Our people at the center is a refrain that those who follow issues related to human resource management hear very frequently, especially today. We are in a phase of transition in which the adrenaline of remote work of the first lockdown is running out and people must at least be given the framework for the work of the future. To do this, the comparison between companies and workers or their representatives is central to being able to ground paths that go in the right direction to improve productivity. In the direction that people expect, as organizations say they are at the center. This, however, also means restoring centrality to the function of human resources which need a new cultural turnaround to play a leading role. The process of evolution in the world of work is leading to a new normal, made up of agility, operational efficiency and digitalization and the first to have to train are those who work in HR functions, ranks of many thousands of people who work alongside the staff chiefs. .
The centrality of the HR function
We talked about it with Alessandro Rimassa who after being one of the co-founders of Talent Garden Innovation School, the business school specializing in digital and innovation issues, is now grappling with the launch of Radical hr club, the training and development platform and transformation for HR experts. «The main frustration of those who work in HR today is not being incisive in changing the company – says the entrepreneur, training and future of work expert on whom he has written several books -. But building people-centered companies is essential to attract new generations, retain the best talents, build labor policies capable of promoting productivity and growth. This is why the HR function is central: how can people-centered businesses be built if those who deal with people are not put at the center of the transformation? “. This is how the idea of creating this continuous training platform was born to help HR develop new skills and a new approach to the function and the company, and thus to contribute to building a sustainable and cutting-edge future of work. Italian and international. In fact, the experts who contribute to the project come from all countries, aimed at all companies, small, medium and large, which within the platform find an annual training course, courses, webinars, strategies, guides and tools to be put immediately practically. Attendance will then give the opportunity to obtain certification as a Future of Work Expert, with the aim of creating a standard of excellence for those who work in the HR field.

The radical change in management
The club’s English name is meant to underline its international character, with experts coming from many, different countries. However, we preferred the term disruptive, which in its literal translation has a negative, radical meaning. “This underlines the need for a radical, and not simply incremental, change in the way companies are built and managed, to keep up with the times and promote growth,” Rimassa explains. The topics that will be treated within the club are different, from recruiting to training, from performance management to hr analytics and digital hr, up to the most innovative topics such as Okr, Agile HR and Age management. In particular, they are organized into three areas: people with fundamental contents from the world of human resources, business with useful contents for dialoguing and guiding business and innovation with contents to implement change and transformation.
The certification of the expert of the future of work
In addition to following the courses, every six months students will be able to take the process of recognizing the skills they have developed: by passing a series of tests they will be able to obtain the Future of Work Expert certification, which can be renewed from year to year. The experts who hold the courses are already more than 40. Some Italians have been selected who are obtaining important results in the field of human resources abroad, imagining a sort of hr brain return as teachers, together with international experts, from the United States to Holland, from Spain to Sweden and Denmark. The future, in Rimassa’s words, looks like a game of Chinese boxes: “I have worked with dozens of Italian and international companies in redesigning corporate culture, learning and the centrality of people, today it is necessary and urgent to carry out a radical transformation of our companies: to growing at the business level needs to increase productivity, to be more productive you need to improve engagement and empowerment of people, to do all this hr must be the central pivot of the change process “.
