Stephen Enright (bio here) is a successful human resources consultant, executive, and HR leader, with a solid record of leading HR in healthcare, transportation, and high tech industries.
He has managed the Human Resources function in both union and non-unionized environments, from the manager, director, as well as CHRO levels, and has watched the HR function evolve over the years.
Stephen believes in the ‘old school’ approach that the three roles of HR are;
Advisor to management
Advocate for employees
Agent for the organization
"‘Corporate enabler’ should not be something on our resume,” he states on his website.
“I believe that the simple solution is often the best solution,” Stephen writes “There is still elegance in simplicity.”
In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, Stephen shares his perspectives on how Human Resources has changed over the years, and how C-Suite executives can help steer HR and how younger HR professionals can shape their careers.
