Helping HR Leaders in the food industry to create better boundaries so they can feel less frazzled and have more control over their careers | coach | HR | career coach
Do you know that eyebrow raise that people do when you say you work in HR, or the little joke about Human Remains? I am always baffled that a profession focused on getting the best out of people and for people prompts a similar reaction to saying you are a car salesman! When you start a new role or meet a new team it can be like you have a job to do prove yourself and un-do any bad experiences that they have had of HR. Exhausting! Last week I ran a webinar on “How to be more visible when you work in HR” and we talked about HR’s reputation and ways to positively impact it. So what can you do? Here are some tips that are worth some thought: 1. Think about how HR contributes to business goals and link it to what you are doing 2. Take some time to prepare for meetings and share achievements for you and your team – you can’t get any credit if no-one knows 3. Work on your relationships – especially your manager, they can be one of the big challenges in HR roles, sometimes because they don’t understand what you do. Think about what they need and in what format so they can see the benefits of what you do and share them with others. 4. Set some boundaries and stick to them – being all things to all people can dilute your efforts. If you would like a re-play of the webinar send me a DM.
