Director EEO & HR Compliance Emerson St. Louis, United States
The words “human resources” usually cause Engineers to run far and wide – but what if we were the secret weapon? Engineers in HR add incredible value to a field that is changing as quickly as any other. Data analytics, process design, optimization, applications of AI, etc. are all fast-growing needs within an HR organization. Engineers possess the skills to help. In traditional engineering, the product is predictable and stagnant, and in HR the product is anything but. Throughout our careers, many engineers look to make a change. We want to discuss a fantastic path that has changed both of our lives for the better - human resources. Join us for a chat on how moving into HR can be a great career option. Featuring two “reformed” engineers, we have found a home in HR – utilizing all of our analytical and inter-personal skills.
Learning Objectives:
Describe potential career paths beyond “traditional” engineering
