HR hopefuls in Civil Service diversity awards

August 27, 2009

Guru can only wonder what it must be like to work in HR in Whitehall's fabled corridors of power. Yours Truly has never been lucky enough to get a Civil Service gig, if he had then surely he would have heard of this crack team of HR pros?

The categories for something called the Civil Service Diversity and Equality Awards include the impressively vague Improvement Award. Making the prestigious shortlist for this award is the HR Validation Group Monitoring team at the Department of Health.

Nope, Guru has no idea what this means either. But it looks like these HR bods basically aim to get more people to tick all the boxes on equality forms. And, according to their award entry, they're quite good at it.

Well done on your achievements guys, you truly are legends in your own lunchtime. But HRVGM are up against stiff competition, including the Violence Against Women Team at the Crown Prosecution Service.

Guru presumes this team is working to prevent violence against women, but whatever, no-one will beat (pardon the pun) the HRVGM team. Guru will report back on their awards success.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator and dispenser of workplace wit and wisdom. He was once an HR Director but is now the antithesis of good people management. He is right-leaning, most certainly politically incorrect and ever so slightly misogynistic. He is also lazy, married (to Mrs Guru) and refers to himself – as all self-important people do - in the third person.
