Why I love working in HR

Not sure if a career in HR is for you? Here are 4 reasons why I love working in HR:

1. It is rewarding

   • We are the enablers in our companies.
   • We help solve our employee’s problems and motivate them to be better.
   • We get the opportunity to make other’s working lives better.

2. We get to shape our company

   • We seek new ways to solve old problems, and create new solutions to bring the company to greater heights.
   • We are not just in a position to change the company’s business processes, but also its overall direction and character.

3. So much exposure

   • HR provides exposure to various departments of an organisation.
   • Many skills picked up in a role in HR (eg. interpersonal skills) lay a strong foundation for subsequent roles. The skills picked up from a role in HR are not just valuable, but also transferable.
   • Many successful HR professionals also often go on to pursue careers in areas such as management, advisory and strategy development with great success.

4. Work is different everyday

   • Day in, day out there are different challenges and tasks to be completed, ranging from administrative duties to surveying employees to inform ideas on how to improve on business processes
   • If a mundane job is not for you, HR is a path you could definitely consider.
