    Good to see ‘diversity’ to the fore with the top Honours this time round. More new Dames than new Knights. That’s good ...maybe Heartland are on the track with their commitment to diversity.
    HBL doing its bit for Diversity. Laura Byrne appointed Head of People and Culture. (would really have ticked all boxes if she was Asian and had one leg) but at least a woman getting a promo is a good step along the way. (Is going from COO to HPC a promotion?)

    Laura was already part of the Senior Management Team. I suppose the encumbent HR person Sarah is moving on or something

    Having a women in charge of HR doesn't really cpunt as 'diversity'. A large proportion of these leaders are women ....maybe companies feel they need the warm fuzzy empathetic maternal touch to be in charge of people.

    Unless the new COO (assuming there will be one) is a woman the balance of diversity of Heartland Senior Manager won't change.

    Exactly
    I tend to think of it as a token position
    eg Jackie Johnson (ex IAG NZ CEO) went to that role in IAG (Aus)

    hmm... that doesn't seem very diverse. Isn't it a Mans turn?

    No future for a male being a HR professional

    Peat - a real good HR person actually involved in the strategic leadership of the busimess can add heaps of value as long as HR is seen as more than just hiring, training and firing
