Effective HR in Practice

From Strategy to Action

What makes HR truly effective? How do we move from good intentions to real value – for both the business and the employees?

In this talk, I focus on what defines effective Human Resource Management today. With over 20 years of experience as an HR leader, consultant, and lecturer, I share knowledge, tools, and concrete examples from both global corporations and smaller organizations.

The talk is based on HR’s core mission: creating results through people. It’s not about polished PowerPoints or abstract theories – it’s about making HR work in the real world. You’ll get inspiration for how HR or leadership can, for example:

  • Bridge the gap between business goals and HR activities
  • Create measurable value with simple KPIs and a clear annual cycle
  • Leverage data, digital tools, and AI without losing the human touch
  • Foster psychological safety, strong culture, and leaders who take responsibility
  • Prioritize and implement what actually works – in practice

The talk is always tailored to the audience – whether it’s HR professionals, managers, or the entire organization. It can serve as an inspiring part of a conference, a kickoff, or the start of an HR development day.

The style is direct, engaging, and entertaining – and guaranteed free of buzzwords, BS, and hot air. Expect a mix of experience, humor, and sharp expertise – and to leave with concrete ideas, aha moments, and fresh energy to make HR more effective and meaningful.
