𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 Last week, around 110 colleagues from Finance, Data and Purchasing came together for our Career Day at L'Oréal DACH. From the start, the idea was simple: move the conversation away from titles and predefined steps towards direction. We talked about career paths - plural. Not all journeys are linear. And as roles in Finance continue to evolve, careers do too. Across panels and workshops, one theme kept coming back: real impact starts when we look below the surface and try to understand how people think, decide and engage. That’s why the agenda focused on skills that matter today and will matter even more tomorrow: storytelling, tech literacy, and giving uncomfortable feedback (thanks to our great trainers Dean Kaden, Caroline Voit, Dr. Jan Degener, Tobias Schmidt). Our Global HR Director for Finance, Data and Legal Christophe Gamet put it very clearly: the skills of the future are increasingly human skills. What I hope people took away from the day wasn’t a perfect plan. But a stronger sense of ownership.Which is why the motto felt right: 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 𝗢𝘄𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆. We closed the day by saying goodbye to our CFO Stephane Grimardias, a true role model for human leadership. A big thank you to everyone who made the day possible: the co-organizers Patricia Held Saskia Falk Stephanie JUNG-DELACOURT Gabriele Bachmann-Deutsch, panelists, speakers and trainers! #FutureSkills #Careers #ModernFinance #FinanceTransformation
