So we’re currently in the ‘phase 2’ of our People Team journey. My roles more defined (as much as a CoS ever is!), and I have a fantastic People Ops person BUT recognising our scope of work and really holding ourselves accountable to what we can and cannot do is where we can tend to slide.
We want to do so much, it’s almost too much! I look at our H1 KPIs I set and I’m like 👀 Ahhhh we tried to do too much and now we didn’t get far enough with anything!
This is super helpful. When I worked as an HR business partner, it used to be so difficult to show the impact of the work I did for the business unit. The biggest struggle was saying no due to some unspoken rule that said if you can’t ask xyz anywhere, ask the people team. Cue questions, enquiries and favours totally outside my expertise. Time wasted in redirecting everything. All because as a people team member, it’d be looked down upon if I say no!
YAAAAAAAAS. To all of this. Even though I'm not a People Leader anymore. And may never be again. This is simply smart stuff to do for anyone who has to work for a living or interact with humans towards a common goal. 💜
Ahhhh this is brilliant!
