Impress HR consulting firms by showcasing your ability to build a people-first and wellbeing culture. Focus on creating an environment of well-being: emotional, physical, career, social, and financial. Demonstrate how you can help clients prioritize employee happiness while navigating liabilities. Challenge the perception of HR as just rules; my opinion HR should be separated into departments Legal (rules and policies) and Talent (wellbeing and engagement from Acquisition to Retire).

Scheduling candidates across different time zones can be a real challenge, but it's crucial to prioritize the candidate experience. In my opinion, scheduling should revolve around the candidate to ensure a seamless process. Unfortunately, many companies operate under the misconception that candidates should be bending over backward to fit their schedule. This arrogance can deter top talent. The best managers I've seen are those who demonstrate flexibility and go the extra mile to accommodate candidates' schedules. This not only shows respect but also sets a positive tone for potential future collaboration. #Recruitment #CandidateExperience #Flexibility #Hiring

Recognize their perspective and have a side conversation to gain buy-in if they often resist so not to derail meetings. Listening and truly understanding their concerns is crucial. When pushback occurs, address it openly, figure out the why behind it and work together to improve. By fostering collaboration and addressing concerns, you can align efforts towards making the company vision a reality. The key is to transform resistance into constructive dialogue and shared growth.

When discussing career aspirations with your boss, ensure it's the right choice by considering these questions: What energizes me to wake up every day? Don't chase someone else’s dreams; will this role truly make me happy and fulfilled? Am I pursuing this for money, or will it help both me and the company succeed? If you're ready, prepare talking points on what you want to do, your plan to achieve it, and how it aligns with the company’s goals and mission.
