A career in HR offers so many opportunities for professionals who are committed to continuous learning and strategic development. When I wrote “Launch Your HR Career” this was just a starting point to inspire those new to the HR profession, but when we are more established and making great strides, we naturally look at progression opportunities.

So, if you are in just that situation, or have been considering a leap for a while, I created this blog, just for you! Here are some of my essential strategies to help you on your way.

I get asked this question so often, I have written this handy post for anyone looking to upgrade their CIPD membership to become a Chartered Member of the CIPD.

I love hearing about people’s CIPD journey, their individual experiences of success bring me joy!

“You’re by no means a normal HR consultant… you’re our kind of girl!”

by Natalie EllisLeave a Comment on “You’re by no means a normal HR consultant… you’re our kind of girl!”

I’ve just had a really interesting chat with one of my clients about bringing our authentic selves to work following the pandemic, and also how the transition from corporate to business owner makes us feel when it comes to being our true selves at work.

I’m currently writing this from my office wearing my favourite Spice Girls sweatshirt for context…

Ethical Dilemmas in HR: When You’re Asked to Cross the Line…

by Natalie EllisLeave a Comment on Ethical Dilemmas in HR: When You’re Asked to Cross the Line…

As HR professionals, we often find ourselves at a crossroads of organisational interests and ethical responsibilities. Achieving a balance, being aware of our responsibilities, all whilst juggling the needs of the business and ethical boundaries; it is no wonder that I get asked this often at events I speak at.

For many, this is an uncomfortable position to be in, for example, how many times have you been asked to cross the line when it comes to dismissals because that person doesn’t fit in, but no other reasons behind it?

The Key to Positivity: A Journey of Continuous Learning

by Natalie EllisLeave a Comment on The Key to Positivity: A Journey of Continuous Learning

I have been inspired to write this post after I recently read the books The Comfort Zone and The Key to Positivity by Kristen Butler. I found both books were incredibly inspiring, and when juggling running a business, managing a team, and all whilst trying to spend time with family and friends, it’s safe to say it is difficult to stay positive consistently when managing stress.

Managing stress is a subject I have studied for many years, not just as part of my CIPD studies, but when meeting the many different people I am fortunate to work with. I am always curious to find out what works for people, because the answers are never the same, from the variety of solutions available, it is interesting to learn from others on what works for them.
