Planit appoints global human resources director
Planit Software Group, a CADCAM specialist, has promoted Dawn House to the position of global human resources director.
In her new role Ms House is responsible for HR requirements for all Planit's 300 staff around the world. "A company's greatest resource is its employees," she says, "Without good employees even the best business plans may fail. By focusing on Planit's employees and partnering with managers to help them develop their staff, HR can help everyone stay focused on their jobs, ultimately making the business more efficient. Employees can either make a company great, or they can break it."
While addressing the general differences in each country's employment laws, specifically between America and the United Kingdom, she says Planit's staff are remarkably similar, no matter where they live and work. "While different motivators may drive them to be their best, everyone just wants to be an integral part of Planit's success.
"I'm intending to build a human resources department that focuses on 'Doing The Right Thing' for our staff, our external customers and our business. We'll be bringing the right people together across the business to solve problems, while consistently working to break down any barriers."
Based at Planit's Tuscaloosa office in the United States, Ms House has worked for the company for ten years, and was previously US director of human resources. After gaining a bachelor of science degree in business studies, she has clocked up 20 years experience in accounting, payroll and human resources.
