Royal Mail loses another human resources director as Kevin G

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Royal Mail has lost its second high-profile human resources (HR) director in a matter of weeks with Kevin Green's surprise departure from the organisation.

Green, people and organisational development director for the letters division, is understood to have left suddenly late last month. His exit follows group HR director Tony McCarthy's move to British Airways (BA) in November last year.

Green joined Royal Mail in October 2003 as chief learning officer, moving into the director role in September 2004. Before joining Royal Mail, he was managing director of HR consultancy Qtab.

Royal Mail Letters is the biggest arm of the organisation, employing the bulk of its 200,000-plus staff. Last year, it was embroiled in a high-profile and bitter dispute with its unions over pay, job cuts and modernisation plans.

Despite recent industrial relations problems, Green boosted his reputation among the profession during his time at Royal Mail by steering through major changes. The company reduced its HR spend by £57m in two years as part of a massive organisational overhaul, slashing headcount in the HR function and improving sickness absence rates.

Speaking at a Personnel Today HR Directors Club briefing in 2005, Green admitted driving the change project had been "an emotional rollercoaster".

Royal Mail confirmed Green's departure and that Dale Haddon, previously group talent director, had replaced him.

The likelihood of Green reuniting with his former boss at BA is small. Insiders have claimed the two men had a difficult working relationship, and clashed on more than one occasion.

re: Did he write this?

I am sure he wrote this himself. Unless he's got an agent or his mum.

Forgive me if I am wrong here, but I don't remeber him being particularly involved in the HR centralisation programme. In fact I was never quite sure what he actually did.

Maybe he jumped before being properly pushed?

No - sorry, someone is going to have to tell me what exactly a "group talent director" is or does.

My idea of talent is based on the 60s expression of beautiful young women - now please tell me I haven't missed the opportunity of a job like that and will they be filling this role internally?

At least Cheggers keeps his clothes on these days . Crazy Act , remember him from the James Whale Show with the Donkey Catchphrase .

that's a Group Talent Director http://jobs.timesonline.co.uk/Jobs/1395 ... ector.html

apparently he's a talent scout for RM Senior Managers :funneh :funneh and builds up "teams" of the "best" Senior Managers . There has to be a "suspension of reality " with Royal Mail !

I take it the savings wern't made @ Old St , probably more cutting to the bone and harassing ill people back to work .

Weapons grade corporate HR bull***t , goes with the scenary with those two in charge .A lot of toys being thrown out of the Pram in Old St recently :Applause :Applause especially with the Burslem dispute .
