about the the organization (Talent & Expertise Group in Global IT) and the x-one program

Randstad moves toward a more global operating company. To support our vision and strategy, we introduced the Talent & Expertise Group (TEG) within Global IT. TEG is the group of about 100+ employees in Global IT, who work on various programs and projects. The functional day to day guidance of the TEG individual is managed with the program/project, TEG is the homebase. In TEG we take care about your personal growth, your HR, your Great Conversations and your training. TEG is organized by communities of practice. Each community is built upon a certain area of expertise. The global implementation manager role is part of the implementation & change management community of practice. Besides the HR function captured within the community of practice, it is also an inspiring place to be and to learn, engage, collaborate with peers in Randstad (local & global) within your specific area of expertise.

As part of the strategy, Randstad is speeding up its digital capabilities and is aiming to work more closely together with the 39 countries in collective leadership. The program that will bring many of these developments together is x-one. Although it started with the front office solution for Sweden and NL, it will become the main front-office platform (r-one) for all Randstad markets in the coming years. The r-one platform (built on Salesforce and Bullhorn technology) will be fully synchronized with omnichannel, data, marketing and IT services solutions. The challenge is to keep all roadmaps and priorities aligned while the core platform is further being developed. We continue to roll out digital solutions to many different markets in parallel and that needs to fit with the design of the new platform. Vice versa, the x-one programs need to take the standards and roadmaps of other digital solutions into account. In addition, the service delivery and talent teams are forming their plans that will impact digital priorities.
