Justin Dorsey - Lead HR Consultant (Progressive HR and the importance of challenging the status quo)
On this episode I'm joined by Justin Dorsey who currently works as a Lead HR Consultant for an outsourced HR provider in Dallas, Texas. I've been connected with Justin for a while on LinkedIn and he is someone who posts really interesting and thought provoking ideas so he naturally caught my attention and someone I was very keen to get onto the podcast.Justin has a very interesting introduction into HR. He was working in the Finance Team for a cell phone retail business when the HR Director left and Justin put his hand up and offered himself up for the vacant role..... with absolutely no previous HR experience. Want to find out how that worked out? Well you'll have to listen to the episode to find out, of course. However, Justin is still in HR so it can't be all bad.Throughout our conversation, Justin shares his view on HR and how he believes we should always be re-assessing our ways of working to ensure we're always raising the bar and pushing ourselves further. In his current role, Justin has gone from in-house HR to working for an outsourced Consultancy, meaning he now works with a range of businesses on an ever wider range of HR topics. It's something he absolutely loves so we explore the difference between the two (internal and outsourced) for anyone else keen to understand that side of things.Justin is an inspirational HR leader who is always pushing the status quo and an hour probably didn't do justice to the further insights we could have gotten from him. However, this is still a fantastic episode so I hope you enjoy listening.Support the show
