During the HR knowledge circle on April 16th, HR professionals from companies affiliated with the ICD gathered at ICD member Batenburg Bones<\/a> in Heerenveen. The goal was clear: share knowledge, exchange experiences, and look ahead together. With themes like generational differences and informal care, the meeting offered directly applicable insights for practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with Generation Gaps: Focus on Gen Z<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first part of the morning was dedicated to working with generational differences.\u00a0Peter de Boer<\/a> by\u00a0NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences<\/a>\u00a0took the participants along on his international research into Generation Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shows that Gen Z has clear expectations of work. This generation places great value on purpose, development opportunities, and flexibility. Additionally, a good work-life balance plays an important role. At the same time, the research showed that cultural and regional differences influence how these values are expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These insights are particularly relevant for organizations in the northern Netherlands. They help to better connect with young talent and to retain employees long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"HR<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Informal caregiving in the workplace: an underestimated issue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following this was a lunch lecture on informal care, provided by\u00a0A+O Metalektro<\/a>. This topic turned out to be an eye-opener for many attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more employees are combining their jobs with caregiving responsibilities. Currently, about one in four employees is a caregiver. Furthermore, this share is expected to increase in the coming years. However, the impact of this on work and employee well-being is often still underestimated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the importance of awareness was highlighted during the session. It also addressed how organizations can offer appropriate support. For example, consider flexibility in working hours or making the situation a topic of discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valuable insights for practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The combination of both themes led to deeper understanding and reflection. On the one hand, it was about the influx of young talent. On the other hand, it was about the sustainable employability of current employees. It is precisely this balance that makes HR policy future-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants indicated that the knowledge-sharing network yielded valuable new insights. In addition, the meeting provided an opportunity for discussion and sharing experiences with colleagues from the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"HR<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Learning together within the ICD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The HR knowledge circle is a permanent part of the collaboration within Innovatiecluster Drachten. Approximately four times a year, an HR knowledge circle is organized for the HR professionals of the affiliated companies. This way, knowledge and practice remain continuously connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meetings like these demonstrate the ICD's continued investment in strong employer practices in the region. This is because effective HR policies are essential for attracting, developing, and retaining talent.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
