Despite a professional tech background I spent over a decade on " the dark side" impersonating "Catbert" (yea! Dilbert fans!) in Australia as national HR director for a global tech. and so I read with interest the acronym m/w/d attached to the "HR" positions.
I'd never seen that before. I discovered it's a German acronym
I'm glad I'm retired!!!
At least in those days LHD v RHD was a simple concept.
I've probably said too much already. But I wish them well.
EDIT: I was not trying to be political: lest my meanderings above are taken the wrong way, I was referring to the mind boggling policy complexities in ensuring everybody is treated fairly on their merits, as well as conforming with international/intra-national multi-jurisdictional compliance issues. My former (younger) colleagues tell me that trying to "map" all this complexity into (SAP) HR information systems is proving to be a "gi-normous task" ... hence my 'sympathy' for whomever assumes the head honcho HR role...
