One of the more unique and mentally stimulating aspects of working in Human Resources over the course of my career is that I have been able to be a part of a number of strategy projects, committees, and events. While some have revolved around developing our HR Dept. as a whole. Others have allowed me to reach out within the regions and markets that I support outside of the typical day-to-day office grind.
