For some of us building career in #HR and Administration.
As an HR and Administrative professional with experience across various industries, I've come to appreciate the versatility of my role as a business partner. To build a solid career and earn a seat at the decision-making table, you must have a business partnership mentality. And the only way to do this is to understand the industry you're operating in. The truth is, you can't manage what you don't understand.
Throughout my career, I've made it a point to immerse myself in each new industry I join. In hospitality, I studied the ins and outs of the business, and my colleagues thought I had a degree in hospitality! In fintech, I learned about loans, MPR, non-performing loans, amortization, and more. And now, in real estate and construction, I'm not content to just sit at my desk. I actively visit sites, learn from engineers and artisans, and even asked our equipment manager to send me pictures and explanations of all the equipment, from D8s to pay-loaders.
As an HR professional or Administrator, your success depends on how well you understand the business. You can't create policies and procedures for something you don't understand. Managing medical doctors, construction site workers, techies, or consultants requires different approaches. Your job is to balance the 3Ps: people, process, and policies. It's a tough task, but with a business partnership mentality, you can effectively support both the company and staff.
