 Dream Team

"Nobody is perfect but a team can be"

How much of a dream team are you?

  The world is evolving, companies are changing, and so are people. Besides the Intellectual Quotient (IQ), that measures the knowledge and the expertise, also the awareness regarding the need to develop the Emotional Quotient (EQ) arises, along with the adjustment of the Physical Quotient (PhQ).  In order to stay ahead of the pack, you need to develop these 3 key dimensions.

  Team dynamics are key to the success of the projects in companies. 

 The presentation will make very clear links between sport teams and business teams.

 We will discover how to gradually transform a group of individualities into a welded team and then make this team evolve into a well performing Dream Team.

 Together, we will discover the 6 basic ingredients to make a success of the alchemy of trust and synchronization of Dream Team, and the best techniques to reach the highest degree of pro-activity and personal implication.

  The techniques of the Mentally Fit Institute originate straight from the training program of top athletes and specialize in the development of EQ and PhQ to help individuals, teams and companies to grow to their full potential.

Because the world is changing ,…  

Faced with an increased demand for part-time work? Part-time work is often a contradictory debate amongst the Senior Management Teams.

However, flexibility is no longer an option - it is an essential component of an overall business strategy and a must for long term sustainability.

Flexible Work schedule, Appropriate Workload, and Predictable Working Hours deliver the vast majority of attraction returns from a Work-Life Proposition.

Effectively building and managing a Work–Life Proposition enables organizations to increase their total talent pool of candidates and improves retention

·         This evening will provide you with a round-up of the latest key trends of part-time work and with the results of a part-time work survey conducted

    amongst the Belgian pharma market and CP 218 companies. 

·         You will also have the opportunity to identify what types of Work–life practices are most important for Employees and Key-trends on Global Work-Life Propositions.

Dear Ladies,

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, 22^nd January 2008.  This event will be hosted by EUBELIUS cvba.

Please confirm your attendance via the website.

Special guest speakers are Véronique Pertry and Marieke Wyckaert, attorneys working at EUBELIUS.

The enterprise in a new dress: the crucial role of the HR manager in the restructuring of companies.

Share and assets deals, IPO, Public takeover bids, transfer of undertaking, venture capitalists and other types of restructurings have become core business for the top management in companies and thus also for the HR manager.

HR Managers today are supposed to know exactly what the CEO, finance manager or legal counsel are talking about when they are proposing the next transaction that the company will set up or undergo.  Moreover the HR Manager is supposed to identify the potential consequences of such operations for the personnel and to know e.g. what the role of the works council will be during the restructuring or transaction.

On January 22, 2008 neHRA has invited two lawyers (female lawyers!) who have experienced through their work together how the corporate law side and the personnel law side of restructurings interfere and influence each other.

neHRA member Véronique Pertry (employment lawyer and professor labour law at the University of Antwerp ) together with Marieke Wyckaert (corporate lawyer and professor company law at the KUL) will  introduce you in the fast evolving world of transactions and deals.  They will of course focus in particular on the consequences for the personnel and on the role the HR manager confronted with restructurings.

Program:

18.30 - 19.00 hrs     Arrival time

19.00 –20.00 hrs     Presentation by Marieke Wyckaert and Véronique Pertry,

The Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) has the mission to develop leadership to benefit society worldwide. Women leaders have been a long-standing focus in CCL, with both development programmes and research initiatives targeted specifically for them. Much of our research has investigated how women leaders in different sectors combine their multiple roles of career woman, leader, mother, spouse, daughter, and other roles and find their personal way of work-life balance. More recently, this research has been extended to include male leaders and looked at impact of family roles onto one's management capabilities: Are mums and dads better managers than others?

In this presentation, Dr Regina Herzfeldt, post-doctoral Fellow for Research and Innovation in CCL Europe, will review the accumulated experience on women leaders in CCl, and present the findings of this latest CCL research with its implications for policies and practices regarding work-life balance.

This event will be hosted by VOLVO Construction Equipment.

Pensions: a necessity of life that remains often unknown until (too) late.

Women and pensions is an even more tricky combination since women are taking/are subject to decisions during their active career that may have

important consequences on their later pension(s);

The topic "Women and Pensions" will be looked at from a double focus:

1. "Female careers and pensions": what are the consequences of career choices such as part time work, career interruption, parental leave, etc. on

the legal and extra-legal pensions;

2. "Female lifes and pensions": what are the consequences of family choices, mariage, divorce, etc. on the legal and extra-legal pensions.

Speakers are Elisabeth Alofs and Véronique Pertry.

Elisabeth is a young lawyer working at university (VUB, UA) as an assistant professor. She is preparing a doctoral thesis on the interfaces

between family law and social security. She will focus on the second topic.

Véronique is an employment attorney at Eubelius and professor labour law at the Antwerp University. She has since many years a special interest in pension issues.

Purpose is not to give a more theoretical exposé, but to give many concrete examples.

Program:

Social Media: What? Why? When?
We are living in the computer assisted age of making and maintaining relationships.  As HR is a key player in the "relationship" business this media can't be ignored as part of our business strategy.  However, to use these tools effectively both personally and professionally, we need to know what tools are out there.  What is the focus of each? How are they currently being used? What are the advantages/disadvantages for using them in the HR environment? 

 In the HR environment, we often look at "relationships" from the perspective of "engagement".  Engagement itself can refer to recruitment, employee motivation and customer loyalty.  Therefore, the session will look at social media in these three contexts.
