✈️ A Personal Note on HR in Aviation 🌍 After so many years in the aviation industry, my journey has shown me that HR is about so much more than policies and paperwork—it's about people and their dreams. I’ve been fortunate to see firsthand how a career in aviation can change someone’s life, just like it changed mine. From my early days as a flight attendant to working in HR, I’ve witnessed how important it is to create an environment where every person feels valued and heard. Aviation is fast-paced and full of challenges, but it’s also an industry that thrives on teamwork, safety, and passion. As an HR professional, I've come to appreciate how deeply our work impacts careers and the difference we can make. Whether it’s guiding someone in their career journey, providing opportunities for development, or simply being a listening ear—it’s about building connections that lift people up. It's more than just hire, onboard, or manage processes; is helping people find their purpose in an industry that connects the world. Here’s to the human side of aviation! ✈️💙 #AviationHR #PeopleFirst #CareerJourneys #SupportingGrowth #AviationFamily #HRWithHeart #PassionForPeople

Talent acquisition for future and existing private jet cabin crew since 2007 (news from our website) More and more business/corporate aviation companies are becoming aware that the point where it all starts is the talent acquisition. It is imperative for business aviation companies to allocate time and resources towards identifying individuals who meet their requirements. For many private jet companies, finding the right people is not easy anymore.  Therefore, they are realizing that investing in professional talent acquisition companies like Training Solutions pays off, and on the end it often saves them money and the process is finished in a much shorter time frame than they predicted. Since Training Solutions focuses exclusively on corporate aviation, primarily on the recruitment of private jet cabin crews, we were able to build up and impressive network of contacts since launching its operations in 2007. Many of our business aviation clients are repeat clients for whom we have provided talent acquisition for corporate cabin crew since many years. They are based all over Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and even Asia. Our closest contacts are usually the pilots or chief pilots who fly on the private jets for which they’re looking to recruit, and Training Solutions is known for its discretion, effectiveness, and dependability. All of our thinking is in the long term, and this is clearly appreciated by our long established contacts who work with us since many years. #cabincrewrecruitment #flightattendantrecruitment #cabinattendantrecruitment #privatejetcabincrewrecruitment #privatejetflightattendantrecruitment #privatejetcabinattendantrecruitment #corporatejetcabincrewrecruitment #corporatejetflightattendantrecruitment #corporatejetcabinattendantrecruitment #businessaviationrecruitment #corproateaviationrecruitment #talentaquisition #talent #recruitment #aviation #businessaviation

I just learned that August 19 is National Aviation Day! And you may think my excitement for that is weird, but aviation will always hold a special place in my heart. My first "real" job out of college was as a Human Resources Generalist for Garrett Aviation, a corporate aviation company. And, boy, did I learn a lot in that job! Not just about HR and employees and managers, but also just about how to be a business leader. It's where I learned it is ok, even if you are the most senior member of a company, to ask questions when you don't know or understand. In my 2 years at Garrett, I experienced an Affirmative Action Audit by the OFCCP, a union organizing campaign, my manager getting terminated and his replacement having vastly different expectations of me than the previous manager (which was a lesson in communication for both of us), an acquisition by GE, and working in a very male-dominated industry. It was also where I met my husband, but that's a story for another day. I get so excited anytime I get a chance to work in or near aviation. It is a field that continues to fascinate me! #humanresources #HR #fractionalhr #fractionalhumanresources #aviation #learning #growth

📝 Routine... Some of you know that I'm not just a simple HR, I'm a universal administration and aviation HR professional. I have the incredible opportunity to work with administration and aviation personnel, understand their unique needs, support them, and navigate through many fascinating cases and situations in this magical and sometimes mysterious world ✨ One of my key responsibilities is to use the summer season wisely by visiting our crews at various bases. So far, I've had the pleasure of visiting 2 bases, with 2 more on the way. These meetings are invaluable for both myself and our crews. 👥Why These Meetings Matter: ✔Enhanced Communication: Face-to-face interactions foster better communication and understanding, allowing us to address concerns and feedback directly. ✔ Building Trust: Regular visits build stronger relationships and trust between HR and the crew, creating a more cohesive work environment. ✔ Boosting Morale: Personal interactions show our crew members that they are valued and their well-being is a priority. ✔ Identifying Issues Early: Being on the ground helps identify and resolve potential issues before they escalate, ensuring smoother operations. ✔ Continuous Improvement: Insights gathered from these meetings help in refining our processes and policies, leading to an overall improvement in our work culture and efficiency. These visits are more than just formalities, they bring tangible benefits to our company and personnel. By connecting directly with our teams, we ensure a supportive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute their best. No matter if it's flying personnel, administration, or other roles, if you're working with teams in different cities or countries, invest your time in having live meetings from time to time because it brings impactful value ❗ Looking forward to the remaining visits and continuing to support our amazing teams! #HR #Aviation #TeamSupport #Opportunities #Unicorn #Pilot #CabinCrew #SummerSeason #Business #WorkCulture #EmployeeEngagement #Hr #LivingAviation
