Tips for First-Time HR Manager?

This is my first time in an HR role. I have leadership experience as an operations manager where I performed several HR duties for some years and achieved a number of goals in a short period of time. My experiences there and the people and culture aspect of that role made me decide to embark on an HR path. My new role is 100% remote and it’s for a small media company with less than 50 employees. I’m excited but want to go into this as prepared as can be.

I benefited greatly from reading books to help me improve my communication skills and improve my understanding of different learning styles. Both helped me with 1)keeping the team engaged and 2)navigating different ways to communicate the same messages to different audiences. I eventually got better, after making some mistakes.

Work towards phr, it helps you learn the basics Heavy on compliance and a bit on engagement
