✨     What is this? ✨ 

Here on this website you will find a hybrid between a People Operations professionals' portfolio and a stage to share global trends and local practices. You can use this resource in many ways - to either get inspired from my writings and implement some learning in your own organization or to evaluate if I am a suitable People Operations professional who you would want to include in your projects as a collaborator or consultant.

✨ For who is this? ✨ 

Welcoming here everyone who shares a modernized mindset and sees employees as internal customers who not only need to be led but also inspired and developed. I am creating content not only for People Operations professionals but also for startup founders, people leaders and individuals who expect to have a healthy work experience (also known as work-life balance). And as a bonus, I write about Estonian immigration and relocation topics for both employers and international talent.

✨ What will you find? ✨ 

Here you will find yourself on a nice discovery of all topics related to people operations.  You will especially enjoy this blog if you agree that as people are the ones to carry out the company’s core operations, therefore it is the companies and leader’s responsibility to ensure that they have the right people equipped with the needed knowledge smartly doing their thing.

Talking about #leadership, #immigration, #peopleoperations, #employeeexperience, and #learninganddevelopment. 

✨ Who am I and what do I believe in? ✨ 

I classify myself as People Operations Strategist and carry with me 10 years of HR/People Operations experience working with startups and established organisations. I am experienced in creating and building systems where there are none. At the end of the day, I will feel good if I see that I have made progress in designing effectiveness and rioting against static solutions. Deeply interested in making sure work and organizations do not take more from their employees than they are giving in return. No employee should get harmed while their organization is making a revolution. Instead of believing in and fighting for work-life balance, we should strive to achieve a healthy work experience.

✨ This is me in a nutshell ✨ 

Studied Political Science, specialized in political communication. Studied Human Resources Management. Worked 5,5 years in Estonian public sector in People Operations. Worked 2,5 years in a startup supporting companies to hire beyond borders and diversify their teams by doing Global Talent Mobility (relocation and immigration for international talent). Deep-dived into Talent Management area in a global tech company.

✨ Me and People Operations in 3 long sentences? ✨ 

I get captivated by all things related to the global workforce, culturally rich teams, leading transformation, organisation needing structure and guidance, nomadic lifestyle, leadership hacks, and well-designed company culture. I am not a fan of reactive workstyle, and I get excited being teamed up with people who possess a business mindset that is tactical, strategic, and long-term. Can’t get enough of educating people that reactive does not equal adaptive. 

✨ Why am I doing this? ✨ 

I enjoy learning and challenging myself. I deeply believe in “train skills, hire attitude” and I focus a lot on bettering myself to grow also in my professional life. This blog is my way to escape into the deep People Operations world, see a bigger organization-wide view, and play with different scenarios, write something and then learn that I was wrong and argue against my previous thoughts and statements. It is about self-growth! And it is my privilege to share my learnings with you, as I love multiplying knowledge by sharing it. 

✨ What am I professionally most proud of? ✨ 

Having worked in the software industry supporting Product and Engineering teams with product creation and development. From spreadsheets to an Immigration Platform.
