Working in HR? If you could start again, would you?

You're looking at me quizzically... 'Odd question', you're thinking. 'Why ask that?'

No agenda... I was just thinking out loud... those of you who are HR (or L & D) veterans; with all your experience and expertise - if you knew then (at the start of your career journey)... what you know now, would you do it all again?

Maybe you are relatively new to the profession. What would you do differently?

  • Like many others,, I didn't set out to work in HR. I had a couple of jobs after leaving college before ending up in the Civil Service and working a number of roles. After about 15 years, I had a call to say that the then head of HR (a former boss) had a job for me. The rest is history as have spent almost 20 years in the field.

    Wish I had started working in HR a lot earlier though
