In this episode, we sit down with Janine Vos, CHRO of Rabobank, to explore why investing in people matters even more in the age of AI. Janine highlights a growing dilemma: AI is automating the entry-level work through which young employees traditionally learn their profession. She explains why Rabobank continues to invest in talent and believes large employers should remain a “learning house” for the next generation. We also discuss why recruitment should focus on building long-term relationships, how Rabobank embeds diversity of backgrounds into succession planning, and what organizations can do to prepare their people for the future.

In this episode, we sit down with Sander van 't Noordende, CEO of Randstad, the world's largest talent company, for a reality check on AI and the future of work. Sander draws a striking parallel with the dotcom era to illustrate how AI will transform the way we work. We dive into the Randstad Workmonitor, which shows that work-life balance is now almost on par with pay as a top priority for talent, and discuss why portfolio careers, the rise of the 50+ workforce, and an "assertive third" willing to quit are signals employers can't afford to ignore.His leadership advice? Have a clear point of view, build a team that complements you, and make sure you enjoy the ride.

Caroline Tervoort is Partner Business & HR Transformation at KPMG, and at the forefront of a complete rethink of how we manage the world of work. AI is changing what jobs look like, how teams collaborate, and what skills organizations need. KPMG's conviction? "It stays human work." But what does that actually mean when AI can attend multiple meetings at once and process data faster than any analyst?

In this episode of Make it Work, we explore what AI really means for hiring, why organizations need a fundamental redesign of how humans and AI work together, how to build hybrid human-AI teams, and what that means for leadership. Caroline also speaks openly about her journey as a woman in consulting, why it's essential to stay true to yourself, and why grabbing every opportunity with a Pippi Longstocking's mindset has been key to her success.
