Have you ever wondered what the mindset or approach is needed to become a HR leader? Well then what an episode we have this week, where I’m joined by Michele Haugh.
Having done a business degree at university, Michele decided that a HR career path was for her but upon entering the job market found she had no practical experience. What Michele then did was strategically map out a route via recruitment, then training, that ultimately led to her fulfilling her career goals.
Michele has tackled numerous relocations, due to her husband’s job, and taking an extended career break whilst living in Thailand and raising their children. However, she has applied a key fundamental in her HR approach that has enabled her to reach the top of her game. It’s the understanding that to be truly effective, you need to adopt a complete business partnering methodology. This means that you get to understand the business and it’s issues first then look at the HR initiatives and strategies you can implement to add the maximum value. A simple concept, yet not one applied by everyone.
Michele now runs a HR Consultancy, along with her business partner, where they provide HR support and Engagement initiatives to early or growth stage businesses.
Listening to Michele talk, it’s easy to understand how she has created such a successful HR career and there are some great takeaways and advice she delivers during our talk.
I hope you enjoy listening.
