Fairness and Transparency across all employees is paramount but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Be flexible, adapt to the times, build relationships with your clients, listen to their challenges to figure out how you can support them instead of only looking at your own agenda and what you think would help. Spend time in their shoes!

Stress levels when dealing with employee relations and long term absences can be extremely high. Always try not to take your work home with you and realise that you can't always understand why people act/react in the way they do.

Most companies have not yet realized the true value of HR yet. We are the heart of an organization. If we are not strong the organization is not strong. We are not the paper pushers and nose wipers of 20 years ago. Executives need to get with the times and realize this is not just a "fluffy ladies profession" and take HR for what it is. A necessity at the table in the boardroom - not a small office in the basement. If HR does not produce high quality hires and ensure legal compliance on terminations at a minimum that leaves the organization open to serious potential risk and unnecessary costs. Lets not even get onto the subject of Health and Safety...HR is JUST as important as the CEO, COO and CFO and we belong at the table ensuring legal compliance and high quality staffing at the right time amongst other important issues.
