HR the Real Deal is a non-profit community - created for HR by HR.

Logga alt 4 eps (1).png

Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2018 by Anne-Marie Andric, Katarina Berg, Jozef Khasho (today valued honorary member), and Nina Falkstrand, HR The Real Deal

was born from a shared belief: that HR deserves a space where practitioners can learn directly from one another, openly and without filters.

HR Over the Counter is where HR gets real hosted by Katarina Berg, CHRO at On (ex-CHRO Spotify), and Anne-Marie Andric, Senior HR Advisor (ex-CHRO). This is not your average HR talk- from a rooftop in Stockholm, they go live and unfiltered, sharing candid conversations about the wins, struggles, and realities of life as an HR practitioner. No scripts. No corporate polish. Just two seasoned HR leaders talking straight about what it really takes to do the job.
 

Raw, Real, and Relevant. That’s HR Over the Counter.

HR the Real Deal Summits

Since the start, HR the Real Deal has hosted seven Summits, exclusive, non-sponsored gatherings designed for HR practitioners with real-life experience.
The Summits is a HR safe haven. No sponsors. No consultants on stage. No sales pitches. All speakers attend for free. We only charge participants to cover the cost of venue, food, and
beverages. Any profit is donated to carefully chosen charity, such as e.g. Läxhjälpen, Min Stora Dag.

​

The Summits focus on immersive learning and genuine networking, no breakouts or gimmicks, just engaging talks on stage and connections during breaks. Presentations aren’t recorded, preserving the unique value of experiencing them live with peers.

Our Beliefs

What makes us unique? We are all real-life HR practitioners. We live the realities of both operational and strategic HR, and we believe in learning from one practitioner to another. That’s what makes HR - the Real Deal.
 

Through our Podcasts, Vodcasts, and Summits, we cut through the noise and bring you authentic, unfiltered insights about the real practice of HR. No fluff. No filters.

 

Just the Real Deal.
