I was just fresh out of university and I wasn’t sure what to do and I sat down with my dad and we said, WHSmith. Really well known brand. Everybody loves it and it’d be great for your career. Talked about it and I thought, yes that’s the role for me.
I advise senior leadership on complex business issues, performance, reward and pay, talent and succession goal planning, and more. My role also involves challenging certain senior stakeholders in their decisions. I act as their critical friend for decisions impacting people from both engagement and well-being perspectives, I also work closely with our talent acquisition partners to ensure we have sufficient diversity representation across all levels."
My team is the best I've ever worked with! I've been involved with training colleagues from different levels and developing them to move on to different locations. It's my pride and joy to work with them.
