BBC HR boss and all-round superwoman Valerie Hughes D'Aeth, in between closing the gender gap now she's found it, sorting out presenter pay, doing HMRC's bidding, ripping up current terms and conditions of service, reducing 6,000 job titles to 600, implementing a new pay and grading structure, whilst cutting her own department by 30%, has found time for another interview with HR Magazine.
My highlight: “The relationship between the HR director and CEO in any organisation is always critical because if it is not open and honest then not much can happen. The HR director is often in a privileged space as a confidante of the CEO and sometimes the chairman. You may be the only
person who they can talk to in complete confidence. Other colleagues around the executive table may be vying for the top job, but with no
hidden agenda and no aspiration for this, you can provide valuable advice in an objective, independent way.”
The two James, Purnell and Harding, better be nice to Val.
