Inclusion and productivity: The challenge of age diversity in the corporate environment

In recent years, we have witnessed a significant transformation in the corporate landscape. For the first time in history, we have four generations living together in the workforce: Baby boomers, Generation X, Millennials and Generation Z. In this context, Human Resources managers play a key role in promoting inclusion and combating ageism, helping to build a work environment where everyone feels valued and able to contribute their best.

3 Pillars of competence for Thought Leaders in the corporate era

In a scenario in which leadership profiles emerge and stand out with very different characteristics, an essential figure has emerged to successfully navigate the turbulent waters of the business world: the Thought Leader. This new profile of professionals not only masters their field but goes beyond it, actively shaping the business landscape with their innovative and insightful ideas.

The new currency of executive leadership in 2024

For decades, the executive search landscape resembled a gilded cage, its doors guarded by stone sentinels labeled "experience."

Today's dynamic environment presents challenges that require a new currency of executive leadership in 2024.

“Toen we ons wereldwijde team in Amsterdam aan het opbouwen waren, vroegen we Hagoort & Partners (Kestria Nederland) om kandidaten met relevante track records te vinden voor diverse posities binnen ons bedrijf. Met succes wisten ze de mensen die we nodig hadden te zoeken, voor ons bedrijf te interesseren en te selecteren. Met hun professionele aanpak en werkwijze hebben we diverse kandidaten aangenomen op executive, directie en managerial posities.”
