Vladislav "Laďa" Vachata met Jiří Báča in early 2000, when the two of them both worked on the launch of the MAXIM credit card at Bank Austria Creditanstalt. Twenty years later they were building LutherOne together. Today he is a co-owner and COO of the company, a salesman to the core, a qualified PE and English teacher, a father of four, and a lifelong sportsman who still plays to win.
Meet Lukáš Foglar, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at LutherOne. In this interview, he shares what drew him to the company, what people often misunderstand about product work, and what keeps him energized.
Gallup research: managers explain 70% of the variance in team engagement — yet their own engagement is falling, their teams keep growing, and almost none of them get real feedback on how they're doing. Here's the data, and what it's costing you.
New research on 3 million employees shows RTO mandates spark a 14% spike in departures. It's your most skilled, most senior people who go first. Here's the data, and what it costs.
Everyone has a dashboard. Almost nobody uses it to actually decide anything. Only 18% of CHROs say their organization consistently uses data to make people decisions — the rest are running on instinct, dressed up as strategy.
The generation everyone calls entitled is quietly turning down the corner office. Only 6% of Gen Z say a leadership role is their main career goal. What they're chasing instead is cheaper than a raise — and most companies are still getting it wrong.
Engagement just hit a five-year low of 20%, half the workforce is looking elsewhere, and 42% of those departures are preventable. For the CEO of a large company this isn't a soft HR topic — it's a productivity bill measured in points of margin. And the real problem isn't the number. It's that most leadership teams won't see it until it's too late.
LutherOne hit the road to speak with HR leaders in person and on the ground at four different events. Discover what we learned about the biggest challenges HR is facing, as well as trends from the people living them.
We spoke to 50 HR leaders at a major industry event and asked one simple question: what are your three biggest challenges right now? What came back was six themes surfacing across roles, industries, and company sizes, pointing to a function that doesn't have what it needs to fix them.
