Robert Vaughan, HR Business Partner – SEGRO

Robert works as an HR Business Partner at SEGRO, with a focus on employee engagement, performance and development, employee relations and wellbeing support.

Having gone to university to study a BSc Business Management at Cardiff University, Robert’s interest was piqued by an HR module as part of his degree. “I was attracted to a career in HR because of the variety of work opportunities it would afford me,” he explains, “every sector and industry requires HR support and input.”

CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, awarded Robert his Level 7 diploma, which he lists as a highlight: “Studying alongside working full time was difficult but rewarding in the end!”

SEGRO prioritises the wellbeing and development of its people. “There is a recognition that if we are to reach our goal of being ‘the best property company’, our people need to be happy and motivated,” he says.

The best part of the role is the positive impact it has on SEGRO’s employees, by concentrating on retention and development, and gives Robert the chance to build and cultivate strong relationships.

“I think you can have a bigger impact on the business that way,” he concludes.
