Today, I’m extremely excited to introduce our Swedish language readers to our latest peek inside HR at Spotify – a book! BOLD: Strategiskt HR-arbete i en ny tid (translates to: BOLD: Strategic HR in a new era), showcases a new school of thought within the HR industry. It’s about how we view our profession and […]
While we experience a major upheaval at work, and within HR, the expectation is that numerous physical events will continue to be cancelled, meaning the online industry specific content continues to boom. And we’re beyond ready to be part of that. Based on 2020’s HR The Real Deal Video On Demand series, Spotify HR is […]
Feeling that love/hate relationship with the traditional tools and processes for developing people? More specifically; the career frameworks and the typical career paths that we have gotten used to, that go hand-in-hand with hierarchical job architectures built on level structures and impressive business titles. While we don’t question the intent of them, like clarity for […]
Sharing our take Back in 2015 when we launched our Lead On Leave initiative, the Global Parental Leave Program, we knew we were on to something.

It was time to start my own business, I decided. […]
At Spotify, we don’t measure recruiters on hires. What is the best way of measuring success for a recruiter? The traditional way of doing it is to measure the Talent Acquisition team members on how many hires they make. And for many reasons, it seems like a reasonable way of doing it. It’s easy to […]
Trends in HR If you work in HR you’ve probably seen some of these headlines the past couple of years: “The death of performance reviews”, “HR needs a revolution”. There’s certainly a new buzz topic out there, but how much should you listen to it and what should you do? I’m always cautious about getting […]
Trend or just a flash in the pan? Lately I had a lot of reasons to reflect on why HR is such a fashion victim. Sometimes in silence, often in anxiety and sometimes a little more loudly.
