So today, I was listening to a podcast entitled 'pig in lipstick'. The intent of the podcast, or at least the speaker was talking about how HR needs to evolve and become a more relevant function within the business context.
The words, and indeed the very ideas resonated in my brain.
Evidently I am a little eccentric - or at least thats how one recruitment consultant referred to me last week, and its a label I wear proudly. All too often people hear me refer to Gattaca, that old Uma Thurman movie where she met her husband that didn't work out, but I digress. Anyway, for me, the premise of that movie or at least the workplaces shown in it are clearly where many people have gone before, and where many in HR would like us to continue to go - same same same bland dull and completely absent of any quirky eccentric ideas or people.
So, the Pig in Lippy - are you a traditional HR person, who has brought your 1990s thinking, forms, tools, processes and mindsets into the 2010s?
I am profoundly inspired by the podcast, I aim to be, act, and think differently on Monday, and to not passively accept that innovation is not possible or indeed desired in the HR space, no, my plan is to push, to challenge (more than usual) those around me to do, act and think differently as well.....
