Why work in the people profession?

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.

  • I'd been a youth trainer for some time and my boss (now my wife) suggested I further my own development. It seemed like a good idea that I found something that would already include my training experience. Personnel/HR management seemed the next step to broaden my knowledge. So off I went and did my DPM.
