I’ve come across this discussion on LinkedIn CIPD group and I thought I’d share and ask my fellow colleagues what their answer would be.
The question was “Describe in three words what do you actually do”.
This got me thinking, would I describe my job in three words? 
I normally think that my work is about ‘enhancing business performance’, however if you catch me on a bad day you are more likely to get ‘juggling and firefighting’ or ‘cleaning up mess’!
What would be yours?
Here are some examples of how other HR Professionals described what they do in three words, some of them rather unorthodox:
- Collaborate with operations, or, deliver realistic HR
- Justify, justify, justify!
- Love My Job
- Facilitate peoples learning
- Involve, engage, change
- My three words would be …..define, develop, achieve. Although, I have had
feedback describing me as a “Mr Magic Facilitator”. - Get stuck in!
- Support, influence, develop
- develop future leaders
- Expert plate spinner!
- facilitate business solutions
- Do things differently
- try to help
- Build Sustainable Organisations
- talk to people
- continuing professional development
- protect the business
- Juggle, Support, Care
- Find great people
- Get people talking
- Solve people issues
- Connect, Empower, Inspire
- Help people improve
- Get people thinking
- Protect Clients’ Businesses
