From the Workbook of an HR Leader: Dave Sohigian

How does wine-making connect with HR Technology and how is the oldest bear company of the world involved in HR innovation? And why do we have to thank juggling for getting a state of the art HCM system? In this episode of our Employee Experience Labs podcast from the Munich Podcast studio I am talking with Dave Sohigian, CTO at large, Workday. Employee Experience Labs Podcasts are about HR Tech, Employee Experience, Shared Service and other interesting topics around HR at the workplace.We continue our most successful season so far "From the Workbook of an HR Leader" where I am talking to experienced colleagues in our field about their daily working routine 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 am inviting seasoned HR experts from various fields and companies to tell us about their workday and how they go about the challenges of today.Today is a special episode as I am talking not really to a peer but to someone that has influenced how we think about technology and how we experience technology today. I am extremely excited to had the chance to have Dave Sohigian CTO at large at Workday as guest in my podcast studio. Dave and I realized that we still remember the days of html-coding and how far someone could get with these skills 3 decades ago - and where they could lead up to. Dave was one of the first hires at Workday, joined in 2010 and over the course of the next decade has significantly influenced Workday as well as the overall HCM tech eco-system. Him and I we talked about that, the early days of Workday but also and with even more excitement about what comes next. If there wouldn't be the constraint of time, I think we would have never stopped but don't worry we have tried to stay on topic as well as shared one or the other anecdote.
