R&D and HR Managers working together for a successful R&D organisation

05.09.2011

Summary


This Round Table will explore practical examples of close co-operation between HR and R&D Managers in tackling major challenges for ensuring future competitiveness of R&D.

Issues addressed


• Discuss the perspective for future generation (baby boomers vs. generations X and Y) and cultural changes. Explore the issue of tutoring and transitions between senior/younger managers, and the place for life long learning;
• Look at the challenges while identifying current and future critical competences for R&D organisations. Learn to build and coordinate innovative long term vision of people with a broader competence level;
• Manage career perspectives: how to manage career for experts and provide them with similar opportunities as managers? R&D often being the entry point for a career within companies, the question is how to keep employees motivated all along their professional life?
• Discover examples of how organisations are addressing diversity today. Hear why it becomes an issue and what is at stake. What can organisations gain in their competitiveness through promoting diversity and in managing the “work life – private life” balance?
