requirement. In this context we’re starting to see the war of talent at its best. HR professionals’ daily challenge is to find innovative ways to find and convince the best IT talents to come and have a chat with them.

Finding the right candidate for the job is always a challenge.
