I have been a HR Administrator for 3 years. I have just completed my level 5 CIPD and over the last 1-2 years, although issues don’t come up that often in our smaller corporate section of the business, I have been grasping any opportunity that do arise in relation to employee relations and advisory tasks (performance issues, absence management, flexible working requests, lots of maternity cases, helping to deliver training & writing training materials).
While the main tasks of my role are the admin tasks, I do feel I want to start putting all what I have learnt into practice properly. I recently interviewed for a HR Advisor position in a different area of the business, the interview went pretty well and the role looks like it will be much busier in terms of employee relations issues. Does anyone have any tips or advice if I do get the role?
Many thanks
Katie
Hi Katie,
I am in a similar position as you. I have been with my employer for 3 years as a HR Coordinator and just completed my level 5 CIPD. I dont have much advise other than take in as much as you can and if you can observe the advisor in their day to day role. My advisors allow me to read case notes or sit in on meetings which has been really useful as a starting point.
