Speaking of SAP’s #mentalhealthday yesterday, here is what I got the chance to do! Biking with colleagues in one of the most beautiful cities on the planet was a great way to take a step back from work and experience something meaningful. #humanexperience
Preparing students for an #AI future is a big challenge. #BusinessBuilders combines real scenarios with hands-on learning, building confidence in data-driven decisions. At @SAP, we’re proud to help equip students with critical skills for the future. news.sap.com/2024/12/busine…
#Employeerelations is shifting. Cutting #engagement, learning, and support to save costs puts companies at risk of losing top talent. Employees want #growth, recognition, and real investment in their future. Without it, they’ll find it elsewhere. forbes.com/councils/forbe…
#AI can spot #disengagement early, but real impact comes from how #leaders respond. People disengage when they feel unheard, not from a lack of data. AI’s value is freeing time for real conversations, the kind that make people want to stay and contribute. shrm.org/topics-tools/n…
This got me thinking about how trust shapes the workplace. #Empowerment starts with #leadership: setting clear goals and providing support so teams feel ready to take ownership. When we build trust, we unlock incredible potential. #EX forbes.com/councils/forbe…
#Mentorship evolves with you. Even great leaders learn from mentors, peers, and experience because there’s always room to grow. Different perspectives and honest feedback help navigate tough decisions. A strong mentorship #culture builds better teams and future leaders.
While #tech evolves rapidly, success relies on people. Focusing on culture and skills drives #innovation. Leaders must build trust, foster learning, and align tech with human potential to create space for growth and meaningful progress. #HR news.sap.com/2025/01/people…
Building a future-forward workforce means blending #AI with human strengths. Use AI for routine tasks, giving teams space for creativity, empathy, and problem-solving. Prioritize #learning to prepare for change, and foster purpose-driven workplaces where #innovation thrives.
I truly believe that a positive #WorkExperience goes beyond just the tasks we’re assigned. It’s about feeling connected to the team, having a sense of purpose, and knowing that your contributions are valued. How do you think companies can better support their employees?
I’m really excited about #SAP’s new loyalty management solution announced at Retail’s Big Show! It’s designed to help retailers and consumer goods companies create better #customerexperiences, which I think is so important. What do you think about it? erp.today/sap-launches-l…
I agree with Dr. Granger that leaders need to create open communication, address concerns, and focus on #EmployeeEngagement to get the most out of #AI. It’s all about the human side! #TrustInLeadership #HR unleash.ai/artificial-int…
Helen Foster’s interview is such a refreshing take on the future of HR. I love how she embraces career “squiggles” and shows how non-linear paths can bring so much value. #HRLeadership #CareerInspiration #HumanTouch #FutureOfWork hrmagazine.co.uk/content/featur…
Has anyone read "I Said This, You Heard That by Kathleen Edelman?" I’d love to hear your thoughts! Did you find the framework helpful in real-life situations? Let me know, this one’s definitely going on my reading list. 📚✨#BookRecommendation

I couldn’t agree more. Giving employees headspace is essential, but complexity often drains energy, creativity, and focus. #Leaders must prioritize what matters most and simplify the workplace. A clear, supportive #culture empowers employees to thrive. #EX thehrdirector.com/features/emplo…

#HR tech is evolving fast, focusing on #EX with AI-driven personalization & engagement. It’s moving from surface fixes to driving #culturaltransformation, presenting a great opportunity for leaders to use tech to amplify collaboration, and innovation. hrotoday.com/hr-technology/…
This report highlights a fresh perspective on #leadership and #HR. When we lead with honest communication and understanding, we create a #culture where people aren't just employees, they're part of something bigger, where they can truly grow. shrm.org/topics-tools/e…
