Steve Cadigan on Bloomberg regarding Amazon’s data driven approach to HR

Thought leader and Global Topspeaker Steve Cadigan is a well sought speaker and interview partner. Recently he discussed Amazon and GE’s (General Electric) approach to HR issues with Bloomberg’s Scarlet Fu. Steve’s main message: Both GE and Amazon want the same thing in principle: the best talent, the best productivity. They are however pursuing very different paths to reach the same goal. Amazon is concentrating on a more data driven approach to human resources than GE.

Global Topspeaker Steve Cadigan knows that the reality of the business is far more transparent today than in former times. Employees nowadays have a lot more information on company cultures. The employee is no longer just an employee. Each individual is a small marketing and PR-department, and if they are not happy, they talk. And if they are happy, they also talk about the good things! According to Global Topspeaker Steve Cadigan, Amazon misjudged this fact. Successful companies therefore have to create great experiences and “invite” their employees to share those experiences freely and in their own words!

Steve Cadigan is convinced: Data cannot reflect people’s passion or emotions. Data therefore does not bring trust. According to Steve, the younger generations are choosing their employers based on questions like: Do I feel like my contribution matters? or Am I being listened to? The old HR-ways definitely do not work anymore. Transparency is the word of the day. The goal of today’s companies should therefore be: To communicate that they are great places to work and have everyone talk about it.

Speaker Steve Cadigan is one of the most renowned experts when it comes to people, talent and culture. As former VP Talent at LinkedIn and founder and CEO of Cadigan Talent Ventures LLC, a Silicon Valley-based talent strategies advisory firm, Steve helps organizations worldwide develop winning talent solutions.
