Chloe Coombe

I am a Human Resources Practitioner with a “can-do” attitude, currently studying towards my National Diploma in HR Management. I am in my third year of experience within the HR department in the Construction Industry. Currently the Eastern Cape regional HR Administrator for a National Building Construction firm, 400+ employees. Worked as a receptionist for a few years, during this time, I was noticed as the right fit for the HR Department and immediately fell in love with this career. I have since been mentored by the HR Manager of the region, who has not only provided me with exposure to the full HR Operational and Administrative function, but also to the more strategic HR best practices. I am a quick learner, hungry for this growth and my ability to remain objective but passionate with the right amount of empathy for my employees has proven to be a key cornerstone of the success in my current role.
