Surprising effect
The Rabobank study into future labour relati
ons entitled "De WERKelijkheid van morgen'
(Tomorrow's working reality) distinguishes
seven trends that will affect work and labour in
coming years: more digital, more cross-border,
more diverse, more uncertain, more accountable,
more vital and more entrepreneurial. The
trends are described in a book published by
Rabobank: 'The WERKelijkheid van morgen'. In
a large number of meetings with supervisors,
HR managers and Works Councils, the link was
made between the bank's Strategic Framework
and the trends, and the consequences for
human resources policy.
"The email was sent to
Rabobank Private Banking's
staff, requesting them to
forward it to suitable candidates.
After all, they're the ambassa
dors and know who we need.
Partly due to the surprising
effect of video and telephone,
more than 4,000 candidates did
the test on the Internet. In the
end, we succeeded in filling
over sixty vacancies, nearly all
with external candidates - a
good result."

The results from these meetings formed the
basis for the updated vision on Rabobank's
human resources policy: 'People make the
bank - even better' Aspects covered by this
vision include smarter working, being more
entrepreneurial and flexible, and 'different'
leadership, but also career development,
talent, being and remaining vigorous longer
and the use and necessity of dealing with
differences between people. Sharing this
vision with the local organisation forms the
springboard for discussions as to how to
address HRM. This approach confirms the
