AE Peer Group:
Remote Work & HR Digitalization

Strategies and technologies for the future of work and the digitalization of HR processes.

Deutsch

The working world has undergone a lasting transformation: remote work is no longer the exception but increasingly the norm. Companies face the challenge of effectively implementing digital tools to streamline processes and offer employees flexibility. At the same time, successfully managing remote teams requires new approaches to leadership, communication, and employee engagement. Consistent HR digitalization enables process scalability, improved data analysis, and an enhanced employee experience.

This AE Peer Group is aimed at executives and experts who wish to leverage the opportunities offered by remote work and digital HR solutions, particularly:

• CHRO
  
• HR Manager
  
• IT Manager for HR platforms
• Managers leading remote teams
  

In this AE Peer Group, we address practical and future-oriented issues such as:

• Designing Effective Remote Work Models: Flexible Structures and Legal Aspects
  
• HR Digitalization: Selection and Implementation of Modern HR Tools for Recruiting, Onboarding, and Employee Retention
  
• Leadership and Communication: New Approaches for Remote Teams and Hybrid Models
  
• Employee engagement: feedback platforms, surveys, and virtual team events
  
• Data-driven decisions: Analysis of HR metrics for process optimization
  
• Cybersecurity and Data Protection: Secure Handling of Sensitive Employee Data
  

The AE Peer Group does not follow the format of a traditional lecture or conference.

The focus is on:

• confidential exchange of experiences
• discussion of real-world challenges
• access to new perspectives and potential solutions
• building robust contacts with key decision-makers
• long-term development of a network based on trust

Participants benefit from insights into the strategies, experiences, and issues of other companies.

The AE Peer Group is designed as a long-term working group.

• Group size: 8 to 12 companies per group.
  This size facilitates in-depth discussions, personal relationships, and an exchange based on trust.
  
• Host Principle: The group follows a decentralized hosting model.
• Meetings are held at alternating locations:
  › at participating companies
  › at selected partner companies
  › at neutral, external venues
  The focus is not on a fixed event location, but rather on the exchange between participants within the specific corporate context.
  
• Formats:
  › In-person meetings
  › Online working sessions
  › Moderated roundtables
  › Exchange of experiences based on real-world cases
  › Optional Community Events as part of AE Life
  Face-to-face interaction forms the foundation for trust and lasting relationships. Digital formats complement collaboration between meetings.
  
• Organization:
  › Duration: 12 months
  › Option to extend
  › Collaborative planning of topics and schedule with participants
  › Continuous development of content
  
• Perspective:
  
  The AE Cybersecurity Peer Group is part of a long-term network dedicated to the exchange of ideas regarding cybersecurity, digital resilience, and information security. Each AE peer group deliberately comprises only a limited number of selected companies to foster a relationship of trust and facilitate in-depth, peer-level dialogue. Depending on demand, additional peer groups may be formed with distinct compositions and varying company profiles, areas of responsibility, or thematic focuses.

Participation requires membership in the AE Peers network.

Admission is granted exclusively:

• by invitation
• following a personal introduction
• upon agreement within the group

The number of participating companies per group is deliberately limited.

Information regarding terms and conditions will be provided during a personal discussion.
