Simon Thompson : "Please welcome Zareena Brown, our new 'Chief People Officer' "

[rubberbond]

her title is not Chief HR Officer but Chief People Officer because we are not about “human resources”, we are a people business.

Sorry, I was sick in my mouth at that bit.

If that bit made you sick , then my advice is don’t watch the video , you’ll be vomiting non stop.

[denhamhoop]

Please give Zareena a big Royal Mail welcome when you meet her.

WTF is a big Royal Mail welcome?

Lapsing?

To be given a trolley and shown her walk frame and told to get a crack on

Zareena, Your job is simple. Listen to us and then DONT do the exact opposite! Thats what generally happens here.

[PostmanBitesDog]

What a terrible job title…erm…welcome to hell?

I agree. And I've never heard of such a title as Chief People Officer, but apparently it's becoming common in a few countries...

Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) or Chief People Officer (CPO)

In the corporate world, the initials "CPO" is used often for Chief Procurement Officer.

Will Miss Brown be starting as a part timer?

Yes she will start on a 25 hour contract and after 37 years she will build up enough seniority to become full time.

Tongue in cheek comment but absolute bang on the money!

[sorefeet17]

Jes, She talks like a box ticking exercise, its like a parallel universe.

[Ozzvaldo]

What a load of self-congratulatory, management-speak crap.

[WASD]

Agree with all the previous comments.

It amazes me how insulting these "up top" employees can be. But don't worry, my skin is thick as i have to deal with insulting managers everyday at work.



Welcome to Royal Mail.

Chief people officer, sounds like something from North Korea. The answer to the problem is quite simple, we need more staff not more cosmetic or sticking plaster solutions.

[Marshamp11]

Chief Donkey Officer would be more appropriate.

[postieblueshirt]

We would be better off with Agnes brown.its a feckin disgrace...

[postslippete]

A Chief people officer that is looking forward to a meeting with Terry and Dave at the CWU. She doesn't have a bad "boat race" from what I could see on my mobile so I guess the only tools you need are a short skirt and a smile the size of the Thames.

Mission accomplished.

Insultingly nonsensical waffle.

Would love to see what her first week does actually involve and know how much she is being paid to do it.
