Joan James – Manager of HR, Infrastucture
Bechtel Ltd

I was introduced to HRD within a few months of my own transfer to London from the Washington DC area.  Of course, my goal at that time was to become fully immersed in all that is HR in a new city and country.  My experience with HRD in terms of networking opportunities and, of course, the HRDirector publication has been very positive.  I find the featured articles to be relevant, timely and very informative.  I often find myself discussing some of the articles with my colleagues in America who don’t have access to HRD.  Really a super publication.
