What makes someone really good at HR? Understanding far more than their own role. I recently sat down with Neil Hunter from Deloitte to talk about what it takes to build a successful career in the function. His biggest piece of advice? Build your business acumen. Understand your industry, how the organisation creates value and where HR can make a difference. That feels particularly relevant as AI changes how work gets done. As Neil points out, speeding up one part of a process can simply move the bottleneck somewhere else. What stayed with me was the challenge this creates for leaders. We’ve spent years giving people defined roles and responsibilities. Now we need to help them think across the whole workflow. What have you learnt about your business that has changed the way you work in HR?
