The world’s most popular interview-based podcast for senior talent acquisition and HR professionals. Guests are thought leaders and practitioners, many of whom have global reputations for innovation.
As part of my continuing focus on getting a diverse range of opinions and voices on the show, this week I thought it would be interesting to get the views of a Global HR Director.
My guest for this episode is Graeme Cook, Group HR Director at ground engineering specialist Keller, a company who employ 10,000 people across 40 different companies. Graeme’s career has itself been a global one and he has worked in several different countries for his past employers, giving him a genuinely global perspective.
In the interview we discuss:
• Some of the key considerations and challenges of operating HR at a global level
• Skill shortages in the Oil, Gas and Engineering sectors
• The three key parts of the HR Director’s role and HR’s position within the organization
• Technology, automation and the future of HR
Graeme also talks about his transition from working in finance to working in HR and gives his views on the challenges of managing a multi-generational workforce.
