This week, Lucinda talks to another Real HR Professional! Her guest is Laura Burt, Head Of Human Resources at Innovative Trials, who joins the show to talk about her HR career journey, and the lessons learned along the way.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Retail provides more of a challenge than most sectors because so much of it is reliant upon many other factors, such as supply. Therefore, the need to be agile is far greater.
Certainly, how we engage with people across the organisation is key to making things work efficiently. We must endeavour to treat each situation as new. There is no solution that fits every challenge.
Some people aren't there for the money. They are there for the passion they have for the job. This means they have an entirely different set of motivations.
Self-development is key at every stage in our career. Indeed, there are always things to learn, and always different routes to solutions that we may not be aware of.

BEST MOMENTS

'I like to get to know different people and learn about what makes them them'

'It's about understanding what makes our teams tick'

'There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to this'

'I never did go to uni, but I have made something of myself'
