Pamela Turay makes the case that communication, collaboration and caring are essential to a successful career in HR management.
Harry & David SVP of HR, Pamela Turay is teaching her team daily about a “people first” approach to HR management. Her 3 C’s are guidelines to success in her field.
Caring
“You really need [to be] someone who has genuine care about people. We have a philosophy: We hire human beings. We don’t hire workers.”
Communication
“I believe that’s an art. And I think it’s really important for HR professionals because your job is really about people and how people bring value to the business through the job they do and the commitment they have to the organization.”
Collaboration.
“I think the role of a leader is to share information and to develop the strongest team you can possibly have.”
Pamela Turay is the SVP of HR at Harry & David. She was featured in Issue 10 of Forefront Magazine.
