Bad Tölz, Bavaria, Germany
I enjoy working together with a passionate global cross-functional team to drive our HR transformation at Siemens Energy. I am looking at ways to simplify and think with an open mind about continuous improvement that addresses the diverse needs of global organizations. I have a good sense for connecting the right people to solve problems across different organizations. I find balance to the global and demanding projects at work with my family and in the mountains at any time during the year.
In the HR Product Lifecycle Management team we look after the entire HR operations portfolio and its IT foundation, developing a roadmap for a future HR IT landscape in Siemens Energy. After managing day1 readiness of Siemens Energy HR - we carved-out from Siemens AG January 2020 and got publicly listed - I am leading the transformation workstream in a senior project called "NEO" which strives at globally outsourcing HR core services incl. payroll, admin, helpdesk, travel & expense, and the whole tech stack to a network of partners. We analyze and harmonize our HR processes globally to enable efficient mapping to a HR technology stack based primarily on cloud standard solutions like Workday, Avature, Concur, Fieldglass, ServiceNow as well as some custom solutions, e.g. for compensation management.
Together with a passionate global cross-functional team, I disruptively modernized Siemens' global employee survey approach and technology. We switched from a rather rigid and inflexible external employee survey platform to an internal approach enabling a culture change from a "reporting for managers" to "reports for the teams" approach. After an all-hands survey was run, every team member received a team report with full transparency - that triggered lots of constructive discussions within teams rather than managers potentially not even reading the survey result report at all. This was - at that time - a revolutionary approach and a milestone in how Human Resources was perceived in the company: modern & digital, useful & value-adding for the business.
As the governance owner of the "European HR Process and IT Template", I have been overseeing HR process and HR data standards for entire Europe to ensure transition of local HR services into a European Shared Services model. Following the "freedom within a frame"principle, all deviations from the standards that were identified by the rollout teams needed to go through an evaluation and approval process to justify the legal or business need.
I worked as a process analyst and solution architect of BASF's Learning Management System and helped to transform the inhouse learning management processes and teams into a shared services setup. The system served as the web-based learner front-end as well as the administrative backend for BASF global inhouse learning offering (and early e-learning at that time).
