Is This Room Free?
Welcome to Is This Room Free? In this podcast I will be talking to HR professionals and listening to the stories of their careers. I will be finding out about the journeys they have taken and what they learnt along the way. The purpose is to help others in the profession identify and understand the various paths available and take inspiration from my guest speakers. Whether you are someone who is looking to get that first step on the HR career ladder or an aspiring HR Director, I hope you get value from these conversations.

Jo Menon - working in Global HR Project Delivery roles, being a mum, and how to manage your day better
Joining me this week is Jo Menon. Jo is a seasoned Interim Senior HR project delivery specialist who has spent all her career operating in global roles. Along the way she has worked for some household names including Dyson, Regus, and Primark.
Jo has two children but had huge complications during the pregnancy of her first child, and she admits to struggling physically and emotionally afterwards. However, she was honest about this when she returned to the job market and found that it was OK to be honest and talk openly about her experiences.
She is a candid and focussed individual who, as you will see from our conversation, has gained immense knowledge on cultural differences and the impact of globalisation in work.
Jo shares many insights that I certainly benefited from so I hope you do too.
