Owning Your Life – An approach to people leadership: Caroline Trevoort-Visser, Chief People Officer, KPMG Netherlands

Caroline describes a change in work culture, centring on people first, and shares initiatives including ‘PTO’ (Predictability, Teaming, Open Communication) – a methodology for everyone to voice personal time or other requirements, enabling a team to deliver a client assignment and team members to have control of their lives.

Describing HR as the gatekeepers of an ethical culture, Caroline considers the future impact of AI and HR’s role in skills and culture development, shares her passions for equal opportunities and education, and discusses initiatives that create a more inclusive workplace and world. 

Topics in this episode: 

        The culture change from putting people first         PTO: Predictability, Teaming, Open Communication         AI, human conscience, and the role of HR         Equal opportunities and education         Integrating inclusion         KPIs for behaviour change         Mastering your time and your life

Buy In – a People Operating System by The Clearing

This episode is brought to you by our good friends at The Clearing. They’d like you to ask yourself some crucial questions:

        How aligned are your people to your organisation’s strategy?         How well do they understand their role in delivering it?         And perhaps most importantly, how confident are you that they genuinely buy in to where your organisation is headed?

If these questions strike a chord, you’re not alone – many organisations struggle to put people at the heart of a brand or business change. But The Clearing is here to help you rewrite that narrative through the power of ‘Buy-in’. Whatever you’re trying to achieve, they can help you inspire your people through change, helping them feel connected to where your business is going, and empowering them to shape and deliver that future. 

Buy-in is more than a concept – it’s the People Operating System for business and brand change. It’s about creating an environment where every one of your colleagues not only understands what you’re trying to achieve, but believes in it and acts on it. It helps your people become advocates. Clear about their roles.  And ensures they show up for your customers and each other when it matters.

The Clearing believes that Buy-in is essential to business performance – especially during times of change or growth.
