Intro (TLDR: You Can Use The Tabs at the Bottom to View In-Depth, Practical, Situational Examples of my Experience in People Operations)

Hello and welcome! 😊👋🏻 Quintin Coetzee here. A note for you: I built this Google Sheet as a way to, A) document for myself and B) document for others, the extent (breadth and depth) of People Operations / People & Culture work that I've done over the course of my career thus far. While obviously not all my experience is here, there are many great examples, which are categorized for you.

NB: Please use the tabs at the bottom of the Sheet (you might need to scroll to the right for more, depending on your screen size) to browse through the various categories of P&C experience that I have.

To make things easier for everyone, I've divided this Sheet into various sections (the tabs below), which are: Leadership; Hiring; Onboarding; Offboarding; Building and Managing Processes; Culture; Compliance and Policies; Benefits Administration; and General Administration and Other Related Work

I refer throughout here to People Operations and People & Culture, rather than "Human Resources", because People Ops/P&C is a very positive evolution, refinement, rethinking, and expansion of HR. It takes what's good, leaves behind what's not (including the negative connotations many people have with the "traditional HR departments", and creates something with a really refreshing, modern, culture-focused, integrated approach. If you'd like to learn more about businesses moving away from HR and towards P&C, here are some links for you (Link 1 ; Link 2). I've worked across both traditional HR and modern P&C. But essentially, P&C is just a new way of doing HR. It's more proactive and cross-functional by nature. Here's something to consider (some quotes) from one of the articles I've linked here for you.

"When HR’s approach and programs do not reflect the mindset of a company’s leadership, employees see and feel it... Employees will recognize that the growth mission of the organization is superficial, and their commitment will be equally shallow... HR teams that lack a strong understanding of corporate strategy and the effort required to meet business goals will not be highly effective at recruiting, performance management or retention. When you have a team that is ready to engage the business directly, eager to gather workforce knowledge and able to own and advance the EVP [Employment Value Proposition], you have the start of a strong people and culture team. Take the name, embrace the business strategy and keep everything you do (administrative or not) true to your unique business culture." 💪🏻

However, perhaps even more valuable than that, I also built an entire personal website, which you can browse around at your leisure. Not only does it have a wealth of career info, but, importantly, quite a lot of insightful info about who I am as a person (my values, personality, demeanor, interests, hobbies, passions, etc.) The information included in this Google Sheet of People Ops Experience is not comprehensive - it's meant to serve as a place to house some examples of contributions I'm proud of having achieved (I try to remain modest and humble as a person, but you also should own your successes in life). 🚀

If you'd like to watch the entire new video series, which I released near the end of September 2024, you can click here. I made it to showcase and walk you through, across separate categories you can choose from, my career, skills, tech proficiencies, values, hobbies, interests, motivators, and personality in a much more humanistic way than what text alone can achieve.

I have many more examples to share if you'd like to chat over some coffee or on a video call. I can be reached best via email (contact.quintin@gmail.com) or via phone (+2766 000 5720). If you work in the People & Culture space too, work at an interesting company (especially in tech), or just live in the lovely city of Cape Town, South Africa too, and want to connect, I'd love to chat! Feel free to reach out to me and we can arrange something. I really enjoy meeting new people and networking!
