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.

  • What motivated me to work in the people profession? Where else could I find a role that involves being a diplomat, negotiator, enabler, facilitator, trainer, mediator, organiser, legislator, advisor..... shall I go on?! With people at the centre of everything you do, there are dozens of ways the working day can progress (some planned and some definitely unplanned) and when you log off the computer and wend your way home after a day's work you're justified in allowing yourself to feel a modest sense of satisfaction. That's what motivates me.
