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

“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

What is Skill Matching and why should we do it?

Simply put, a matching process brings together what belongs together. To each their own or a lid to every pot – or rather, learning needs and know-how or project and skills. And here we are, right in the middle of Skill Matching and the question of what the whole thing has to do with the changing world of work.

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

#BigIdeas2020: Forget the hype around “Big Data” – from now on let’s build a hype around “Good Data”!

2020 could be the year in which we consistently start using good data to facilitate good work flows. Good, in the sense of “good for everyone” – for companies and their goals, for employees and for society as a whole. But also for the sake of planetary resources. Because a resource-conserving lifestyle is closely related to a working world that allows for the freedom to engage in a responsible and conscience lifestyle outside of work.

How can this be successful?

The simple answer might be: through digitalization. If machines took over more jobs and human work could be automated, then everyone would have more time, right?

Unfortunately, it isn’t quite as simple as that. Read more

Study on knowlegde transfer in companies: Employees want to – but are prevented from doing so by structures

In the summer of 2019, we asked 100 people with and without management responsibility to answer the following questions: How well does knowledge transfer work in your company? What sources do you and your employees use to inform you? How well do you know your colleagues? And would you like to learn more from them? We were particularly interested in whether there were differences between employees with and without management responsibility.

People Analytics: Know your team just as well as your customers!

There are two groups that companies probably know pretty well:

their customers
their competition.

Because they pay a lot of attention to both right from the start: target group analysis, sales pitches, customer journey, competitor analysis, tracking, clustering… and so on. The idea behind it: the product must fit 100%! Then we’ll be successful – and better than the competition.

This thinking certainly has its justification. In 1980. Today, it’s outdated. Read more
