Looking at labor mobility from a different angle!

23 november 2017

REQUEST

Facta non Verba is a platform for the promotion of labor mobility, for knowledge sharing and actively getting started with job placement in South Holland. The assignment: organize an inspiring session for HR managers about the changing labor market, labor mobility, formal / informal learning and collaboration, where participants can share their knowledge.

IMPLEMENTATION

Approximately 80 HR managers from the vicinity of Rotterdam participated in the World Cafe. In her contribution, Edith Jacobs – policy coordinator of Urban Development for the Municipality of Rotterdam – shares that the city, the economy and people are changing. This requires a vision, strategy and a personal development plan from the business community and employees. Paul Smit introduces the World Cafe with an inspiring keynote speech about how the human brain works.

THEMES

During the 3 rounds of the World Cafe the HR Managers, in a continued different mix of people at each round table, form a dialogue with each other on the following topics: collaboration, innovation and life-long learning. Many ideas are shared about how to realize tangible plans. During the plenary feedback session the outcomes are discussed.

The annual networking event, in short:

The atmosphere during the event was exactly right in which to share insights and knowledge. The contribution by the moderator and the flash presentation stimulated and inspired participants to form a dialogue with each other during the World Café. The session fully met the objective set out by Facta non Verba.
