Knowledge, competence, talent – what counts in the end: liquid skills!

So what are skills?

Tandemploy means “think big” – and this also applies to our definition of skills:

”Skill is the infinite potential of people in an organization. It is everything people bring with them and want to contribute.”

(The sky’s the limit and so on.)

When is a skill a skill

If you want to work with skills, the definition should be a bit more specific. Because not only the HR department has clear criteria and classifications, our skill matching software also follows a system that identifies and classifies skills. And: If we want to discuss skills that companies urgently need now and in the future, we need to be clear about what we are talking about. Read more

There is no second chance for a good onboarding! – Bring new colleagues on board with these tools

Employee Experience – Touchpoint 1: 

In our series “Employee Experience” we will highlight all critical touchpoints of the  “Employee Journey”. Today: Onboarding.  

It’s 2008, on a plane to London. On board: an aspiring intern with butterflies in her stomach. Huge anticipation, because getting the position was not easy. She’s really looking forward to giving it her all. The sky’s the limit and so on.

When she finally pushes through the narrow glass door to the offices in the City of London, huge backpack on her back – sweaty but happy – ready for more warmth, a bit of glitter and confetti….nothing happens. Instead of a warm welcome, as the previous email correspondence had led her to expect, her contact person doesn’t even get up from his chair. He is kind of in the middle of something.

She is left standing there and doesn’t know what to do with herself. There is no desk for her. The rom-com she had envisioned in her head of the intern from Berlin that turns the London PR world upside-down is showing first signs of turning into a tragedy.

Will it really turn out to be this terrible? Read more

“War for Skills”: Get the changemakers out of the isolation of the labs!

In the past few weeks, we have repeatedly been attested war-like circumstances in view of Covid-19. For HR managers nothing new so far. They have been at war for years, the “War for Talents”. This bellicose phrase has become part of the standard vocabulary in the HR field.

There are three main reasons for the tough HR challenges in the talent market:

  • the global competition,
  • the demographic shift,
  • the change in values, especially among young people.

Covid-19 and its aftermath now give the combating parties – companies all over the world – an involuntary cease-fire. The uncertain situation has led to hiring freezes and consequently to free time, which HR staff could and should use to reevaluate whether, over the past years, they have been fighting for the best people with the right “weapons”.

Don’t mess with your X: Anyone can manage HR! But what about designing HX?

Employee Experience begins with empathy. If a company’s talent managers really want to understand what experiences people make in the course of their professional life, they have to try putting themselves in their position as best as possible. To feel what they feel. To understand their needs. Only then can they design products that create positive experiences in connection with working in the company.

Wait a second, “Products”?? But employees aren’t customers! Or are they? Read more

Dance to the Algorithm: The Tandemploy Data Check – imitation encouraged

Remember May 2018? That was the month the expansion of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted. Months in advance people were up in arms about what this new regulation would mean for software vendors and email marketing (newsletters). Well, and then May came and went and, surprisingly, life continued in a normal and unexcited manner. Wouldn’t it be great if we could maintain that level of normalcy and calm, while engaging in an even more extensive discussion about data that has the potential to radically change the way we work and live? Let’s dive right in. Read more
