Paul Garvey joined CFA in July 2004 as Executive Manager Human Resources. Paul stepped up to Director of Human Resources in October 2008. Paul is passionate about HR and communicating information to the field. It is hoped that through his blog and encouragement of departments within HR to make regular contributions to CFA Connect that members will feel updated and informed about the key achievements and progress of the HR directorate.
It's not often that we stop to acknowledge the invaluable work done by our CFA Peers. These are volunteers who frequently step in at a moment's notice and selflessly commit their personal resources to help others through tough times.
I can’t believe it is December already. Where does the time go? “Time flies when you are having fun”. I wonder why no one has ever added “and busy” to the end of that? Human Resources Directorate has been working very hard and I didn’t want to let some of our key achievements over the past couple of months slip by without sharing these with you.
As I ponder this weekend's grand final replay (even though my team only just made the 8) I at least have the satisfaction that one of the Blues took out the Brownlow. Then, as I flick through the HR Directorate business plans I wonder at how this year seems to have flown by, and I draw a parallel (believe it or not!) between football and CFA. To me it's as if we are in the final minutes of the third quarter, and I'll have the opportunity to motivate and inspire my team further before we head into the final quarter of 2010.
