DayoneHR is delighted to announce that Yogina Shakya has joined us as a HR Transformation Consultant. Yogina brings a wealth of skills and experience with her as we continue to help companies improve people experiences and processes with HR technology.
Yogina’s Journey to DayoneHR
The role of Human Resources became apparent to Yogina when she was in her very first job as a call center representative. Yogina’s always been a person with sharp observational skills and great attention to detail. For Yogina, the contribution of the HR function was very clear to her in the early stages of her professional life. In that call center, she found herself in awe of her HR colleagues conducting interviews and leading training sessions. She had great admiration for the HR staff who were often at the centre of workplace camaraderie, whilst also diligently carrying out important duties behind the scenes.
Later on, Yogina worked a front desk job, performing essential administrative tasks and doing anything and everything to make sure the office operations ran smoothly. But in this role the lines of responsibility were often blurred and it was becoming increasingly evident to Yogina that matters relating to the management of personnel was her passion.
Around 5 years into her career, Yogina took the leap to become a HR practitioner at an IT company. At the time, she did not have an academic background in HR and so she learned everything on the job through hard work and dedication. On reflection, Yogina believes taking this step into HR was one of the best decisions of her life.
Whenever asked why she chose to specialise in HR, Yogina’s answer had always been to bring out the best in people and to help them grow. She always felt that should be the main focus of HR. But, once she started in her role as HR practitioner, she soon realized that HR professionals do not always have adequate time for that because they are overloaded with administrative work. It was at this point that she recognized that HR professionals are often the ones who need help, so that they can in turn help others.
Yogina recalls when she first heard the tagline from HRIS software provider BambooHR about “freeing up your time to do great work”. This sparked a new interest and passion for HR technology. Through practice, she learned how HR Tech systems and automation can free up so much time for HR teams to make more meaningful contributions overall; like advancements in company culture, policies, and people practices.
This new found passion for HR Tech has recently brought Yogina to DayoneHR where she is able to work with like-minded companies and teams who understand the value of an effective HR Tech Stack. She said of her new role as a HR Transformation Consultant: “I am thrilled to be starting my journey with DayoneHR. I’m excited for the adventure ahead and to be able to enhance the HR Tech experience for companies across the globe.”
