In episode 244, we meet Lina Buurstra, a SAR Mission Coordinator at the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre. She answers your call when you are in distress and knows how to make things right again. Lina has a background as a Master Mariner before becoming a SAR Mission Coordinator.Continue Reading …
A new way of looking at the people working in our organisations is to take a more human approach to work. Kriss Petersson is the Head of Talent and Culture at Aeler Technologies, not the Head of HR.
Listen to Kriss explain how a more people—and culture-oriented mindset can change an entire industry.
She strives for diversity of thought and openness when scouting for new employees, but we must become more visible to attract young talent. We also need to listen to what the incoming generation seeks in an employer. Young people are looking for work flexibility, recognition, and professional development. Can we offer them that?
Thank you for listening. Feedback is welcome to hello@shippingpodcast.com
