On the afternoon of December 23, the 'Take You to Play HR' New Year-themed salon organized by 'Look at My Industry' took place. This event aims to enhance students understanding of the practical operations and cutting-edge trends in human resource management while providing an opportunity for in-depth exchanges with industry professionals. Three distinguished guests were invited: Huang Juan, HRBP Manager at Xiangyu Group; Jia Mengshi, Academic Assistant at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; and Zhang Junyu, Recruitment Manager at Zhengda Group. The three speakers shared their insights from diverse facets of human resources.
Huang Juan facilitated a unique co-creation activity centered on 'Establishing Trust Between HR and Business.' The session was divided into two parts: first, students formed three groups where members took turns sharing personal stories based on prompts provided to foster sincere communication and friendly interaction. This was followed by a collaborative discussion where groups explored strategies for building trust with business units and enhancing intergroup communication.
Drawing from her extensive experience as an HRBP, Huang Juan emphasized that gaining business trust is both a focal point and challenge within HRBP roles. She highlighted that delivering value through exceptional HR expertise is crucial for establishing connections with businesses while leveraging ones personality traits to quickly grasp business needs and provide effective solutions alongside demonstrating strong communication skills and empathy.
Jia Mengshi initiated her segment using the psychological card game 'Mind Snapshot,' introducing EAP (Employee Assistance Program), which represents a specialized role within the HR framework. She elaborated on its philosophy, responsibilities, working models, shared potential EAP scenarios encountered in corporate environments along with current statistics regarding workplace mental health.
Zhang Junyu provided an in-depth overview of various stages involved in recruitment—from resume screening to interviews leading up to offer issuance—highlighting key aspects that candidates should focus on from an HR perspective. A small co-creation exercise she led revolved around discussing perceptions related to post-00s workplace behavior adjustments—a topic that sparked lively debate among participants.
This New Year salon offered students valuable insights into human resources work within a relaxed yet engaging atmosphere while laying groundwork for future career decisions. The event was hosted by the Student Development Association of Business School.
