🔥Time to level up your skills in HR? Ep.25 Claire Cathcart | Personalising HR: Elevating your skills for success In our upcoming episode on the Be You Start Now podcast, we discussed HR roles, managerial approaches, surveys, strategies, personalities, communication, appraisals, and, of course, well-being at work plus more! Are you an HR professional? Wow - you’ll love it. In the full episode, we explored the recognition that not all managers enjoy or feel confident at facilitating conversations about well-being with their team, highlighting the need for training. Managing the balance between asking about someone's well-being and encouraging openness and transparency, without infringing on personal privacy, is essential. Yet, not everyone is open in how they respond to what may seem uncomfortable at times. “I think the onboarding time is just a great opportunity to say why well-being is so important in your organisation” says Claire Cathcart Get a taster for the full episode here and watch our trailer on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eam5R6R5 Full episode out tomorrow, Tuesday 5th March #humanresources #hr #podcastguest #podcast #beyoustartnow

Known for her wealth of knowledge, she is a guiding light when it comes to mentoring and coaching other HR professionals and elevate their HR skills and career. Let me introduce you to Claire Cathcart. So welcome to the show Claire Cathcart have I got your name wrong? And I never left HR and it's been a it's been a great career so far I've worked for. Some amazing companies, I spent a long time at Tue, the holiday company, yeah, loved it there. So the world of leisure and travel industry and in more recent years I've been working for kind of smaller businesses, so 350 employees, very different to the big corporate world. We talk about culture. You talk about personal development, recruitment strategy. Wow you've you've you've done it all by looks of it. So where should we start with that? What what do you reckon? With the good leadership qualities. Point I was working for a global organization with 19,000 employees. Does that how do you move from being an HR advisor to an HR business partner And it really came down to being more proactive. So HR advisors are very reactive, dealing with manager queries, employee queries. And then you move into the HR business partner space, which is more proactive. You're creating your own work essentially and you're definitely operating in a much more strategic space because I often say to people that innate HR, we think of them as being this unit. This you know from outer space and they're they're not human in the sense that they're not employees. Everyone in HR as an employee themselves think in HHR we don't make life easy for ourselves when it comes to job titles. The job title will vary depending on the size of the company, the industry you're in, the culture of that business. So you can't always look at a job description or job advert or the HR business partner and just think, yes, I know exactly what they do. Because the rules vary so much, everybody's entitled to a voice, but yet we all obviously have different job roles. I mean, where do we draw the line? Where do we draw the line on that? I mean, is it the case of getting everyone together and saying feeding in, then it goes back up to the board or does it come top down in a company? And I say this a lot and every person is different. So I think as an HR leader managing a team of people. You must recognize those differences so everyone will want something different from you, the amount of one to ones you have, the style, is it coaching, is it mentoring? And I think so. One of the, I guess to answer your question, one of the key skills of the HR leader is being adaptable. What is there a difference between saying your head of HR, head of people expecting an annual employee engagement survey? I've personally done focus groups to get kind of more qualitative data and information from people and you're right. In HR, we do have very privileged access to conversations with employees that other managers may not have.
