HPP: Tapping the Netherlands' Potential
by Brian Trelstad Ideles KaandorpStichting Het Potentieel Pakken (HPP) was launched to solve a systemic problem in the Dutch Labor Market: gender inequity that was leading to a large number of women to work part-time in fields that were in desperately short supply of labor, like health care, child care and education. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dutch Medical Care Minister Tamara van Ark announced that it would provide a large grant to HPP, a non-profit that aimed to help organizations-like hospitals-tap into the full potential of the Dutch labor market by helping them better manage their part-time workforce. HPP's President and Founder Wieteken Graven wondered how HPP could grow from an annual budget of 450,000 to more than four times that within months. Could her team scale this quickly and what would happen when the government funding ended?
HR - vom administrativen Experten zum strategischen Business-Partner: Mehr Anerkennung und Einfluss für das Personalwesen in Unternehmen
by Doris Dull Ulrich L. ZischewskiDas Buch zeigt, warum es dem HR-Bereich bisher nicht gelungen ist, sich eine eigene Identität in Unternehmen aufzubauen und das Berufsbild zu festigen. Verantwortliche HR-Manager ringen in Unternehmen um Akzeptanz und Anerkennung und gelten eher als administrative Experten und nicht als strategische Business-Partner. Doch, warum ist das so und wie kann das Personalwesen seinen eigenen Einfluss auf das Unternehmensgeschehen geltend machen? Diesen Fragen gehen die Autoren dieses Fachbuchs nach. Die Autoren geben einen kurzen historischen Einblick in die Entwicklung der Personalarbeit und beschreiben anhand des vielfältigen Aufgabenspektrums, warum sich die Personaler zum Alleskönner entwickelt haben und die Personalfunktion dennoch überwiegend als Verwaltungsexperte und Kümmerer in der Organisation wahrgenommen wird. Sie erklären daher, welche Rollen, Aufgaben und Kompetenzen die HR-Funktion in den Kernprozessen beherrschen sollte und welche strategischen HR-Methoden in den jeweiligen Phasen des Business-Life-Cycle Sinn stiften, um dem Ziel, ein strategischer Partner zu sein, nahezukommen. Die Autoren machen zudem unmissverständlich deutlich, dass HR am Scheideweg steht, der entweder in eine Zukunft mit oder ohne HR führt.
