#1 The labour (or)deal: what's in it for L&D?
It’s safe to say that the labour deal has been a hot topic since its publication in October 2022. For some companies, it meant the starting point for defining their vision on development and flexible working, while for others, it's an opportunity to revise and refine their existing policies as needed or maybe just put them on paper.
Human Development Consultant Marie Clémençon describes in this blog post how to embrace the labour deal's positive goals and see past legal constraints in order to promote employee development.
#2 Podcast: 'The future of Talent Acquisition'
In this podcast, Ineke Vandael (Business Consultant at TriHD) and Wim Vanhaele (Global Talent & Leadership Manager at Melexis) discuss the nuance between recruitment and talent acquisition, the pivotal strategic role of talent acquisition, and how to enhance your talent acquisition process for long-term viability.

#4 What skills do you need to achieve a successful ESG policy?
Companies must integrate sustainability into their regular operations and incorporate the required skills throughout the organization to achieve their sustainability goals. Each employee’s mindset and skills must be broadened. Sustainability is not a one-person job; indeed, the entire company must be actively involved, preferably with the support of a competent ESG Officer.
The key issue in the ESG reporting scenario is for organizations to build new skills among their employees. “Recruiting experienced profiles is often not an option simply because there are virtually none on the job market,” said Gaëlle De Baeck, Sustainability Lead at TriFinance.
#5 HR Business Partnering at Unilin Insulation
The Human Resources department at Unilin Insulation (part of the Unilin Group) plays a crucial role in maintaining a productive and pleasant workplace, contributing to the company’s success. The maternity leave of one of the HR Business Partners created a gap that needed filling. Jana Van de Velde, Project Consultant at TriHD, was brought on board to not only cover for this leave but also bring her diverse skill set to Unilin’s HR team. Because of a good fit with the team and the added value Jana brought to the table, her assignment was eventually extended from a few months to a year and a half. A retrospective.
