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. It's nice to hear from someone who has succeeded in making the shift, rather than from someone frustrated by not being able to do so. It would be interesting to hear how you came to make the move from accounts to HR.

    As for what I wish I'd known...

    Data is king.

    When it comes to financial decisions, no business leader would dream of making big plans without looking at the numbers. And yet, people make people decisions all the time on the basis of "gut", "hunches" and "instinct".
