You need to keep up with the latest HR trends. But what should you do with the information and how do you become an HR trendsetter and influencer rather than just a trendwatcher in HR People & Culture?

In this episode of Talking HR Trends with Natal & Tom, Natal Dank from PXO Culture and Tom Haak of the HR Trend Institute look at why it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and case studies, how to do this and what to do with the information once you have it. This is essential if you're going to be seen as a thought leader in the HR domain of your business.

Look beyond the field of HR for inspiration - other disciplines, science, arts.
Know what issue you want to tackle otherwise you might get lost just looking for trends.
Don't just copy other organisations - every situation is different.

How to become an HR trendsetter and influencer

Self-managed (or self-organising or autonomous) teams are a hot business topic at the moment. But what does the term self-managed team really mean and are self-managed teams really achievable or just a pipedream?

Natal Dank and Tom Haak (of the HR Trend Institute) explain that self-managed teams are indeed possible but it’s not easy and they don’t come about by accident. This ‘Talking HR Trends with Natal & Tom’ episode also looks at the perhaps unexpected and truly exciting new roles HR has in helping teams become autonomous.

Power of retrospectives by Natal Dank & Tom Haak

Power of retrospectives

From Netflix and Spotify to buying physical products online, our consumer and digital experiences are increasingly personalised and tailored to our needs.

But what about the employee experience? Is it time for the workplace to be personalised, just as much as at home?

Natal Dank and Tom Haak (of the HR Trend Institute) explore the difference between personalisation and customisation and whether personalisation only works in startups or is feasible in large organisations. Some of their conclusions will surprise you.

Why workplace personalisation is essential

Wouldn't it be useful to have a user guide that helped you get along with your teammates? Perhaps some top tips on how to get your best work done together. Maybe it's time for you to do a personal user manual and help others know how to work best with you.

Natal Dank and Tom Haak (of the HR Trend Institute) in the latest instalment of ‘Talking HR Trends with Natal & Tom’, ask if this is the end of the team-building day. Spoiler Alert: You can still climb poles and jump rivers if you want to but you can also get to know your colleagues without building a bridge out of pallet wood.
