“As a former Human Resources professional and professor of Human Resources, I know how important this role is to an organization,” said Dr. Michele Rigolizzo, Assistant Professor of Management at the Feliciano School of Business. “Gone are the days of being solely responsible for hiring the right talent and ensuring they have the benefit package.

Organizations that use HR as a strategic partner has a competitive advantage in the market.”

So, whether you are looking to advance your career in HR or are just starting out, Dr. Rigolizzo shares three tips to help shape your trip:

1. It’s All About Data –HR professionals are now expected to use data, either as HR analysts, or in partnership with analysts. Therefore, it is very important to have strong analytical skills to help organizations ask the right questions at the right time, namely, What employees do we need to hire now?; How can we help create a positive workplace?; How do we develop fair work practices? If you need to hone your analytical skills, sign up for the HR Analytics program – it will give you an edge over the competition.
2. Network through Exploration – Don’t get caught in the bubble. Explore other departments, such as customer service or finance. It can deepen your understanding of organizations and give you a new perspective on the present and the future. Explore other HR roles to expand your career possibilities. Reach out to HR managers in different roles or in organizations of different sizes to understand the role of HR in corporate strategy. Connect!
3. Be Agile and Open to New Ideas – Employee experience is essential for productive and innovative work. We know that employees want to do a good job, so it’s important for HR to dig deep and challenge assumptions. Use data to examine employee experiences and don’t be afraid of their questions – or their answers. Real-life challenges that distract employees, or technology that facilitates good work may be different from yesterday or tomorrow. Finally, it is important for HR to help create an environment where every employees have a voice. To do so, you need to do the work to understand bias and how to help employees at all levels overcome it.
