Andrea Panzer-Heemeier, Managing Partner at ARQIS, has been awarded one of 40 leading HR minds by the Haufe Group's “Personalmagazin”. Once again, she was recognized as a leader in the “Personalmagazine's” six-month, multi-stage selection process. Every two years, the renowned HR publication honors managers, advisers and scientists who are providing groundbreaking ideas for shaping a modern working environment.

Andrea Panzer-Heemeier commented on her award: "It is a great honor for me to be among the 40 leading HR minds for the second time. The award is more than just a title, it is proof that ARQIS is driving real transformation with unconventional approaches. Only those who courageously tread new paths can shape sustainable change in companies and the economy. The responsibility associated with this motivates me every day to find innovative solutions."

With the help of the list of the 40 leading HR minds, “Personalmagazin” aims to provide guidance on those who are leading in management, advisory and science. The jury's selection criteria in the advisory category are excellence in advisory practice with a focus on transformation projects, effectiveness beyond one's own consulting company and personality with integrity. A total of ten advisers were awarded in this category.

"Influencer rankings are currently popular, but these only show how well managers communicate on social media. We have compiled our 40 heads from the perspective of who has influence and is really driving the transformation of companies and the economy forward," explained Reiner Straub, publisher of “Personalmagazin”. "The 40 HR minds are the pioneers of the transformation of the world of work," he concluded.
