Things you wish you knew

Lee

Hi All, I qualify for my CIPD Level 3 in June, I have worked as an account manager for 15 years but have always had a keen interest in HR so have finally taken the jump and landed my first HR role which I start in a few weeks!

I'm thrilled to be starting this new chapter in my career, I've thoroughly been enjoying my studies and taking as much in as possible however I would like to be as prepared as possible going into my new role!

for all those working in a HR Advisor role, could you please share any words of advice you wish you had been given, or would go back and tell yourself when first starting out?

Thanks for you time!

Lee.

  • Congratulations Lee and good luck with your new role!

    To paraphrase what Kevin rightly says - "context is all", or "context is king"!


    Try to understand how the different parts of the organisation work together/interact and to develop a "helicopter" view of the company. Ideally, try to spend some time with the head of each department to develop this understanding.

    Secondly, try to understand how your business actually makes money - volume? margin? operational excellence? cutting edge R&D? and how HR can support these different levers
