How would you describe the culture at PeopleEX?
It's very inclusive, and we all work very closely. We have a great learning environment as we all have different strengths that we bring to our work, and we are always open to learning more.
I love that we have a very family-friendly culture. As working mums, we all have lots of flexibility, which helps manage the day-to-day things we all need to get through!
PeopleEX is also lots of fun, very friendly, and truly professional.
What are your predictions for the future of HR?
It's been said before, but you can't remove the human element of meeting and talking through people matters. We've all become so used to doing things online, but we must not forget the benefits of being in a face-to-face environment to strengthen collaboration, connection, culture and learning.
I see HR continuing to be essential for businesses of all sizes, but I also see HR continuing to evolve through greater technology adoption to support people processes. As businesses move towards a better understanding of their own culture and developing their employee experience, they should leverage technology where they can.
What are your outside interests?
I've been a skier for many many years, but I also love the beach and the great outdoors across Aotearoa. I enjoy travelling to new places, exploring different countries and cultures and their local cuisine. I also love a great TV series or movie, so I can immerse myself in their world as I watch!
