„OMG it’s Monday!!!!“ Some (most?) people probably feel like this:   😱 😖🤯 Others like this:  🤩 💪🔥 For both it’s Monday. For both the weekend is over.  But still there is a difference. 1. Do you know that it is NOT your circumstances, not your environment, not your job, not your boss, not your colleagues, not your family, or who or whatever that decides how you feel (and think) about Mondays (and by the way everything else ins your life;-)? 2. And do you know that - even you know this - this does not necessarily lead to a change? For making a difference, for creating a lasting change we need to apply the knowledge and translate it into action. 3. And do you know that 1.& 2. are ALWAYS YOUR decision?!?! 😁 This is the basis of positive leadership. Awareness. Responsibility. Commitment. What is your spontaneous reaction to „OMG it’s Monday?“  Let me know in the comments! ☺️ Wishing you a wonderful start into the week!

Planning a #budget for #raises is a key element of any company's human resources #management strategy. Thoughtful and well-planned raises can significantly impact employee motivation and loyalty to the employer. 🤝 The first step in planning a budget for raises is analyzing the company's current financial situation.

Clear and transparent criteria help build trust and transparency within the company. 🔎 It is also essential to regularly monitor and update the budget for raises. The job market and the company's situation can change dynamically, so a flexible approach to budget planning is crucial. ✍️ In summary, planning a budget for raises is a complex process that requires consideration of many factors.

We Are Responsible For The Choices We Make! So Choose Wisely! The power of choice is a fundamental aspect of our lives. Every day, we are faced with countless decisions that shape our present and future. Each choice we make carries consequences and impacts not only ourselves but also those around us. It is a reminder that we hold the responsibility for the paths we take. The choices we make define who we are as individuals. They reflect our values, priorities, and the principles we uphold. Whether it is a small decision like what to eat for breakfast or a significant life-altering choice, such as selecting a career path or a life partner, these decisions shape our journey and determine the outcomes we experience. While it is true that we are influenced by external factors and circumstances, it is ultimately our own responsibility to make mindful choices. We have the power to evaluate options, weigh the pros and cons, and consider the long-term effects of our decisions. It is crucial to recognize that the choices we make not only impact ourselves but also have a ripple effect on others. Choosing wisely requires self-awareness, critical thinking, and a clear understanding of our values and goals. It means considering the consequences and potential outcomes of our actions. It involves taking into account the impact on our well-being, relationships, and the world around us. By making informed and conscious choices, we can align our actions with our values and work towards creating a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. However, with the power of choice also comes the responsibility to accept the consequences of our decisions. We cannot escape the outcomes of our choices, whether they are positive or negative. It is essential to take ownership of our actions and learn from both the successes and failures. By doing so, we can grow, adapt, and make better choices in the future. In a world filled with countless possibilities and constant change, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the weight of decision-making. However, it is important to remember that we have the ability to shape our own lives through the choices we make. So, let us embrace this responsibility, make choices that align with our values, and strive to create a future that we can be proud of. Choose wisely, for our choices have the power to shape our destiny. Today’s Challenge Have you been making good or bad choices for your life and the people you choose to be in your life?

The Principle of Least Effort was proposed in 1949. It says that people will take the path or action requiring the least amount of mental and physical effort. Great if the effort is an employee delivering the results you want, a pain in the proverbial if the results are not what you want! Demotion is not the answer that a lot of employers would think of as a first course of action but if you are thinking of demoting someone check out our blog first!

Always, in all situations, the reputation of your #company is infinitely more important than your title. Same situation if you work as #selfemployed: your personal reputation will enter the room before you. 👈 Let's take just 2️⃣ examples: for nothing you're a #SeniorVP for a construction company, if that company has a bad reputation related to safety. Same way: for nothing you're a HR Director of a big bank, if the respective bank is known in the market for its bad work environment. Remember: your professional success is largely due to the good reputation of your employer. And to a lesser extent to the fact that you are or not a big boss in that company. 👈☝️ Good luck! #AndreiVuta #StructureandClarity #Linkedin #integrity #businessreputation

The power of a #diploma, a formal confirmation of acquired #knowledge and #skills, plays a significant role in professional #development. Holding a diploma often opens doors to better employment opportunities and career advancement. ✅ Firstly, a diploma attests to an individual's abilities and competencies in a specific field. Employers often seek candidates with relevant education, making having a diploma significantly increase the chances of finding employment in the desired professional area. ✍️ Secondly, a diploma can be seen as an indicator of self-discipline, meticulousness, and the ability to persevere in pursuing goals. The process of obtaining education requires dedication, effort, and determination, which can be interpreted by employers as positive traits in a candidate. 👌 However, the strength of a diploma is not the sole determining factor in professional development. Equally important are practical skills, work experience, and the ability to learn and adapt in a dynamic work environment. 🌐 In conclusion, a diploma can be a powerful tool in professional development, paving the way for new employment opportunities and advancement. However, it is equally important to continue personal and professional development by acquiring new skills and experiences. 🤝

Have you ever wondered what competencies HR BP should have to support organizations at different stages? Together with dr Natalia Dernowska-Żaczyk, we decided to investigate this through a survey with in-depth interviews and describe the results in a scientific article. At what stage of HR Business Partnering are you - development stages and main development challenges? During the 40th edition of the Kongres Kadry in Warsaw, we presented three stages of HR BP that we distinguished. 💡The early operational stage is characterized by HR BP focusing on operational and administrative tasks, having little influence on strategic decisions. The activities are reactive, and the role of HR BP is limited to meeting everyday organizational needs such as recruitment, selection, onboarding, etc. On the other hand, the late operational stage is when HR BP begins to engage in activities that go beyond daily operations, supporting managers in more complex HR processes. 💡The early tactical stage highlights that HR BP is involved in operational and tactical tasks. It begins as a partner for managers, supporting them in talent management and short-term planning. Although its influence on strategic decisions is still limited, the role of HR BP is becoming more balanced. In contrast, HR BP increasingly influences decision-making processes in the late tactical stage, especially in talent management, etc. Cooperation with managers is a partnership, and HR BP initiates proactive actions supporting business goals. 💡The early strategic stage is when HR BP becomes a critical strategic partner, cooperating with top management in creating HR strategies that support long-term business goals. HR BP influences decisions regarding change management and the development of organizational culture. In the late strategic stage, HR BP plays a central role in shaping the organizational strategy, acting as a strategic advisor at the highest level. In our research, we indicated what competencies should be invested in to prepare for the role of HR BP in the next stage. We also discussed the challenges we may face at each stage, from employees, managers, management, and even ourselves as HR Business Partners. During the talks at the conference, I heard that the best and only stage in such a case is strategic HR Business Partnering, but is it possible to implement it everywhere? 🎯The study showed no best stage because if the organization is at the beginning of the road or after crucial operational changes, the change from HR Business Partner to strategic is still too early. After all, you must first build the operational background so the organization can function. However, it is good to know at what stage I am in my organization as HR BP and what competencies I need to enter the next stage. ✍Do you know what competencies you need as HR BP in your organization, and at what stage are you in this role???

Have you heard? Another rejection. You– again, just one out of hundreds of candidates. Oh, fate foils us.  Again, and again! What must we do? We have tried crossing fingers, waiting, and the tried “weighted” die– but none luck (And misfortune again, I confess there is no weighted die in the resume world) But as we wait with our crumpled resume and disordered spirits,  Another applicant strides by with feverish eyes. This is Nancy Jones. She is a resume legend by this point. Foiled twice more than we– She is determined. And is just now launching a new offensive: A resume formatting offensive. Alas, let us rally to this cause! But there is more to this. Nancy Jones is using hard skills targeted to her selected job description. (See previous posts on these wonder keywords) This is just one part of her resume but it’s an important step. Without targeted hard skills (keywords), she is less likely to be qualified by the recruiter.  After all– if the recruiter notices Nancy doesn’t have the skills mentioned in the job description: Why should he approve her? Here’s the plan: First, Nancy compiles a list of 12-15 hard skills strategically relevant to her targeted job. For this, she will scan her job description for applicable hard skills. Second, she formats the new skills within the top third of her resume. Nancy knows they need to be accessible to the recruiter.. He will have very limited time and she wants her skills to catch his attention immediately when he is scanning the resume. But she also doesn’t want to waste resume space. Knowing this, she creates a 4x3 row including her skills in bullet points without the line border. For each spot available she places a skill, providing the recruiter with an accessible but efficient format to assess her skills again– within the top third of her resume. Third–well, that’s it. Really, it’s that simple. For now, that is, more best practices to come) Later, as I mope about the rigours of fate, Nancy Jones walks up to the recruiter in a different, much more drab setting. He looks up from a squeaky swivel chair with hollow eyes:    “Oh, hey, wow. You’re back–That is actually crazy.”  And with a brief hello, she takes her resume and sets it down on the tower of papers.   (She is a bit bold, so she stands up and places it on the very top of the stack)  Regarding this part of the resume, there is nothing more she can do, but she is confident the best is done.  Her hard skills are listed in the top third of her resume.   They are targeted to the job description.   And they support the value proposition of her resume: the value she brings to the employer.  Happy day.  But–this leaves one question:   What are your hard skills?
