An Interview With Rachel Kline \u2013 Published in\u00a0Authority Magazine<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Elevating the employee experience<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOperating a successful business hinges on having great employees. So, creating an exceptional employee experience is truly what sets the tone. The reality is that employees\u2019 wants, needs and what they look for in an employer are changing, and we need to keep up with that if we want to grow and attract talent. There\u2019s a generational shift going on in the workforce right now and HR is right in the middle of this. We don\u2019t want to be stagnant when it comes to attracting younger talent because our competition certainly won\u2019t be.<\/em>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMost leaders don\u2019t see how to employ HR as a strategic pillar of the business, and this leaves a lot of professionals feeling somewhat frustrated. In this interview series, we talk to HR professionals, business leaders, and anyone who is an authority on HR who can share what companies can gain by having HR in the boardroom and why and how HR should help drive company decisions. This time we had the pleasure of interviewing Laura Sheehy.<\/em>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs Odyssey Logistics\u2019 Chief Human Resources Officer, Laura Sheehy is responsible for leading the human resources (HR) function for Odyssey globally. With more than 30 years in the HR arena, her experience is as broad as it is deep, covering everything from talent acquisition and management to employee relations, benefits, and payroll. Laura holds a B.S. degree from the University of Bridgeport, where she graduated Magna cum Laude.<\/em>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThank you so much for your time! I know that you are a very busy person. Before we dive in, our readers would love to \u201cget to know you\u201d a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your \u2018backstory\u2019 and how you got started?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI started my career in retail, and I remember having a conversation with my manager back then. I told her I was leaving for an HR role, and she told me that I wouldn\u2019t be happy pushing papers around all day. To some extent, she had a point. But thankfully, my earlier HR roles were in manufacturing, so I was able to walk the shop floors and learn about the various roles in the company. This helped me learn a lot about what people do, which, in turn, helped me become a more effective partner to the business and its leaders.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs for my HR journey, it\u2019s been quite a ride. I\u2019ve worked in benefits, payroll, recruitment \u2014 I can confidently say I\u2019ve covered all aspects of HR. Though I must say that my favorite part of HR is recruiting. There\u2019s excitement in finding the right fit for a team, and that excitement has helped me build a best-in-class HR team.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn top of that, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of industries \u2014 manufacturing, technology, restaurant, retail, and logistics. This diverse experience has served me well.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt has been said that our mistakes can be our greatest teachers. Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Honestly, it\u2019s like my mind decided to put a lock on those memories! We all make our share of mistakes, and I\u2019m no exception. Like everyone, I\u2019ve had my moments where I\u2019ve fallen flat on my face. But I do think the saying is true: What doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger. So, while I don\u2019t have a laugh-out-loud story for you, I can tell you that each time I messed up, I learned something that helped me do better next time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIs there a particular person who you are grateful for who helped get you to where you are?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI have two people who come to mind, each for very different reasons.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe first is my amazing 95-year-old aunt who is still a ball of fire. She spent her entire career at Citibank in New York City, and she was my role model growing up. I was in awe of the way she dressed up for work and would take the train into the city to work in the office. She supported herself, navigated through a male-dominated world and was an example of the strong, independent woman that I wanted to be. She was also a world traveler and inspired the travel bug in me too.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe second person who significantly impacted my journey is a former colleague from my early management days. This executive left an indelible mark that I still think about to this day. During a customer visit, they introduced me with the comment, \u201cshe\u2019s just back office.\u201d At that moment, I felt deflated and disappointed that he said that. But this person\u2019s mistake gave me purpose. It drove me to prove that I\u2019m not just back office. HR isn\u2019t back office; it\u2019s a strategic partner at the heart of decision-making.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the male-dominated world, we\u2019ve come so far and I\u2019m so proud of the fact that all of us together, no matter the gender, have really worked hard to bring us to where we are today.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCan you please give us your favorite \u201cLife Lesson Quote\u201d? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cDo the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaya Angelou<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThinking back on your own career, what would you tell your younger self?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I would tell her that strength is your most important trait, and you\u2019ll travel through your journey encountering people who are supportive and others who are the exact opposite. It\u2019s the experiences with the latter that will really drive you to continue to work hard \u2014 harder than everyone else. Don\u2019t waste time doubting yourself because you know what the right thing to do is. Like I said earlier, what doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLet\u2019s now move to the central part of our interview about HR. Why do you think HR deserves a place in the boardroom and in high-level decision-making? Can you help articulate how a company will gain from that?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAbsolutely HR should have a seat at the table in the boardroom and play an integral part in high-level decisions. Talent planning and human capital play a big part in making business decisions and setting strategy. The board needs an HR person involved because we\u2019re well-versed in talent planning, reorganization, scaling up or down to support business needs. Plus, we need to understand the business strategy so we can appropriately coach our leaders and, while recruiting, sell opportunities to candidates.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom your experience, how can HR people and culture professionals ensure they\u2019re involved in strategic planning processes?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt comes down to having the support of the CEO and leadership team. It\u2019s very difficult if you don\u2019t have that support. To earn that support and be involved in the strategic planning process, we need to make sure we\u2019re adding value and sharing what\u2019s happening in the organization and the industry. HR also needs to stay on top of the competition\u2019s HR practices as well as convey what employees, managers and candidates are saying internally. In the end, HR needs to jump in and provide insights from their unique perspective that others in the room might not have.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA lot of folks believe that CHROs would make great CEOs, but often they\u2019re overlooked.<\/strong>\nWhy do you think that is?<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI love this question because it really affects me on a personal level. My aspiration is to become a CEO! It may be a moonshot since very few HR professionals elevate to the CEO level.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUnfortunately, in my opinion, HR executives are overlooked because of the misconception that we don\u2019t fully understand all the aspects of the business \u2014 but this can\u2019t be further from the truth. HR leaders must be well-versed in all aspects of the business to fully partner with other leaders and support, coach, manage and motivate teams to perform. Who would be better for the CEO role than a people expert who has made a career learning, managing and motivating people?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
