Handbuch PersonalKapitel 15: Daniel Mühlbauer - DatenliebeEin Bekenntnis: Daniel Mühlbauer liebt Daten. Daten in HR. Darum schreibt er einen Blog. Darum spricht er hier über Daten. Und im Grunde leuchtet es ja auch direkt ein: HR glaubt, sich auszukennen. In Wahrheit betrachten alle in HR nur ihre eigenen Erfahrungen, nur das, was sie selbst gerade überblicken. Wir glauben nur, wir würden uns auskennen. Tun wir aber nicht. Also: Wir brauchen Daten in HR. Harte Daten, also Verhaltensdaten. Die soften Daten aus Befragungen können dann gerne noch dazu. Aber im Kern hilft vor allem gute Datenhaltung und gute Kenntnisse der Statistik. Kann d...2024-04-2249 min
Handbuch PersonalKapitel 14: Markus Wörner: Der EinhornspotWir könnten es eine Case-Study nennen. Oder gleich: Die Case-Study. Einhorn aus Berlin hat einen Ruf weit über die Welt von Kondomen und Periodenprodukten hinaus - als besonderer Ort zum Arbeiten. Die Mitarbeiter:innen finden ihre Aufgaben im Wesentlichen selbst, die Organisation ist hierarchiefrei, aber nicht ohne Führung, es herrscht weitgehend Transparenz. Markus Wörner gehört zu den Urgesteinen bei Einhorn, er kümmert sich heute um People&Culture.Markus sagt: Eine solche Unternehmenskultur ist vor allem eins, nämlich viel Arbeit. Wenn das Netzwerk an die Stelle von festen Strukturen tritt, ist auf einmal...2024-04-1545 min
Handbuch PersonalKapitel 13: Leonie Tholey - Wenn Gehälter offen liegenFolge G wie Gehaltstransparenz. Reden wir also über Geld. Warum ist das wichtig? Leonie Tholey Recruiting-Expertin bei Workwise sagt: Transparenz sorgt dafür, dass wir keine Spielchen spielen können. Damit kommen wir beim Thema equal pay weiter: Männer vs. Frauen, Senior vs. Junior, aber auch zwischen verschiedenen Sparten und Bereichen des Hauses, auch angesichts des jeweiligen Marktes. Es ist komplex. Umso mehr lohnt es sich, die Dinge transparent zu machen.Ist es grundsätzlich eine gute Idee, die Gehälter aller Mitarbeiter:innen im Unternehmen transparent zu machen?

Handbuch PersonalKapitel 12: Isabell Welpe: Web3 in HRD wie Digitalisierung, das Kapitel für Fortgeschrittene. Isabell Welpe ist zu Gast, Professorin an der TU München und Expertin für Strategie und Organisation. Sie betont, dass digitale Prozesse Unternehmen attraktiver machen. Sie ermögliche Beteiligung, Interaktion und zeigen die Kultur. Damit löst Digitalisierung noch ein ganz anderes Problem: Es gibt doch gar keinen Fachkräftemangel. Es gibt nur Unternehmen, wo niemand mehr arbeiten will. Isabell sieht die Digitalisierung in einem größerem Kontext. Sie sagt: Unternehmen haben sich immer schon verändert - und zwar immer in Antwort auf neue Technologien. Wollen wir herausfinde...2024-04-0138 min
Handbuch PersonalKapitel 11 mit Enzo Weber: Mythen der Arbeitswelt debunkedSehen wir beim Personal mehr Mythen, Halb- und noch weniger Wahrheiten als bei anderen Themen der Unternehmenssteuerung? Jedenfalls sind es reichlich. Eine Folge, die den Mythen im HR auf den Pelz rückt. Eva und Michael haben dafür Enzo Weber eingeladen. Er ist Professor am Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB), der Forschungseinrichtung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Er leitet dort den Forschungsbereich „Prognosen und gesamtwirtschaftliche Analysen“ - der Mann für die ganz großen Fragen. Erster Mythos: Die Gen Z will sich nicht die Hände schmutzig machen.

Handbuch PersonalKapitel 10: Henning Beck – Hirnfreundliches ArbeitenFolge zehn des Handbuch Personal geht unter die Haube. Also unter die des Kopfes. Henning Beck ist Hirnforscher und Autor. Eva und Michael sprechen mit ihm über „hirnfreundliches Arbeiten“. „Hirn…“-was? Wie kann arbeiten nicht hirnfreundlich sein? Henning nennt sofort eine Reihe von Irrtümern über Arbeit. Allesamt weit verbreitet und doch eben gar nicht auf unsere körpereigene Infrastruktur abgestimmt. Irrglaube 1: Viel hilft viel. Die heroische Überforderung, mit der besonders oft Führungskräfte prahlen, ist Unfug. Sie ist sogar schädlich. Dauerhaft zu wenig schlafen? Unglaublich viel arbeiten? Nicht hirnfreundlich, ermüdend und - Überraschung - das Hirn ist nicht...2023-07-1736 min
Handbuch PersonalKapitel 9 mit Oliver Voigt: Daten, Daten, Daten ... und dann?Die ewig gleichen Excel-Tabellen ... Über Jahre war es das alltägliche Spannungsfeld wahrscheinlich nahezu jeder Personalabteilung: HR soll und will sich um das wertvollste im Unternehmen kümmern - den Menschen - und erzeugt doch nur ein Controllinginstrument nach dem anderen. Oli Voigt hält dagegen: Gerade in den Daten liegt das Potenzial für eine ganz neue Rolle für HR. Oli leitet Talent Management, People Analytics und ESG bei Pipedrive. Seine Teams arbeiten in sechs Städten zwischen New York und Tallinn. Daten in HR ist ein hoch dynamisches Feld. Zu den ohnehin in Mengen vorhand...2023-07-1037 min
Handbuch PersonalKapitel 8 mit Thomas Ertl: Arbeit im WandelArbeit ist in der Krise. Genauer: Eine ganze Reihe von Selbstverständlichkeiten, die wir mit der Arbeitswelt verbinden, stoßen zunehmend an Grenzen. Eva und Michael wagen in dieser Folge des großen Blick: Muss Arbeit „so“ sein - oder ist Arbeit historisch bedingt? Denn wenn sie das wäre, dann hätten wir ja die Chance, unser Bild von Arbeit zu verändern und zu gestalten, durch die Krise hindurch und aus ihr hinaus. Das wäre ja eine gute Nachricht. Fragen wir also doch einmal einen Historiker, der sich mit dem Bild von Arbeit beschäftigt hat. Thomas Ertl...2023-07-0332 min
Handbuch PersonalKapitel 7 mit Nicole Beste-Fopma: Vereinbarkeit ist mehr als Beruf und FamilieVereinbarkeit ist mehr als Familie. Erst wenn wir es breit denken, bekommen wir das Thema in den Griff. Letztlich geht es um die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Leben.Vereinbarkeit ist auch mehr als Arbeit, also mehr als Erwerbsarbeit. Was ist hier Arbeit, fragt Nicole? Nur die Tätigkeit zwischen Einstempeln und Ausstempeln? Und der Rest nicht? Was ist mit Kindern? Was mit pflegebedürftigen Angehörigen?Testfrage: Wollen das überhaupt alle?

Handbuch PersonalKapitel 6 mit Mario Reis – Erfolgreiche Teams auf Knopfdruck?Was macht ein gutes Team aus? Lässt sich das überhaupt beschreiben? Im Einzelfall gehen die Anforderungen wahrscheinlich auseinander.

Spoiler: Mario Reis, einer der Gründer von Monday.Rocks sagt: Das beides geht ohnehin meist parallel. Die Grundlagen eines guten Team beruhen auf immer auf Vertrauen und Sicherheit. Zusätzlich zeigen die Daten und Erkenntnisse von Monday.Rocks: Die Sensitivität von Teams macht einen wese...2023-06-1937 min

Die Fachanwältin für Arbeitsrecht kämpft im Podcast leidenschaftlich für ihr Thema und betont: Hier ist Gestaltungsspielraum.Natürlich: Aktuelle Fachkenntnis braucht es schon. Zu oft geistern Halbwahrheiten zu Arbeitsrechtsfragen durch die Management-Flure. Beispiel: Alle Verträge müssen auf Papier unterschrieben werden. Stimmt schlicht nicht. Wir müssen alle Arbeitszeiten immer dokumentieren. Naja. Vielfach werden diese Themen auc...2023-06-1232 min
Handbuch PersonalKapitel 4 mit Carina Raddatz: AltersarmutSoll HR sich jetzt um alles kümmern? Ist Altersarmut tatsächlich ein Problem, das hier auf die Agenda gehört? Gegenfrage: Wenn uns der Mensch im Unternehmen so wichtig ist - ist uns derselbe Mensch ab dem Moment des Renteneintritts völlig egal? Carina Raddatz hat das Startup "Obstkäppchen" gegründet. Sie sagt: Unternehmen stehen hier in der Verantwortung, für den einzelnen wie auch in der Gesellschaft.

What's New Under the SunBiases Against Risky ResearchA frequent worry is that our scientific institutions are risk-averse and shy away from funding transformative research projects that are high risk, in favor of relatively safe and incremental science. Why might that be?Let’s start with the assumption that high-risk, high-reward research proposals are polarizing: some people love them, some hate them. If this is true, and if our scientific institutions pay closer attention to bad reviews than good reviews, then that could be a driver of risk aversion.

Total Movie RecallTMR 051 Holiday Special – The Nightmare Before Christmas This week on the Total Movie Recall Holiday Special, Steve and Ryan visit the mopey, gothy early 90s when Generation X looked to the high school Gloom King Tim Burton to express their so dark vision of Christmas.

It does look great, though. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) d. Henry Selick Starring: Danny Elfman Chr...2020-12-291h 29

Ryan’s love of fairy tale settings don’t truck with Steve, who favors Disney’s gritty, street-level crime drama Aladdin. Ryan gets vulnerable about the deterioration of his mental health in this dumpster fire world we have, and Steve, ever a good man and a good friend, reaches out. We encourage you to reach out too. Because everything sucks right now, and you need to connect with your fellow humans to survive. Also, this is...2020-10-191h 25
