Do to excessive workload in SAS Data I was asked by this world class data analytics company to support them for a period of 3 months with focus on HR. I find it fun and challenging to "parashute" into an organization and in no time get an overview of the internal landscape and dynamics as well as business models and stakeholders in order to interact with business leaders and help move the needle operationally and consultatively.

BECOMING LARGE AND PROFESSIONAL – BUT STAYING ENTREPRENEURIAL Saxo Bank is an EU licensed bank. The company-DNA mostly resembles that of an IT/Sales company.

Yearly turnover: DKK millions 3.000.RESPONSIBILITY - OPERATIONAL HR LEADERSHIP AND HR PARTNERINGOverall responsible for a traditional HR-function (including payroll and basic HR services). Point of departure was low visibility in top management, always a few steps behind, focusing on hiring-and-firing, day-to-day execution and inadequate processes and systems.

POST MERGER ISSUES | STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN BUSINESS AND PROFIT Doms employ 130 people in a mix of sales people, IT people and service technicians. Having been acquired by a larger company (American Fortune 500 Industrial Conglomerate, Danaher Corporation), Doms was challenged on post-merger issues (incl. culture, organization and leadership) as well as basic business operational issues. Doms is a leading supplier of service and total solutions within the downstream segment in the oil business. PART TIME HEAD OF HRI was asked to take the responsibility as HR manager for Doms in addition to my job at Radiometer (see below). Historically HR at Doms was equal payroll. My focus was therefor to insource/outsources payroll execution into Radiometer’s well-oiled “payroll machine”, using existing systems and processes. I reporting into a matrix organization with 1 solid and 4 dotted linesAfter having moved payroll, cleaned house (a few skeletons in the closet) and supplied basic HR services, I supported the leadership team in ways they were not used to, which created an urge for even more support. Examples are:• Building and participating in the leadership team• Resolving stress and conflicts by direct intervention and manager support and coaching• Handling personnel issues, layoffs, reorganization organizational and personal development• Executing locally on corporate HR initiatives, incl. talent, performance and organizational reviews• Hands-on in regards to all HR operational issues (inquiries, documents, etc.).

LEAN LEADERSHIP | HR BEST PRACTICE | R&D ENVIRONMENT | THOROUGHNESS Radiometer employ 2000 people globally (half in Denmark and half internationally), spanning all activities including R&D, Production and Sales. Radiometer is a leader within its field in medical technologies, owned by Danaher Corporations and a world class LEAN leader.RESPONSIBILITYReporting to the VP Global HR I was partially a HR generalist and partially a functional leader with significant hands-on responsibility, incl. a team of 4 (recruiters, communication specialist and an administrator). I was head of internal communication and responsible for the creation of a new Intranet (at zero cost). The outcome was improved cross functional collaboration, organizational efficiency and supported a cultural turn, becoming more international and “Danaher-like”.Within the recruitment area I improved KPI’s such as quality of hire, time to fill and internal fill rate, by implementing new technologies, changing processes, supplying training and supporting managers (recruitment from A-Z) operationally throughout the entire organization -> higher employee productivity and easier succession-planning.As Business partner I supported the yearly HR processes (occasionally also supporting other Danaher companies in Denmark) regarding Talent Management / Leadership Development, Organizational Review and Development as well as many ongoing operational issues including top grading (the Danaher word for layoffs), personnel and retention issues, being in close contact with job stewards and union reps.For a shorter period I was also responsible for Compensation and Benefits. Preparing annual salary negotiations with unions and finalizing flexible benefit campaigns etc. I also participated in Corporate Danaher HR projects, contributed towards development and implementation of global HR tools and processes and leading the European part of the Danaher MBA program, sourcing talents on site at LBS, INSEAD and IMD.

The company and business are described above. The context and challenges was however very different at this early stage. When I entered the company, we were in the process of building Saxo Bank from the ground-up. Sitting on beer-boxes had just been replaced with real furniture. Following the growth of the company I subsequently had different roles, which are described briefly below.My responsibility grew, now with 4 direct reports and additional responsibility for all traditional and transactional HR services, including contracts, HR-legal, salary negotiation etc. The growth and support now also extended across borders as Saxo Bank’s international footprint was starting to develop. I was also responsible for developing a cascading and KPI-based bonus model in the entire organization – a very hot topic and important to support and shape the performance oriented culture.

The massive growth continued, adding 400 new TFE’s the following year. 3 employees now reported to me. To support this growth I implemented new systems (HRIS), tools, processes, clear metrics, KPI's and stable and documented processes. My responsibility also grew to include the quarterly performance management process, which I handled operationally and improved by “setting electricity” to a previous offline and manual process. Driving this quarterly people processes meant heavy involvement and coaching with managers about performance-, talent- and leadership development. Having created a more efficient setup meant that managers could spend less time every quarter on the “HR system things”, and hence more time using it in an integrated way with the daily management, goal-setting and feedback.

Initially I was hired as Recruitment Manager, being the only person dealing with recruitment. HR at Saxo Bank was only 3 people in 2005. As individual contributor and in close cooperation with hiring managers I handled the recruitment of all types of positions (IT, Back-office, Sales, Finance, Banking, etc.). I was responsible for the process from A-Z (including employee branding, writing job ads, sourcing strategy, posting, screening, interviewing, testing, assessment, selection, candidate care and administration). I was personally involved in 220 recruitments within the first 12 months. In my dialogue with business leaders and managers I also provided sparring and coaching in regards to people, talent and performance management issues.
