Meet Our Manager -Tina

We’d like to introduce our Manager – Tina.

Tina joined us 3 years ago as People&Culture Manager and has been closely involved in shaping people strategies, supporting team growth, and strengthening our company culture. Her expertise includes strategic planning, recruitment, employer branding, employee growth, and using technology to enhance HR processes. Tina excels at aligning people strategies with business goals and leading change with empathy and clarity.

We interviewed her, asking 7 questions to gain insights into Tina’s leadership style and experience working with her team at Addepto.

1. What are the first three things that come to your mind when you think about working at Addepto?

Optimization – because I feel we’re constantly working on improving our processes, enhancing our skills, and refining the way we work.

Ambitious people – colleagues who care not only about their own development and certifications but also about delivering projects they can be proud of.

A great team – friendly, supportive, warm, and flexible, always ready to help one another.

2. What do you value most about the team you work with?

I’m really lucky to work in HR, where people have strong soft skills and high emotional intelligence. My team is communicative, supportive, and we collaborate on a truly partnership-based level. It’s often fun and lighthearted, but everyone is also highly engaged. Even though we work remotely, I feel like we know each other really well.

3. What skills do you think are essential to thrive in your team?

Flexibility and adaptability – our tasks aren’t strictly assigned to specific people, so we often share responsibilities depending on current needs. Being open to learning and doing different things is essential. Empathy is also very important, as we collaborate with many stakeholders: managers, candidates, and employees, and need to balance different perspectives with fairness and good judgment.

4. What advice would you give to someone considering joining your team?

I’d definitely recommend developing AI-related skills and staying up to date with technology – understanding and embracing AI rather than being afraid of it. Our environment changes quickly, so adaptability and creativity are key. I’d also say: don’t worry if you’ve specialized in just one area of HR. In our team, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn new things and get involved in different aspects of the field.

5. How do you maintain good communication and foster development within the team?

We have regular meetings and one-on-ones, and we use project management tools to stay organized and approach our work with a project management mindset. From time to time, we also meet in person to strengthen our relationships and collaborate face to face. And we’re not afraid of off-topic chats because we believe that talking about personal things now and then helps us build genuine connections.

6. What do you enjoy most about working as a manager?

The feeling that I can help others grow. It’s not always easy, especially when there’s a lot going on, but even when feedback is challenging, seeing someone develop as a result is truly rewarding. I also appreciate having influence and decision-making power – being able to identify areas for improvement, take responsibility, and make a positive impact on the organization gives me a real sense of purpose and motivation.

If you had your own mug with a quote or motto, what would it say?

There’s no HeRo without HR 😉
