It's a wrap! Our annual #reward event was a resounding success, with a fully packed KPMG Belgium auditorium and a lot of engaging topics. Over 150 participants walked away with several key takeaways, including: 🚘 More and fewer company cars: The mobility budget is becoming a staple in compensation packages, yet we also see an increase in the number of cafeteria plan cars, with a lot of attention points for electric cars and the chargings stations. 💰 Flexible Reward remains highly trending, with #multimedia being the most popular benefit. Other trends include car upgrades, charging stations, and insurance. ⚧️ Increased pay & reward #transparency: Preparations for the new EU Transparency Directive need to start urgently. A Total Reward Statement could be a good first step. We also shared insights from our Spanish colleagues, where reporting obligations have been in place for much longer. Data is key! ⚡ Withholding tax reductions are certainly not just a tick-the-box exercise. Additional measures, such as the 'bis-regime,' make creating a solid #defense file crucial. A special thanks to Peter Lenaerts, reward manager at Brussels Airport for the very insightful testimonial on five years of experience with their #cafeteria plan! Also a big thanks to all our speakers: Carolien Van Echelpoel, Deborah Wyslanskyi, Freya Potoms, Jonathan Bomal, Kathleen Veugelen, Megan Salembier, Pascal Borgoens and Thomas Goemaere! #KPMGreward

"I’ll never work for a Big Four."   That’s what a younger me once thought. Yet here I am, with LinkedIn reminding me to celebrate my 8-year journey at KPMG Belgium 💙 —and, even more exciting, my promotion to Director! 🎉 Looking back, I vividly remember those early days. Coming from academia, I was thrown into a new world of policies, procedures, compliance, risk management, timesheets, tight deadlines, and last-minute changes. It was overwhelming at first, and I struggled quite a lot, but I’m so grateful I took that leap . Over those years, KPMG has been much more than just a workplace. It’s a company that upholds quality and integrity above all else, fosters a culture of collaboration, works intensively on diversity and inclusion and encourages every individual to seize opportunities and grow both professionally and personally. KPMG has been the place that made a difference to me . Celebrating this promotion, a special thanks to Bart Meyer – my coach and mentor over the past year, for showing me new dimensions of leadership and guiding me towards this new role. Peter Van den Spiegel and Nicolas Dubois - the founders of our Lighthouse family—thank you for every opportunity, for believing in me, for constantly challenging me. I’m grateful every day to be part of your team, delivering impactful projects in data and AI together.   Here's to many more years ahead 🚀! Picture dates from my first year at KPMG when we were rated 1st in Data & Analytics by Forrester Research and where we had the splendid idea to celebrate with 10.000 balloons 😅   #KPMGBelgium #AI #KPMGLighthouse

AI can help our workers provide better service and be efficient (ai for good) but there is some concern AI is being used to watch them (AI for evil). How are you introducing AI in a way that builds trust from your workforce? Also, let me know if you think we can coin AI-vil (get it?) for when AI is used in ways workers don’t trust. ( evil—> AI + evil —> AIvil 👿. “that’s so aivil”) ah, meh.

🧐 With that old phone, the communication seems difficult between Astrid and I 😂 This week, we are talking about diversity at PwC Luxembourg and obviously, it is impossible to ignore the #generationalgap. 📼 ☎ 📠 or 💾 , everything was there to remind us that time passes and that with it, the flow of generations takes shape. Boomers, Gen Z, X or Millenials have notable differences that cannot be ignored. But how can we turn this difficulty into an opportunity for businesses? How to improve living and working together? To avoid misunderstanding, divergences and conflicts, I am putting down a few loose ideas here: 💥 let's encourage the oldest to pass on their knowledge to the youngest through mentoring or simply working in pairs 💥let's strengthen the bond between the teams by promoting each person's skills 💥let's train and inform to develop understanding, tolerance and the desire to reach out to others and defuse age-related stereotypes 💥 let's establish a transparent dialogue and then maintain communication between everyone at all costs ✍ Do you have other ideas to share? Working in an #inclusiveenvironment where #diversity is recognized as a strength is an enrichment to experience on a daily basis. I am lucky to be able to live in this kind of environment that I call “my people laboratory”. 😍
