Accepting her first CHRO appointment in a new company and new business - 11 months in. How does the experience compare to expectations? What is different becoming the CHRO from being a senior leader in HR? - and what are the most urgent tasks to focus on. What a great point in time for a sit-down and conversation!

Welcome to another Employee Experience Labs podcast from the Munich Podcast studio. Employee Experience Labs Podcasts are about HR Tech, Employee Experience, Shared Service and other interesting topics around HR at the workplace.

We continue our most successful season so far "From the Workbook of an HR Leader" where I am talking to experienced colleagues in our field about their daily working routine and what and how they are going about the various challenges they have to face each day.

I am a tireless believer that we can all be better if we learn from each other, but there are not many opportunities to actually do that - yes, there are conferences, but how often can you attend one in a year? yes, there are peer-to-peer connections, but how many do you manage to keep running?

I am a firm believer that we can all do a better job if we learn from each other and so I am inviting seasoned HR experts from various fields and companies to tell us about their workday and how they go about the challenges of today.

I was waiting 11 months to record today's episode as my guest had just decided to change employers and step up the final step in the HR career ladder - accepting an offer for a CHRO position - when we started to talk about having her on my podcast, talking about her experience. But today is the day and I am excited to speak with Sofie Mørch CHRO at Kamstrup.  Sofie and I go way back and have managed to stay connected and have regular exchanges over the years. I always value connecting with her and am really excited to have our latest conversation recorded. Sofie is not an HR practitioner by education. She started out in business before turning to the "dark side" - just joking. And her deep experience across multiple companies, HR and non-HR career stations makes her a great fit for the role she is in now. And so, after almost a year in role, I was keen to understand more. And it is truly interesting to get her perspective. We talked about what is as expected, what is different and how is she approaching this career step - and of course we talked about experience, technology and AI. But let me pause here - listen for yourself: Meet Sofie Mørch, CHRO at Kamstrup...
