Hi all,
Just to introduce myself to this community.
Due to various circumstances I have not been able to practice the HR I studied back in 2010.
I am back now and re-joined CIPD and a lot seems to have changed. Glad to see there is a learning hub and will make the most of it.
Happy to say I have a job now as a HR Associate Partner, however when searching for jobs I now see so much HR job titles.
Is there a particular HR growth structure one can aim for?
And any advice on building my career in HR will be great and is more than welcome.
Looking forward to connecting with as many as I can.
Thank you!
Hello and welcome! I've noticed a shift away from HR / Human Resources in job titles to using terms like 'people and organisation', 'people and culture' or just 'people' (followed by advisor / partner manager etc). Personally I've had a non-traditional, non-linear career which has included stints in generalist operational and business partnering roles and in specialist roles in reward, resourcing and transformation. You'll also see all kinds of other specialist roles in the field such as in Inclusion & Diversity, Talent Management, Training/Learning Management, coaching, shared services, employee relations etc etc. As others have said, a mentor could help you figure out where your interests lie and what you're good at so you can pursue a career path where you can excel.
