We asked Nina Pollard, head of P&C – Corporate Functions at Coles, 3 quick questions and she came back with 3 quick (and insightful!) answers.
Like many, I started my talent journey as an agency recruiter for Diversiti: an Accenture business, hiring tech contractors for EDS.
Taking on the Chief of Staff role about 10 years ago; that was intense! But it was also where I had some of my biggest on the job learning and development. Getting exposure to the CEO, Executive team and Board day to day in my work was a fantastic opportunity to grow and learn from some very impressive leaders.
One of keys is to ensure you’ve got both breadth and depth in your experience to ensure you can ‘join the dots’ when you’re a leader in Talent.
It’s hard to choose just 1 activity – but I’d say get on a tram! Go to one of the cool neighbourhoods in Melbourne where there are small, interesting bars, restaurants and shops. Try Tram No. 96 go one way to St. Kilda Beach or the other way to check out Brunswick St, Fitzroy.
