I know what you’re thinking, “I’m stressed all the time at work!” and we all know that the daily grind can be challenging. Stress at work is something that affects us all. Whether it’s meeting tight deadlines, dealing with challenging collegues, or simply feeling overwhelmed with too much to do, work-related stress can take a toll on our mental and physical well-being.
But the good news is that stress is manageable, and there are simple things we can do to reduce its impact on our lives. I’ve pulled together some top tips to help you manage stress at work and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Networking is out of most people’s comfort zones, and recently I attended a brilliant networking event called #WorkTheRoom at The Ivy in London. It was wonderful to meet so many entrepreneurs with so many different skillsets in one room and I learnt so much from them in just one afternoon which in itself was worthwhile.
When I speak to people who are starting out in their HR career, I always tell them that one of the strongest assets they ahve is their network. Love it or hate it, networking is essential to build a strong connections with other business professionals as it can help you achieve your personal and professional goals in a number of ways. Whether you’re looking for a new job, seeking career development, or simply seeking new opportunities, networking can help open the doors to make these things happen.
One of the things I get asked often, is how did I progress my career?
I started my working life as a Travel Agent and selling holidays on the high street, I made a move into HR as an HR administrator, and now I run my own multi-award winning business which is a dream come true.
The answer I give is – I did not achieve this dream alone!
I know it has been a long time since I have done a personal HR blog but to be honest, I haven’t really felt like writing for a while now, but I wanted to thank everyone who has been missing my little HR blog and have been writing to me directly!
Since I launched my business Rebox HR in March 2020, it has been incredibly busy and my little business has gained so much momentum, I’m incredibly proud of how well it has done but it leaves me very little time to blog at the rate I used to! I am writing lots of new content both on here and on my business blog, so if you’re looking for the more of the legal HR stuff, make sure you pop over and give it a follow.
The main reason people contact me is to ask about their own HR careers and what they need to do to progress so as an idea, some of the main questions I am being asked are:
How do I get into an HR career?
How can I progress my career?
I’m stuck in my HR job, I want to do something else – help!
What CIPD qualification is right for me?
Is it worth upgrading my CIPD membership?
As I am now getting around 10-15 emails a week, I thought I would take an opportunity to meet some of you online to talk all things HR, my book Launch Your HR Career (grab your copy here!) and answer your burning questions!
On 7th September 2021, I am hosting an event online at 6:30pm – it would be great if you could join me, to book your ticket, grab yours here! Spaces are limited and on a first come first serve basis so make sure you don’t miss out.
Today is a very special day, because I officially pushed the button to print my book!
Launch Your HR Career will be released on 20th November and my blog followers will have exclusive access to a very special copy of the book.
Launch Your HR Career is for those who want to grow their confidence, develop their resilience, discover their purpose and carve the best HR career for themselves. If you are a career changer, university student, already in HR and lack motivation or even someone with an interest in HR, this is the book for you.
