Meet Bailey Jackson – HR Coordinator & Human-Centered Thinker
What drew you to Hoyle Tanner?
I was working part-time as an HR Assistant at a local community college, looking for a full-time position, when I saw the HR Coordinator opportunity open at Hoyle Tanner. After I had my interview in the Manchester office, I knew right away that this was going to be a great fit for me and was (cautiously) optimistic I would get good news (luckily, I did 😊). I was drawn to the commitment on putting people first, whether it be our clients, employees or communities. This commitment does not waver, and I love being in a role where I can truly put people first.
What’s your favorite part of the company culture?
My favorite part of the company culture is the focus Hoyle Tanner has on work-life balance and employee well-being. I truly feel that I can balance the priorities of my personal life with those of my work life, without feeling stress of them getting in the way of one another. I think that’s pretty rare to find!
What’s a lesson you’ve learned from a colleague or what’s the best piece of professional advice you’ve ever received?
I actually heard this at an HR conference I attended very recently. It’s a quote from the movie “We Bought a Zoo” and one of the presenters had it in their presentation. “All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage, and I promise you something great will come of it.” I’ve already found myself coming back to this quote a handful of times since the conference. Now I need to watch the movie!
What’s one thing you wish people knew about your job?
That every single day looks different, and HR truly wears many hats. Just when you think you’ve seen (or even heard of) it all, a new situation arises that surprises you even more! But that’s just one of the many reasons I love being in HR.
What did you want to be when you were growing up / how did you get to be on the path you’re on?
I wanted to be an elementary school teacher when I was growing up, even throughout high school and some of college. More than anything though, I knew I wanted to do something where I would be helping people. Once I had switched my major to psychology, I took a course my junior year of college called “Industrial and Organizational Psychology” where my professor talked a lot about HR (which I had not heard about before). After that course, and looking more into HR as a career, I knew it would be the right fit for me!
