Vlad Mircea Gireadă Shares HR Insights in an Interview with Global HR Manager

In a recent interview with GlobalHRManager.ro, Vlad Mircea Gireadă, Business Development Manager at Nestor, shared valuable insights on the evolving expectations of employees and how companies can adapt to meet these changes. His observations highlight the significant role that career opportunities and learning prospects play in talent retention, especially among younger generations.

Career Opportunities and Learning: Key Drivers for Talent Retention

Vlad notes a discernible shift in employee expectations, emphasizing the importance of career growth and continuous learning. “From our close collaboration with diverse organizations across various industries and recent studies, we have observed a change in employee desires and expectations. Career and learning opportunities contribute decisively to talent retention, a trend particularly pronounced among younger generations,” he explains.

Nestor’s platform aids HR departments and managers in identifying team strengths and weaknesses, facilitating the creation of individual development plans for each employee. “At Nestor, employees gain visibility into career advancement possibilities and can easily identify the skills and competencies needed for promotion. They receive training suggestions and project opportunities for development, with this transparency being crucial for motivation and retention,” adds Vlad.

Bridging the Skills-Responsibilities Gap

Addressing performance and engagement, Vlad highlights the critical role of aligning skills with job responsibilities. “There are several ways to evaluate employee performance and engagement in achieving objectives, and an HR software like Nestor can certainly assist in this endeavor. The first step involves setting clear performance indicators and objectives. This way, every employee knows what is expected regarding individual performance, how they can contribute to organizational goals, and how their work impacts these objectives.”

Vlad stresses the importance of evaluating individual performance in relation to existing skills and competencies. “Assessing skills and aligning them with job-specific requirements is even more crucial in today’s dynamic environment, where the skills needed to perform in a particular role are continually evolving due to new technologies and emerging jobs,” he states.

Performance evaluations serve as a starting point for understanding strengths and identifying areas where employees need training to continue developing, perform at higher levels, and remain motivated.

Increasing Interest in AI for HR Processes

Vlad also observes a growing interest in AI applications for HR processes, aiming to enhance efficiency and support strategic decision-making based on data. “For example, the Nestor platform offers AI-based personalized suggestions to HR departments, managers, and employees in various areas such as L&D, organizational resource planning, and strategic insights. HR leaders can identify new competencies and skills needed in their industry for future development within the company. They can also receive recommendations for suitable employees for new projects or roles based on smart matching between employee skills and those projects or jobs.”
