Things you wish you knew

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 on your new role and good luck! I'd advise that you spend the first few weeks getting to know the organisation and the managers - read all the HR policies and procedures and book in 'getting to know you' meetings with all the key stakeholders and find out what they think of HR. Find out what the organisation's culture and strategic aims are so you have affirm grounding before you look to change anything. ;-) Then look for some quick wins in terms of improvements.

    Kind regards
