How long have you been at Focus? 📅 Since January 2024 What does a day in the life of your role at Focus look like? 📋 It is so varied! I could be delivering leadership training; working with clients on developing leadership opportunities for their teams; coaching leaders on values and culture, delivering and receiving feedback; or working with clients on various strategies such as how to enhance their employee value proposition for attraction and retention. What makes you passionate about working in the HR industry? 🤝 The opportunity to have an impact on people, and to learn and share (both ways!). What are the biggest opportunities you see for the industry in 2024 and beyond? 📈The basics around leading and managing people will always be relevant, but in my opinion I think there is a huge opportunity to learn about and implement generational drivers, and continue to develop workplaces that are safe, inclusive and positive. How do you like to spend your downtime? ☀️ So many things, so little time! I love spending time with my family and friends; supporting my kids with their various activities and interests, but I also love down time at home with a good movie or series. How would you describe Focus HR in one word? 👥 Awesome! #MeetTheTeam #LeadershipConsultant #EmployeeEngagement #FocusHR
