Susan
McNally will leave her post as head of strategic HR at Enfield to join Newham
Council early next month. McNally’s job has taken her around the capital’s
councils including Waltham Forest, Southwark and Haringey.

I
am a Londoner by adoption and I think it’s a fabulous city," she says. Her
key responsibilities at Enfield were industrial relations, employee relations,
strategic HR, corporate projects and equalities. "I am really looking
forward to my new role at Newham, where I intend to further shape the HR
function into a key strategic player in what is a very exciting and dynamic
authority," she says.

McNally,
who has an MA in strategic HR, hopes to make her new role very business
focused, delivering results to the function’s customers.

"I
want the HR service to be customer focused and I also want to develop a number
of flagship projects which will champion equalities in the workforce and the
community," she adds.

She
says that good HR should have a positive impact on an organisation and that the
secret to success is highly motivated staff: "What I love most about HR is
the opportunity HR professionals have to inspire and positively create change
in organisations at both macro and micro levels. I know that motivated people
are key to making the greatest difference with our customers both internal and
external."

McNally
is a fellow of the CIPD, has two children and enjoys travelling. she says:
"I am an independent parent with two children so work-life balance is a
reality for me. I have learned most in my life from being a parent and from
them both as individuals.
