Talking HR Trends with Natal and Tom
Multifunctional HR … End of silos?

The Personal User Guide
I like the Personal User Guide. With a BIG-5 personality test your Personal User Guide is created, and you can use it to guide others on how to best deal with you. And you with them.
I quote the designers of the Personal User Guide: “Making and sharing your user guide will help you to:
- Be real with each other.
- Make blindingly clear expectations your common reference point
- Draw a social contract on how you can relate
- Show how you want to build trust in communicating
- Show, not sell, transparency
- Reduce wasting time and move quickly to richer and more efficient discussions.
- Share your weaknesses by putting them on the table
- Turn working with user guides into an exercise in self-awareness.
- Become more predictable and authentic to your team members.
- Show your respect towards your team members for what they do but most of all for who they are
