I’m Gerhard, a communication psychologist and consultant from Hamburg, Germany, working with HR teams and leaders in Moldova, South Eastern Europe, and beyond. Here, we explore the psychological research behind everyday HR and workplace communication — without buzzwords and without pretending everything is easy. Each week, we unpack one topic that HR professionals often hear about but rarely understand from a scientific perspective.
