Unlike CEOs, supervisors, and managers, HR leaders need to work hard to prove themselves and to earn a seat at the table. I recently had a meaningful conversation over coffee with an HR Director who shared the challenges she had to face to correct the image of HR in their organization. At the onset of her HR career, she had to break the myth that HR only handled hiring and firing. Although it meant extra work for her, she made the effort to create and foster a positive workplace culture and initiate robust employee development programs in their company. She also had to break the myth that HR was solely there to enforce rules. Many employees looked at her as a disciplinarian rather than a supportive resource. She constantly showed that she is approachable, and that she is ready to listen and to provide support. She intensified advocating for employee well-being and mediating conflicts. Lastly, she had to prove the value of HR knowledge and efforts to the company's leadership. This was the most challenging part of her work because the management did not believe that HR can contribute to the company's strategic goals. Senior management often undervalued her insights, believing HR was not integral to business success. However, her initiatives in talent management and leadership development, as well as transparent communication across the company proved crucial during a company-wide restructuring. She carried her team's banner by showing the true scope of HR and by demonstrating HR's strategic value. Her dedication paid off, leading to a newfound respect for her role and a promotion to HR director. Now, the HR team has earned a seat at the table, and the higher ups consider them essential partners in the success of the business. #HumanResources #HRStories #HRAppreciation #ʙᴇɴᴇfitsguy ▂ ▂ ▂ ▂ ▂ Come & get to know me: https://lnkd.in/d_vy6qq

As our HR clients know, building effective career pathways and developing individual competencies are integral to successful recruitment and retention - but all too often, it's easier said than done. There are many reasons why these initiatives lack credibility and fail - a lack of time, resources, know-how and leadership buy-in are just a few. We were fortunate enough to gain deeper insights from Jo Taylor and Craig Howells from Let's Talk Talent who explored the issues in a really engaging way at our HR Hub webinar last week. For those of you in my network who weren't able to attend but would like an overview, you can read Jo's blog and contact her to find out more. #CareerPathways #CompetencyFrameworks #HumanResources #CareerProgression #OxfordRecruitment Agency

This week’s #MemberMonday Spotlight: Christina Boudreaux! How long have you been a GBR SHRM member? A long time. I became involved in LSU-SHRM during college, and thanks to Dr. Courtland Chaney, quickly realized how integral it was to my career in HR. What is your functional HR role? I work with clients as an Executive Recruiter and HR/TA Consultant. What has been your favorite Chapter Meeting topic and why? Christel Slaughter’s Change Management topic last May. Change management is such an important aspect in every business strategy, yet so often overlooked. What do you like most about being a part of GBR SHRM? The ability to stay relevant through a vast range of HR topics at each meeting, as well as the opportunity for networking and staying connected with HR peers in the community. Why did you join GBR SHRM? All of the reasons above! #HRProfessionals #SHRM
