Welcome to another episode of the Secret Resume podcast, where we dive deep into the untold stories and secret resumes of fascinating guests! This week, I'm thrilled to chat with the incredible Perry Timms, a true innovator in the world of HR. Perry shares the colourful journey that brought him to the HR field, starting from his early days in the civil service to becoming a renowned HR leader. We explore his passion for learning, curiosity, and why he proudly wears the badge of a 'Rebel with a Cause'.  We take a closer look at HR trends, the future of management, and what it means to create a truly people-powered organisation. Plus, Perry spills the beans on what he believes are essential areas for HR professionals to focus on for future success.  Whether you're in HR, curious about personal growth, or just love hearing about unique career paths, this episode is for you.
