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.
Is This Room Free?
Maria Hawley - HR Director (the benefits of investing in and looking after employees)
This week I'm delighted to be joined by Maria Hawley on Is This Room Free?
I've become a bit of a fan of Maria having seen many of her posts on LinkedIn and asked her if she'd kindly like to come on the show. Thankfully, she said she'd be pleased to and here we are.
Maria is a HR Director but is someone who believes passionately about HR's role in ensuring how an organisation treats their employees. This has led to some amazing initiatives that she kindly shares during our conversation. She has worked in both the public and private sectors, honing her skills as a HR practitioner and learning best practice along the way.
It was an absolute pleasure chatting to Maria so I hope you enjoy listening.
