I started my life in HR in the recruitment sector, which was really fast paced. Afterwards, I worked in education which I found great for my development due to it being really process orientated as well as personally rewarding as I got a chance to help and support schools. I then moved to Grayling as I\u2019ve always been interested in communications due to doing a degree in English Literature.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en-GB\">Tell us a bit more about the People team at Grayling?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re a really professional team and approach our work with a lot of dedication. But I think the most important thing is we don\u2019t take ourselves too seriously and are down to earth, which I hope makes us feel approachable to colleagues.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en-GB\">Reflecting on your career, what accomplishment stands out to you the most? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d definitely say one of my biggest achievements was helping my team roll out a new HR &amp; payroll system when I worked in education. We had to put everything in place with a tight turnaround time along with configuring the system to accommodate a really complex set of terms and conditions. And we just about managed to get it all done (just)!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en-GB\">What aspects of your role do you find particularly fulfilling?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m ultimately a people person, so the most fulfilling part of the role is trying to help employees (cheesy I know). I also like the problem-solving aspect of working in HR, where we\u2019re often faced with challenging issues and need to think on our feet to diagnose situations and find solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en-GB\">Outside of work, what do you do to relax?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always binge-watching TV series or going to the cinema to escape. I\u2019m also a massive sports fan \u2013 anything from football to Formula 1, you name it! The other thing I like to do is going on long walks with my fianc\u00e9e, which helps take my mind off things \u2013 plus it\u2019s an easy way to get some exercise!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you looking to enter PR or find a great agency where you can build your career?
