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.

  • I have an obsession with systems incorporating chaotic elements. I am fixated upon the conviction that, in the face of all evidence, there is a "solution" to chaotic systems that will render them solvable.

    Like Don Quixote, I mount my noble steed daily and tilt at the giants of recruitment, absence, greivance, discipline and training unaware that those ponderous windmills of the gods are oblivious to my futile efforts.

    Along the way, I occasionally draw into my wake a loyal Sancho Panza. To them, I can only apologize.
