2. How do you develop your knowledge and skills to do your job better?
I am a huge fan of educational podcasts, I subscribe to a few HR podcasts which help keep me up to date on industry changes and challenges in my profession. I also subscribe to the HR Brew newsletter which is Bi-Weekly. I regularly attend webinars through SHRM to gain education credits that I use towards my recertification. Around my yearly performance review I also try to discuss development opportunities with my manager for the following year so there is a plan in place. I feel while you can develop in your career through passive experiences, gaining knowledge through outside sources and actively asking for opportunities or even presenting ideas for growth opportunities to you manager is another tool you have to grow.
3. When you think about being developed yourself, who has inspired you or been instrumental in your growth? My manager has been instrumental in my growth. She has given me the training and provided the learning opportunities to grow my professional experience. Good managers truly make all the difference so I am happy to see the company provide so many development opportunities for our people leaders.
