How do you get to the top of your game? What should you be doing, and more importantly not doing, to be a HR professional who is taken seriously and has a track record of success and impact?
Well this is the episode that uncovers all that.
I'm joined once again by Rachel Wilson Rugelsjoen who has worked for some of the most high profile, multinational corporations.
Rachel was my guest towards the end of Season 3 and we didn't manage to get through all we wanted to that time so the plan was always to bring her back to dive deeper into some of the parts we weren't able to cover off last time.
In this episode Rachel explains what it was like returning to Norway the second time, but on this occasion with solid HR career already behind her rather than trying to launch a career as was the case ten years previous. She tells how Norway had changed and become more multicultural and inclusive but how for any person relocating internationally can be a challenge as you leave your reputation behind and almost have to start from scratch.
However, my favourite part of our conversation is where we delve into what measures you need to be taking if you want to become a HR professional who is contributing to the strategy and truly adding value and impact.
This will be a game-changer episode for many people and make them look at their careers in a critical manner but in a way to ensure they are on the right track for whichever destination they ultimately want to get to.
I hope you enjoy listening as much I enjoyed the conversation with Rachel.
