Cegid | Launch of Season 2 of 'HR Debatable' Podcast

In a dynamic world where Human Resources is constantly evolving, Cegid, a global provider of cloud business management solutions for finance (cashflow, tax, ERP), human resources (payroll, talent management), CPAs, retail, and other entrepreneurial sectors, proudly announces the launch of the second season of their groundbreaking podcast 'HR Debatable'.

Hosted by renowned HR influencer Neelie Verlinden, this series brings engaging conversations with HR experts discussing controversial topics and trends in the HR field. 'HR Debatable' promises enlightening insights and lively debates, taking listeners through the diversity of opinions within HR.

A Stage for Challenging HR Opinions

Unique to 'HR Debatable' is the focus on less conventional, yet significant opinions on current and sometimes controversial HR topics. Each episode features two different HR experts engaging in discussion under the guidance of Neelie Verlinden, a well-known HR influencer and expert in the field of The Future of Work.

The successful first season included guests such as Suzanne Lucas (a.k.a. ‘The Evil HR Lady’), Teske Schröder (HR Director at Planon), and Andreas Irmer (Regional HR Director at Cegid). This led to interesting discussions on topics such as the relevance of the CV, the sense and nonsense of leadership development, and the latest HR buzzwords.

Renowned Speakers in Season 2 of 'HR Debatable'

Season 2 of 'HR Debatable' promises a series of impressive international guests again. In the first episode, Cegid welcomes Tracie Sponenberg, Founder and Chief People Officer at Tracie Sponenberg LLC, and Paul LaLonde, Vice President of People & Culture at CEDA. They will delve deeply into current statements such as the impact of 'Return to Office' on productivity and company culture, the importance of employee recognition, and the biggest challenges of working in HR as of 2024. Other notable speakers this season include Alex Hernandez, co-founder and brand ambassador of Jobgether, and Vanessa Monsequeira, Sustainability Strategist at Philips Innovation Services. Their insights and experiences promise lively discussions and interesting viewpoints.

Challenging Statements in Season 2

These challenging hypotheses of discussion to be addressed this season include:

• "In 2024, the four-day workweek becomes the norm."
• "Degrees are overrated - skills are more important in hiring."
• "Employee monitoring is necessary for productivity and safety."

These thought-provoking discussion topics have been carefully chosen to stimulate and challenge, offering HR professionals the opportunity to reconsider established views. Host Neelie Verlinden: "If I had to describe HR Debatable in three words, I would say stimulating, candid, and incredibly entertaining."

A Must-Listen for HR Professionals

The show is hosted by Neelie Verlinden, a well-known HR influencer and expert in the field of The Future of Work. Available on the Cegid website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other channels, this podcast offers a bi-weekly dose of stimulating debates.
