Just seeing your attentiveness to people's ideas and interests and your clear insight, Rik, I know you could transform people's experiences with HR. This is so great.
This is interesting, Rik. At my company, the HR department reports to me. Just a few weeks ago I had a meeting with our HR manager and a consultant that we hired. He explained that the HR managers job is to make sure that each employee is reaching their full potential, and this should be achieved through training, one-on-one discussions, and generally making sure we have people matched up with the position that suits their personality best. We have always taken a more bureaucratic approach to HR where it was more about policies and procedures than people. The ideas you lay out here are not that far off from what the consultant explained to us as “the way HR should work.”
Very nice. Great to hear your real-life experience here because I really have no clue about what traditional (probably bureaucratic) HR is all about. I obviously agree with the consultant and I'd say that if that's the case, employing a coaching vision and values throughout the company would be the way to do it :)
Embedding coaching in HR... This could truly be a gamechanger. Your take on coaching and people development has always been so magnetic. And you're only just beginning!
Right?! I can also image how lovely it must be to work at a company with coaching as its backbone (not to mention it would benefit the bottom line I suspect).

Thanks Alissa, I really think there's something there (for me). I find myself suddenly looking into the field :)

Who knows ;) I bet there are lots of people doing this already, I'm just not familiar with them yet. Wendy had to show me :)
Love the hopeful message Rik. Can definitely see how someone like you can transform a company by instilling a coaching mindset. Keep aiming up.
