Claire Cathcart, HR Director at Elevate Hub
In this episode (recorded at Foyles in London in December 2024, thanks to them!), Claire Cathcart, HR Director at ELEVATE, talks to Nic about her career journey. She initially studied media, then moved into HR, and worked across major corporates and the SME space!
Claire talks to Nic about the ELEVATE Hub, a community of HR professionals designed to help them learn, feel supported, and develop in their careers. Nic asks Claire about trends she is seeing in HR—she explains that HR professionals need support, too, particularly given the current volume of work!
Claire shares her thoughts on the Employment Rights Bill, the cost of living crisis, the blurring of work and home life, and the current mandate to return to the office! Nic asks Claire about the power of HR professionals using social media and in particular LinkedIn.
Claire shares her views on how HR professionals can develop their careers and set ambitious goals. Claire and Nic also look forward to the ELEVATE Event in London in March 2025: Secure your place today – The ELEVATE Event – Arboretum
