Adoption rates of 90%, localized implementations with global standardized processes and technology - and a desire from the HR leadership to do more. If these are your messages at the end of an HR Transformation you can call it a win for sure.

However, of course this is difficult to achieve and doesn't come by itself but only through rigorous CI on the way to a transformed HR organization and strong leadership. Wouldn't we all like to be there and have achieved that? Well, we can if we learn the best practices from our peers and adapt them for our journey.

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 have started a new season that we call "from the workbook of an HR Leader" where  I am talking to experienced colleagues in our field about their daily working day 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 have invited seasoned HR experts from various fields and companies to tell us about their workday and how they go about the challenges of today.

Today, in the first episode of the season I am talking to Johnny Vega - head of HR Transformation at Reckitt. Johnny and I go way back and have also managed one transformation jointly some ten years back. In our conversation I wanted to understand from Johnny how they managed to bring the transformation at Reckitt to such a big success, but also which challenges he faced and how he solved them.
