IE HR Talks: Culture of curiosity to increase engagement and performance.

Re-inventing the workplace is a complex challenge and takes a lot of courage and tenacity. It means that we have to unlearn many things that have proved successful in the past and adapt new ways of living and working at the same time. In the past two years, we have worked around these concepts in a traditional business to become employer of choice, based on the promise that people can be who they are and become who they want to become. The DNA project builds on three pillars: increasing corporate wellbeing by improving behavior, improving results by increasing the number of meaningful communications and improving our brand image in the market of parcel delivery.

In this masterclass, Wim will share how individual employees decided to start the project, what happened along the way and where they are now, including facts and results.  It is a journey of turning values into observable behavior and honest feedback. A change project including new technologies that instill the collective intelligence and nurture sociocracy development, breaking down traditional laws of industry. Building a shared purpose and aligning all hearts, not just to reach a better result, but also to live a better life. You will learn how the triangle of individuals, teams and companies can be a positive accelerator towards higher performance and happiness. After this talk, Wim will also be speaking about our Master in Talent Development & Human Resources  and what makes it a unique program.
