Sunita’s journey into HR began during her studies for a BTEC National Diploma in Business and Finance, where she developed an interest in personnel practices. Once she knew this was the path she wanted to take, she continued that through her academic studies at university. Sunita’s strong affinity for working with people drove her to acquire an extensive knowledge base in HR, which she applies effectively in her work.
Before joining HR Solutions, Sunita worked in both public and private sectors, including roles in the NHS, colleges, the travel industry, and most recently, the retail sector. Her expertise spans various HR areas, including dealing with absence management, performance management, disciplinaries, grievances, recruitment, and apprenticeships. Recently, she’s gained a deeper understanding of the apprenticeship system and how it can help businesses of all sizes train and develop their staff.
Outside of work, Sunita enjoys wellbeing activities such as yoga, listening to meditation and reflexology.
Sunita’s Q&A
What is your greatest personal achievement?
It has to be motherhood. My two children keep me on my toes all the time and watching them grow and develop into their personalities is lovely. Time flies, and before I know it, they’ll be all grown up!
What is your favourite song, film, book or album?
Growing up in the 90s has made me the biggest Backstreet Boys fan! They’re one of the only boy bands that are still together and still going! I’ve been to their concerts, and I’m planning to take my kids to the next one.
What is your favourite quote?
My motto is to always try your best in everything that you do, and success will follow. I always say this to my children, emphasising that making mistakes is part of being human; it’s about learning from them and moving forward.
What do you wish other people knew about HR Solutions?
It’s built on great team working and there is a wonderful family atmosphere. Everyone is always at hand to support and there is a vast amount of knowledge within the business which is an asset to the company.
