Claire Cusack, Head of Human Resources, Allianz Worldwide Care discusses what it takes to be a successful HR professional

What is the key to being a successful HR professional?

Working in HR, I think it’s really important that you’re fully aligned with the Company’s strategic goals and objectives. Our HR strategy nurtures our company culture and supports the fulfilment of business objectives globally. An HR representative at a senior level should be an ally of the Chief Executive, ensuring that HR supports the future direction of the company and helps to maximise employee motivation and engagement. This combines high performance levels with the attainment of strategic objectives.
