How to develop “real, market-facing and relevant change”
With more than 25 years’ experience in supporting the human resources (HR) efforts of financial services companies, Seema Vadera (pictured), global head of HR for Liberty Specialty Markets (LSM) has first-hand experience of how attitudes towards HR have evolved.
Where HR was once broadly considered an ‘admin function’, there is now a greater understanding of how the people and culture of a company shape, define and support its commercial progression. When she first stepped into the HR world, Vadera said, it wasn’t with the long-term ambition of remaining there, but she was quickly drawn in by the variety of experiences that any day working in HR can bring.
