What if you could have a real life ChatGPT for HR Directors, but better... 9 months ago I started as a Chair with EGN Belgium (Executives'​ Global Network), for three groups of fantastic HR Directors. Each session has one main topic and what we call "Issue Processing" the possibility for each member to bring a burning issue or question and get the outside view from other HRD's. Far better than asking ChatGPT 😁 Topics we discussed in the passed months dealt with Employee Wellbeing & Engagement, Adapting HR Strategies for Gen Z & New Ways of Working, AI in HR (off course) and Leadership, Talent Retention, and Organizational Culture The most valued aspects of EGN membership, according to our members: 🔹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗥 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: Building strong connections for collaboration and support 🔹 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲: Learning from peers who have tackled similar challenges and sharing practical solutions 🔹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀: Venturing into areas not typically on the radar, broadening our horizons 🔹 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸: Stepping away from daily routines to gain a fresh perspective on our organizations All within a fun and psychologically safe environment #EGN #MakingEachotherBetter #HR

🌎📈 The amount of #wealth and the number of wealthy people have increased worldwide. But not in Belgium. That is just one of the fascinating insights from Capgemini's World Wealth Report. Some key takeaways from the report: - 75% of wealthy Belgians want to increase their allocation to private equity in search of higher return and diversification benefits. - 88% look to their wealth managers for guidance in their decision-making. By leaning on AI-powered behavioral finance, wealth managers can more easily identify their clients’ personal biases and help them avoid investment pitfalls. - 65% of the ultra-rich Belgians choose their wealth management firm based on the financial and non-financial value-added services.

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

Great spotlight on the importance of Positive Customer Experience yesterday at event organized by UBA & Kantar !! How inspiring is @StevenVanBelleghem with so many nice examples of brands/organizations/CEO's who have chosen for a 'crazy focus on CX' and keep doing (or even exceeding) day-in day-out across the organization what they promise !! ("CX is a choice... not only in Q1 :-) !") Also valuable insights from Kantar Belgium how leading (global & Belgian) brands not only keep clients satisfied ('the basics'), but do get them excited & even emotionally connected to their brand ! Execution, connection & emotion as key CX drivers for a 'Wow' impact ! Finally 2 detailed cases from Ikea & Argenta how they boost client-centricity to create impact on their customer experiences. Is your CEO/organization focusing on positive CX all year long ? Do get in touch @add-value @goCX if you want to optimize your customer experiences - from strategy & organization to implementation. #CXaCEOchoice #CXfocus #MorethanonlyinQ1 #Clientcentricbrands #KantarCXResearch (article in dutch)

36% of the employers see internal equality as the biggest challenge when it comes to #remuneration, says European survey by SD Worx. As a result, employees don’t always receive equal pay for equal work. This challenge is immediately followed by pay transparency (35%). It is astonishing that three out of ten employers are not fully aware of the legal rules around pay transparency, such as the EU Pay Transparency Directive of 10 May 2023. According to Bruce Fecheyr-Lippens, Chief People Director at SD Worx, there are four important pillars for a successful approach to remuneration. Starting with a strategic reward policy is the first one.

💡 One Minute Away from Being Smarter: Wage Indexation in Belgium 🔍 What is automatic wage indexation in Belgium? It is a mechanism put in place to ensure that employees maintain their purchasing power in line with inflation. It is the adjustment of minimum wages and pay levels in line with the cost of living. 🗓️ When is it applied? Depending on the Collective Labour Agreement of the service sector, it is annual or immediately applicable once the reference pivot-index has been reached. ❓ Can it be replaced by another kind of advantage? No. Indexation is -by no means- replacing a salary increase or a bonus… Nor may it be replaced by any advantage in kind. 📉 The impact of this automatic indexing on Finance budget and HR strategies can be significant: Companies must take into account an annual salary increase of x%, resulting from automatic indexation, with 'x' varying from an average 2% to as high as 11%! (Exceptional increase in January 2023 after the energy crisis & the impact of Ukraine war on goods.) This can impact their ability to offer competitive salaries for new employees, which can affect their recruitment efforts. 📊 In January 2025, the salaries of employees in the main Collective Labour agreements (CP118, 200, 220, 302, etc.) will be increased by about 3.5%, while the public sector will apply an indexation of 2%.

Finally, I figured out why we need to pay so much tax in Belgium 🤔: it took me * 14 clicks * 1 Itsme authentification * 3 new browser tabs * 2 pdf downloads * 5 extra clicks (because I thought there'd be a hover which wasn't there) * > 1 min … just to get notified that I’ve paid my taxes correctly. 👍🏽 @Federale Overheidsdienst Financiën: please reach out if you'd benefit from some coaching in customer centricity & simplification 🫱🏽‍🫲🏿 #CustomerCentricity #Simplification #OpenToWork #OpenForCoaching
