23 years in the same company, a seasoned expert in HR, Service Delivery, HR Technology, and of course Employee Experience - bringing his own lens with learnings and applied ideas. What a great 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 long to record today's episode as my guest is very busy and time-zone and business travels did not align for some time. But today I am talking to a good colleague of mine, the SVP HR and Global Business Services at P&G - Onur Karakus. Onur has started his career 23 years ago at P&G in Istanbul and has since then experienced probably any role the HR function has to offer -  and that across continents. Starting in Europe, moving to Asia, and landing finally in the US. Throughout each role and each station, Onur has left a mark and also learned a lot. He is like me a firm believer of a growth mindset - and as excited about innovation in our space as well. But also focused on the business case, deeply rooted in the understanding that our function is a supporting function and everything we do must be in service of the wider employee and company success. We have talked about his different stations, HR structure, and of course AI and innovation. But let me pause here - listen for yourself: Meet Onur Karakus, SVP HR and Global Business Services...
