Real-life HR people profiles

Every business is different, and the way their HR function operates is different. Roles in HR range from generalist positions that touch a lot of different activities through to specialist areas, such as Talent Management and Reward. The way HR is structured in an organisation can vary depending on its size, scale and structure.
To bring HR to life, we've asked real-life HR professionals at different stages of their career, what they do and what attracted them to a career in HR.
