These beloved products include condiments and sauces, cheese and dairy, meals, meats, refreshment beverages, coffee, infant and nutrition products, and numerous other grocery products in a portfolio of more than 200 legacy and emerging brands. Quote: “Keeping the TA organization closer to not just offer accepted and then next role and you kind of stay over here in your lane, was to try and bring the organization a bit closer to the onboarding, and it gives us more skin in the game. And especially when it comes to things like employer branding and integrity of that, in terms of what we are selling to candidates, it has to be truly authentic. So to have ownership in that swim lane, you can't hide from that. And what I mean by that is I would never want recruiters in any of my teams to sell something that wasn't accurate. And that gives us more ownership and credibility, I feel.” - Mark Smith from The Kraft Heinz Company – TimeStamps **(04:11) - The start of Mark's journey **(12:02) - How Mark measures success **(16:46) - Biggest challenges **(24:18) - Lessons on mindset **(28:36) - Recipes for success **(32:22) - Hopes for the future

Key Takeaways:
Quote: “One of the big focus areas is what we’re calling “lateral agility”. Because what we found is we've certainly moved the needle in terms of the improvement of leadership and management in terms of what would be called vertical leadership in terms of the leadership of their teams and really focusing on elements such as the quality of feedback and career development and how they're supporting their teams. And we've seen major improvement in that regard. But the area where we see the opportunity is that the most successful leaders are spending just as much time collaborating in a highly effective manner with their cross-functional peers.” - Kevin Stap Sponsor The Talent Blueprint is brought to you by Beamery.

| 18 Apr 2023 | How Can You Rethink L&D To Prevent Future Talent Gaps? With Tami Wolownik from Siemens Mobility | 00:31:15 | |
This episode features an interview with Tami Wolownik, Head of People & Organization at Siemens Mobility, and your host, Sultan Saidov, Co-Founder and President at Beamery. Tami has over 15 years of experience with the company, having started as an HR principal in 2004. Since then, she has assumed progressive responsibility, working with many different Siemens entities before landing with Siemens Mobility in 2017. Before joining Siemens, Tami worked as a Director of Human Resources and Customer Service in the printing industry. Tami discusses Siemens Mobilitiy’s focus on mental health, becoming attractive to talent by making a sustainable global impact, and how upskilling internally can prevent future talent gaps. About Siemens Mobility: Siemens Mobility has been a leader in seamless, sustainable, reliable, and secure transport solutions for more than 160 years. “As a leader in transport solutions, we shape connected mobility. The mobility environment is being shaped by three megatrends: climate change, population growth, and digitalization. These trends demand seamless, sustainable, reliable, and secure mobility solutions to ensure a high quality of life for 9.6 billion people worldwide by 2050. And those people will aspire for seamless transportation from the first to the last mile. Digitalization is helping us to master these trends and continuously transform the way we travel. Therefore, we are constantly innovating our portfolio in our core areas: rolling stock, rail automation and electrification, intelligent traffic systems, related services, and turnkey projects – to shape the future of mobility.” Key Takeaways:
Quote: “We truly do believe that resilience and relevance for the future is critical, because I honestly believe that the roles we have now are not the roles we're going to have in the future. And as more automation comes into our manufacturing processes, the employees who are administering or facilitating or making that process happen are going to have to have more skills to do that as well. So again, let's build the expectation now that you're required to learn and that it's going to be good and it's going to be beneficial, and hopefully that'll catch, but we're on that journey like others as well.” - Tami Wolownik Sponsor The Talent Blueprint is brought to you by Beamery.
