Why work in the people profession?

Steve Bridger

What motivated you to work in the HR profession?

Was it working with people? Opportunities to progress? Flexibility? No two days are the same... and so on.

It would be great to get some real life perspectives from community members.

We've looked at variations on this theme before, e.g. 

www.cipd.co.uk/.../best-achievement-in-hr-best-thing-you-have-implemented

www.cipd.co.uk/.../working-in-hr-if-you-could-start-again-would-you

...but not quite the question I'm asking now.

  • Hi Steve

    I think there will be a degree of cross-over between your question and a post Robey made earlier today about people finding purpose at work. I would think a lot of us work in HR because we find it meaningful - whatever the nature of the business we work in, we are able to make a difference to the lives of the employees. If work was all about money, we'd all try to get jobs as investment bankers (huge assumption here that investment bankers earn scads of money).
