Agile HR, business best friend

Interview with: Joanna Rosiek
CEO & Enterprise Agile Coach at ROSIEK Solutions

Agile is clearly associated with the IT industry. So how does it apply to HR? Contrary to appearances, HR departments, just like the IT industry, are based on the development of products with a specific purpose and group of recipients. Onboarding, recruitment, training, performance management – these are all products with a specific purpose and group of recipients.

Before employees become ambassadors of change, they must understand very well what the change is for. You talk about experimenting, about trying, but we know very well that our brain strives for a certain constancy, for a familiar pattern. We like these schemes, they are convenient for all of us. It's not like we're going to say - We have a new framework and everyone is going "hooray!". There is a natural resistance, and for us to talk about a certain mindset related to experimentation, people first have to ask themselves - why do I need this? and combine it with your own values. And even if I don't have space for this change now because I feel resistance, I have space to express what I'm afraid of and why it's so hard for me. And the next step - I have the right to choose, and this is unfortunately often a nail in the coffin in Polish culture, because allowing autonomy, allowing decision-making, especially at the lower levels, limps.
