Whilst at Lancaster Jean-David shared rich insights with our postgraduate students studying Human Resource Management or Human Resources and Consulting. Having worked in the field for the past decade, he shared his experiences from working for global and multi-lingual organisations and insights into flexible, pro-active HR service, recruitment, training, talent management processes and employee lifecycle best practice.

“It is always great for our students to hear open and frank experiences from practicing managers. The session allowed our students to ask questions and gain further exposure to the complexities, tensions of the everyday life of an HR professional and expert.” (Dr Alison Stowell – Associate Director, Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business).

In addition, Jean-David spoke about career opportunities at the WBCSD in an open session to all students organised in conjunction with our Lancaster University Career’s teams. The session was well attended by students from different disciplines and levels.
