In this episode, I have the great privilege of having a conversation with Kristin Omreng, who is the global HR director of PGS.
Kristin shares three tools and practices she uses to balance complex and demanding life between her work and being a mother of two young children. She speaks about taking time, showing self compassion and using mindfulness to reconnect with herself and to find balance, strength and happiness.
We also talked about the the importance of building a resilient organisation by focusing on psychological safety, diversity, and inclusion. We also touch on other important pillars of. resilience, such as creating a feedback culture and a constant focus on learning and development.
In this episode, Kristin and I explore the questions and issues around the following:
- How do you bring this into your job as Head of Global HR and as an advisor to leaders at all levels of PGS?
- How do you view the importance of personal and organizational resilience going forwards in the context of the last years and what may lie ahead?
- How does an organisation help its employees and leaders build resilience?
- How do you and your team foster psychological safety?
- How essential is diversity and inclusion to. building a resilient organisation?
