ifm Group Services Gmbh

At ifm, one can read about
the direction in a global
HR strategy and there is a
good overview of
coordinated HR topics in
many languages.”
“
T
he intricate world of international automation
pulsates with the beat of innovation and at the
helm stands Steffen Fischer. He serves as a
pivotal force, guiding ifm group services gmbh as the
CHRO and a distinguished Executive Board Member.
Steffen is the maestro of holistic HR approaches,
managing a broad range of organizational design and
people-centric strategies. He is also a co-author of BPM
brochures such as 'Die Personalstrategie kompakt' and
'Der Personalstratege konkret,' delving deep into the
multifaceted realm of HR. His literary footprint extends
to the exploration of Artificial Intelligence's role in HR,
as evident in the 2019 publication 'Zwischen Euphorie
und Skepsis - KI in der Personalarbeit.’
Steffen's influence extends beyond ifm, as he assumed
the managerial helm of the strategic HR management
group at Bundesverband der Personalmanager e.V. in
2014. A testament to his global acumen, he took on the
role of Business Ambassador Singapore in 2015,
advocating for German small and medium-sized
enterprises on foreign shores.
For Steffen, HR is an exhilarating journey. Beyond the
products and solutions, he perceives the heartbeat of
any organization lying in its people and the intricacies
of organizational design—a realm distinctly shaped by
the HR manager. Steffen infuses this dynamic landscape
with a blend of expertise, emotional intelligence,
robustness, and an innate joy for human development.
In addition to his illustrious career at ifm group services
gmbh, Steffen's dedication extends beyond the
corporate realm to humanitarian efforts. As a Volunteer
Board Member of Doctors Without Borders, Steffen lends
his expertise as an HR professional to support the
organization's critical mission. While not a requirement,
his involvement with Doctors Without Borders
underscores his commitment to making a difference in
the world. This endeavor holds a special place in
Steffen's heart, reflecting his deeply held belief in the
importance of serving communities in need.
Transparent Threads
A holistic HR approach is crucial in the dynamic world
of corporate strategy. He emphasizes the need to
seamlessly integrate strategic considerations and
operational elements. At ifm, this approach is the
foundation of their success. The company's
commitment to making corporate goals tangible across
departments and global locations is evident in its global
HR strategy.
Steffen highlights that at ifm, transparency is key, with
an accessible overview of coordinated HR topics
available in multiple languages. The inclusive approach
involves all stakeholders fostering collaboration and
ensuring that jointly developed concepts contribute
real value to day-to-day operations. The company's
management matrix ensures that HR is on par with
other crucial departments such as production,
development, quality, finance, and sales.
Decentralization at ifm doesn't mean a lack of
coordination, rather it emphasizes the importance of
‘listening and networking,’ notes Steffen. The approach
focuses on constant adjustment and networking to stay
attuned to the diverse needs of a global workforce.
Moreover, ifm's commitment to a culture of continuous
improvement and engagement is about employee
satisfaction and also a strategic move to enhance
productivity and innovation. Steffen emphasizes how
this approach effectively develops and retains talent,
propelling the company's innovative strength and
growth.
Global Perspectives, Local Contributions
Starting his career at an international technology
company within DaimlerChrysler Aerospace, Steffen
reflects on the fortunate beginnings that shaped his
professional journey. “This gave me a vast network and
opportunities for collaboration,” he shares, emphasizing
the importance of early exposure to a global landscape.

His role which encompasses both classic HR tasks and
legal responsibilities involved extensive travel with
sales while providing a unique customer and sales
perspective that continues to influence his central HR
role today.
Steffen's stint at MTU further enriched his
understanding of HR dynamics emphasizing the
significance of a robust corporate culture and effective
talent management strategies. He delves into his
experience in international personnel management,
particularly with a German-Canadian joint venture
spanning Great Britain and South Africa. Reflecting on
the decentralization at a smaller location, he notes,
“I could actively contribute to the bigger picture,”
highlighting the value of local contributions in a global
context.
These experiences have deeply influenced Steffen's
convictions about the essentials of leadership.
He stresses the importance of clear communication and
tailored development programs for promoting effective
leadership and enhancing team performance. His
practical approach extends beyond conceptual
discussions, emphasizing the need to perform
operationally with day-to-day things. Steffen's journey
underscores the importance of real-world action in
shaping a successful HR strategy.
Benchmarking Excellence
Steffen self-describes as a “soccer fan constantly staying
on the ball” in the HR realm revealing his proactive
approach to staying abreast of industry trends.
Engaging with HR networks, participating in
professional conferences and collaborating with
solution providers keep him in the game. “Eventually,
you're in and get asked to take a stand on current HR
topics,” he notes.

For Steffen, this constant collaboration with industry
experts translates into continuous education and a
natural benchmarking process. “You are forced to
compare yourself with innovative HR practices of others,”
he states, underlining the importance of staying
competitive and forward-thinking. In his publications,
Steffen reflects on these experiences, using them to
‘process such topics’ and organize his insights for a
broader audience. This dynamic and engaged approach
defines Steffen's commitment to navigating the HR
landscape.
Transformative Trends
Reflecting on the early days of AI integration in HR,
Steffen acknowledges, “In 2019, we were very early -
probably too early.” Undeterred by the initial lack of
interest, he spearheaded the establishment of the AI-
HR-LAB platform, dedicated to AI solutions in HR. Fast
forward to today, Steffen sees a significant shift, “Today,
with the advent of user-friendly GPTs, it's different.”
Artificial intelligence, particularly user-friendly GPTs
presents transformative possibilities in HR spanning
recruitment to employee development.
Steffen envisions a future where AI tools play a pivotal
role in HR management facilitating data-driven
decisions and personalized employee experiences. He
emphasizes the potential of predictive analytics in
talent management and the automation of
administrative tasks to empower strategic HR
initiatives. However, he pragmatically notes that
challenges persist including the need for clear company
usage regulations, robust data protection measures,
stringent data security, and resolution of copyright
issues.
From Pitfalls to Progress
In his current role, Steffen gains a broader perspective
on the HR landscape emphasizing the significance of
networking and cross-industry exchange. This
experience has fueled his passion to position HR as a
strategic partner within the company, his ‘professional
Many HR managers jump
too quickly into specific
HR topics without first
understanding the overall
strategy of their own
company.”

home.’ Steffen's main insight highlights a common
pitfall, “Many HR managers jump too quickly into specific
HR topics without first understanding the overall strategy
of their own company.” His professional group stands out
for its integrated approach to HR topics offering a
comprehensive understanding.
Steffen finds joy and continuous learning in moderating
HR strategy events, where he shares, “I learn incredibly
much myself.” The camaraderie with professional
colleagues, characterized by trust and simplicity adds a
layer of enjoyment to his work. Reflecting on over a
decade of announcing HR trends, Steffen notes that the
response is always overwhelming which supports
reinforcing the professional image of HR managers and
the crucial role of HR topics.
The Subsidiarity Shift
Steffen emphasizes the diversity of corporate cultures
and the unique challenges, stating, “Corporate cultures,
requirements due to the product, market conditions, and
local challenges vary from company to company.” In
personnel management, he underlines the
impracticality of a one-size-fits-all solution recognizing
the need for adaptability in shaping organizational
structures and fostering employee engagement.
Steffen addresses key challenges faced by ifm,
highlighting the continuous reassessment of two
critical topics, he states, “Complexity reduction in
decision-making without losing sight of important details”
and “The balance between centrality and decentralization.”
He observes a prevailing shift toward the subsidiarity
principle signifying a nuanced approach to decision-
making and organizational structure.
In navigating these challenges, Steffen champions an
‘open communication culture’ as a solution enabling the
mastery of challenges and the creation of an
environment conducive to creativity and collaboration.
His insights provide a pragmatic perspective on the
dynamic interplay between organizational structure,
decision-making and communication within the context
of modern personnel management.
The Human Side of Leadership
Navigating the complexities of company dynamics,
Steffen candidly acknowledges the challenge of
‘balancing’ the company centrally due to limitations in
involvement and expertise everywhere. Steffen
elaborates that his role isn't about dictating everything
alone and all-knowingly but rather fostering
collaboration and trust among the many specialists and
decentralized responsible parties worldwide. He
emphasizes, "My task is to listen and facilitate an
appropriate decision in a moderate manner." He opens up
about his own emotional nature, admitting, “I am an
emotional person myself and certainly not always right
everywhere.” However, he brings a pragmatic approach
to his role emphasizing the importance of promoting
professional interaction and corporate culture in
everyday situations.
In his capacity as the top HR person, Steffen champions
the role of being a ‘role model’ by exemplifying
professional conduct and cultivating emotional
intelligence. He emphasizes this through training
programs in the ifm Learning Factory and ifm Academy,
where technical expertise converges with emotional
intelligence to foster authentic relationships and
effective leadership. Steffen highlights the necessity of
active listening, empathy and adaptability in creating an
inclusive and motivating work environment.
When it comes to leadership development within ifm,
Steffen focuses on a comprehensive program where
leaders undergo training on these essential aspects.
Notably, a unique feature involves a ‘FireChat’ where
board members engage in an evening discussion
addressing critical questions.
Beyond the Stereotype
Steffen elucidates the multifaceted role, noting, “A
successful CHRO combines strategic thinking with
operational excellence and possesses strong interpersonal
skills.” He acknowledges the complexity of the position
emphasizing the need for an in-depth understanding of
the company along with its strategic direction, key
players and the dynamics of decision-making.
In navigating the occasionally conflict-laden scenario,
Steffen sees the CHRO's role as a representative of
people in the organization. “What a task!” he exclaims.
To embody these qualities, he relies on a clear vision,
integrity-based leadership and a passionate
commitment to employee development. This, he
acknowledges, requires a blend of diplomacy and
passion.

In my role, I can't ‘balance’ the company
centrally because I'm not involved everywhere
and don't have the expertise everywhere.”
Steffen highlights the importance of seeking feedback,
saying, “Every now and then, I ask my environment and
especially the owners if what I do and how I do it is okay for
them.” He advocates for continuous self-reflection,
recognizing the need to constantly question oneself.
Steffen challenges the common perception of HR as
solely a service provider asserting that at the CHRO
level, a more comprehensive view is essential which
often requires confident advocacy for HR topics.
Guiding Principles for Success
Steffen outlines a holistic approach to employee well-
being, stating, “Our approach takes into account individual
needs and promotes a healthy work-life balance.” He
underscores the importance of clear communication
about company expectations and opportunities aligning
with the goal of sustainable economic success.
In fostering a supportive work environment, Steffen
highlights ongoing dialogue, especially with social
partners like works councils and group works councils.
The company employs flexible working arrangements,
support programs and a comprehensive health
management offering to address evolving expectations
and contribute to the long-term success of employees.
Steffen emphasizes, “For over 30 years, we have had a
codified corporate philosophy to which we continue to
commit.”
The corporate philosophy, encapsulated in over 70
guiding principles comprehensively outlines the
company's stance on various aspects. Steffen notes, “In
over 70 guiding principles, we have described, among other
things, how we see all these aspects in context holistically.”
This enduring commitment to a holistic approach
reflects the company's dedication to the well-being and
success of its employees over the long term.
Data-Driven Agility
Highlighting the dynamic nature of HR strategies,
Steffen asserts, “HR strategies are not static.” He
emphasizes their alignment with the main value
creation process of the company, be it in products or
services acknowledging the rapid changes in today's
world driven by global events like wars, supply chain
disruptions and legal changes.
In response to this dynamic environment, Steffen
advocates for agility in HR strategies. He notes the
necessity for quick exchanges and an increasing
reliance on data analytics to stay informed and
responsive. “We promote a culture of innovation,” Steffen
states.
Describing his day-to-day, Steffen shares, “I personally
am in many meetings, trying to understand everything
correctly and propose the most suitable tools and changes.”
Despite the hustle, he acknowledges the desire for a
quieter environment. Yet, he maintains focus on the
overarching goal, emphasizing, “The main thing is not to
lose sight of the long-term goals.”
Strategic Wisdom
Offering valuable advice to aspiring HR professionals,
Steffen emphasizes the importance of developing a
profound understanding of the business and the
necessity to continuously learn and adapt. He advises
building networks, embracing new ideas and placing the
human component at the center of all HR initiatives and
the way of working together.
Steffen provides a realistic perspective for those
entering the HR field, cautioning against romanticized
notions. “I find that young HR employees and applicants
are a bit too romantic,” he observes. Addressing the
balance between strategic aspirations and operational
needs, Steffen underscores the significance of meeting
initial operational requirements for internal customers.
He advises aspiring HR professionals to have a talent
for complex subject areas and a culture of debate
emphasizing the importance of resilience and not being
overly sensitive.
In a competitive landscape, Steffen notes that being
‘friendly and composed’ while showcasing expertise
enhances one's chances in HR. He highlights the
increasing importance of digital skills acknowledging
the evolving demands of the modern HR professional.
Steffen's insights serve as a practical guide for those
embarking on a career in HR, emphasizing the dynamic
and multifaceted nature of the role.

Strategies for Effective
Modern Workplace
Strategies Effective
for
Modern Workplace
n today's competitive business landscape, effective
Italent management has become more critical than
ever before. As organizations strive to stay ahead in
the global market, they must leverage their human
capital to unlock their full potential. Talent
management encompasses various processes and
practices aimed at attracting, developing, retaining, and
maximizing the skills and abilities of employees.
Further, we will delve into strategies for effective talent
management in the modern workplace, focusing on
unlocking the full potential of individuals and the
organization as a whole.
Embrace a Culture of Continuous Learning and
Development
One of the cornerstones of effective talent
management is fostering a culture of continuous
learning and development. In the rapidly evolving
business landscape, employees must continually
acquire new skills and knowledge to stay relevant.
Organizations can achieve this by investing in training
programs, workshops, seminars, and online learning
platforms. By providing employees with opportunities
for growth and development, organizations not only
enhance their skills but also increase engagement,
retention, and overall performance.
Implement Performance Management Systems
Performance management systems play a crucial role in
talent management by setting clear expectations,
providing feedback, and evaluating employee
performance. These systems should be transparent,
objective, and aligned with the organization's goals and
values. Regular performance reviews and constructive
feedback sessions enable employees to understand
their strengths, areas for improvement, and career

development opportunities. By recognizing and
rewarding high performers, organizations can motivate
their employees and drive performance excellence.
Foster a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are essential components of
effective talent management in the modern workplace.
By embracing diversity in all its forms—such as gender,
race, age, ethnicity, and cultural background -
organizations can harness the power of different
perspectives, experiences, and ideas. Inclusive
workplaces not only attract top talent but also foster
creativity, innovation, and collaboration. By promoting
a culture where every individual feels valued,
respected, and empowered, organizations can unlock
the full potential of their diverse workforce.
Encourage Employee Engagement and Well-being
Employee engagement and well-being are integral to
talent management and organizational success.
Engaged employees are more committed, productive,
and likely to go the extra mile for their organization. To
foster engagement, organizations should prioritize
open communication, recognize achievements, and
involve employees in decision-making processes.
Additionally, promoting work-life balance, providing
wellness programs, and supporting mental health
initiatives are essential for maintaining employee well-
being and preventing burnout.
Embrace Technology and Data Analytics
In the digital age, technology and data analytics play a
pivotal role in talent management. HRIS (Human
Resource Information Systems), AI-powered
recruitment tools, and data analytics platforms can
streamline talent acquisition, identify skill gaps, and
predict future talent needs. By leveraging data-driven
insights, organizations can make informed decisions,
optimize their talent strategies, and enhance the overall
employee experience. Additionally, technology-enabled
learning platforms and virtual collaboration tools
facilitate remote work and continuous skill
development in today's distributed workforce.
Develop Future Leaders and Succession Planning
Effective talent management involves identifying and
developing future leaders within the organization.
Succession planning ensures continuity and stability by
grooming high-potential employees for leadership
roles. By providing leadership development programs,
mentoring opportunities, and stretch assignments,
organizations can nurture the next generation of
leaders and prepare them to navigate complex
challenges in the future. Investing in leadership
development not only strengthens the talent pipeline
but also fosters a culture of innovation and adaptability.
Foster a Growth Mindset and Resilience
In a rapidly changing business environment, cultivating
a growth mindset and resilience is essential for
individual and organizational success. Employees who
embrace challenges, learn from failures, and adapt to
change are better equipped to thrive in uncertain times.
Leaders should encourage a culture of experimentation,
risk-taking, and continuous improvement, where
employees feel empowered to innovate and explore
new opportunities. By fostering a growth mindset and
resilience, organizations can unlock the full potential of
their employees and drive long-term growth and
success.
In conclusion, effective talent management is
paramount for organizations seeking to thrive in the
modern workplace. By embracing strategies such as
continuous learning and development, performance
management, diversity and inclusion, employee
engagement and well-being, technology and data
analytics, leadership development, and fostering a
growth mindset, organizations can unlock the full
potential of their talent and drive sustainable growth
and innovation. By investing in their greatest
asset—their people—organizations can position
themselves for success in an ever-evolving business
landscape.

Adapting to Technological
Advancements and
Digital Transformation
n today's fast-paced and digitally-driven world,
Itechnological advancements are revolutionizing every
aspect of business operations. From automation and
artificial intelligence to data analytics and cloud computing,
organizations are embracing digital transformation to stay
competitive and agile in the marketplace. As technology
continues to reshape the business landscape, the role of
Human Resources (HR) is evolving to meet the changing
needs of the workforce and the organization as a whole.
We will discover how HR is adapting to technological
advancements and digital transformation, as well as the
implications for the future of work!
Leveraging Data Analytics for Informed Decision-Making
Data analytics has emerged as a powerful tool for HR
professionals to make informed decisions and drive
strategic initiatives. By analyzing workforce data, HR can
gain valuable insights into employee engagement,
performance, turnover, and talent acquisition. Predictive
analytics can help identify trends, anticipate future talent
needs, and optimize HR processes. By leveraging data-
driven insights, HR can align its strategies with the
organization's goals, improve efficiency, and enhance the
overall employee experience.
Embracing Automation and AI for Streamlined Processes
Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming
HR processes, from recruitment and onboarding to
performance management and payroll. AI-powered
recruitment tools can sift through resumes, screen
candidates, and even conduct initial interviews, saving time
and resources for HR professionals. Chatbots and virtual
assistants can provide instant support to employees,
answering questions and resolving issues efficiently. By
automating repetitive tasks and leveraging AI, HR can
streamline processes, reduce administrative burden, and
focus on strategic initiatives that drive business value.
20

21

Facilitating Remote Work and Virtual Collaboration
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift
towards remote work and virtual collaboration,
prompting HR to adapt to new ways of working. HR
professionals are responsible for implementing policies
and technologies that support remote work, ensuring
employees have the tools and resources they need to
stay productive and connected. Virtual collaboration
platforms enable teams to collaborate effectively,
communicate in real time, and share knowledge across
geographic locations. HR plays a crucial role in
promoting work-life balance, maintaining employee
well-being, and fostering a sense of belonging in a
remote work environment.
Enhancing Employee Experience through Digital
Solutions
In the digital age, employee experience has become a
top priority for organizations looking to attract and
retain top talent. HR is leveraging digital solutions to
enhance the employee experience at every touchpoint,
from recruitment and onboarding to career
development and offboarding. Mobile-friendly HR
applications allow employees to access information,
submit requests, and receive support anytime,
anywhere. Personalized learning platforms enable
employees to acquire new skills and knowledge tailored
to their individual needs and career aspirations. By
focusing on employee experience, HR can create a
positive workplace culture, boost engagement, and
drive performance.
Upskilling HR for the Future of Work
As technology continues to evolve, HR professionals
must upskill and adapt to new tools and technologies to
remain effective in their roles. This includes developing
proﬁciency in data analytics, mastering HRIS (Human
Resource Information Systems), and understanding the
implications of automation and AI on HR processes.
Continuous learning and professional development are
essential for HR professionals to stay abreast of
industry trends, best practices, and emerging
technologies. By investing in the upskilling of HR staff,
organizations can ensure they have the expertise and
capabilities needed to navigate the complexities of the
future workplace.
Navigating Ethical and Privacy Concerns
With the increased use of technology in HR processes
comes ethical and privacy concerns related to data
security, bias, and transparency. HR professionals must
navigate these challenges while ensuring compliance
with data protection regulations and ethical standards.
Transparency and communication are key to building
trust with employees and addressing concerns related
to data privacy and security. HR should establish clear
policies and guidelines for the ethical use of technology
and data in decision-making processes and provide
training to employees on data privacy and security best
practices.
Driving Organizational Change and Innovation
Digital transformation is not just about adopting new
technologies; it requires a cultural shift and a mindset
of continuous improvement and innovation. HR plays a
crucial role in driving organizational change by
promoting a culture of agility, adaptability, and
innovation. HR professionals can facilitate change
management initiatives, foster collaboration across
departments, and empower employees to embrace new
ways of working. By championing innovation and
embracing experimentation, HR can position the
organization for long-term success in a rapidly evolving
business landscape.
In Conclusion
Technological advancements and digital transformation
are reshaping the role of HR in organizations
worldwide. By leveraging data analytics, embracing
automation and AI, facilitating remote work and virtual
collaboration, enhancing employee experience through
digital solutions, upskilling HR for the future of work,
navigating ethical and privacy concerns, and driving
organizational change and innovation, HR can adapt to
the evolving needs of the workforce and drive business
value in the digital age. As organizations continue to
embrace digital transformation, HR will play a pivotal
role in shaping the future of work and ensuring the
success of the organization and its employees.
