About Karen Walsh

I am an experienced HR and Customer Service professional, with a lengthy and varied background. I have a strong work ethic, exacting standards, and am always eager to learn and push myself further. I have developed a variety of work and life-based skills, in particular my delivery of high customer service standards. I also pride myself on my strong interpersonal skills, and ability to build relationships on any level. I am a natural optimist; which helps me tackle challenges with enthusiasm and objectivity. I am at my most fulfilled when assisting others and enhancing their experiences, and have been fortunate that most of my roles so far have facilitated this for me. My H.R. roles have provided me with generalist experience, and knowledge of current H.R. practices and my most recent position has exposed me to managing change within my team and across the wider business. This has developed my confidence and I now need a new challenge; with exposure to wider, more complex HR issues.
