Meet Claire: Talent, Learning and Culture Specialist at Thales

Many professionals find that the most rewarding aspects of their careers lie beyond just a paycheck. For Claire Angliss, being a Talent, Learning and Culture Specialist offers a unique combination of personal fulfillment and professional growth.

 

 

In the whirlwind of our professional lives, it's often the little moments that stand out—the ones that make us pause and truly appreciate what we do. For me, reflecting on what I enjoy about my role has been a heartening exercise, a reminder of why I chose this path and why I continue to thrive within it.

As Talent learning and culture specialist my days are a blend of challenges and rewards, each contributing to my overall satisfaction. One of the aspects I cherish most is the opportunity for creativity. Whether it's brainstorming fresh ideas for projects or finding innovative solutions to complex problems, this role fuels my creative instincts. It's immensely gratifying to see ideas come to life and make a tangible impact to both individuals and our business.

 

I love the collaborative nature of my work. Engaging with diverse teams and stakeholders brings a rich tapestry of perspectives to the table. I enjoy the exchange of ideas, the collective problem-solving, and the sense of unity that comes from working towards a common goal. 

Equally important is the sense of purpose inherent in what I do. Contributing to meaningful projects that have a positive impact on individuals or communities adds depth and meaning to my daily endeavours. Knowing that my efforts matter fuels a profound sense of fulfilment.

 

Beyond these intrinsic joys, my role also offers practical advantages. The flexibility to innovate, the autonomy to drive initiatives forward, and the chance to make decisions that shape outcomes—all contribute to a fulfilling professional experience.

Of course, no role is without its challenges. However, I've come to appreciate these hurdles as opportunities for growth and development. They push me to think critically, adapt swiftly, and emerge stronger on the other side.

 

Another facet that makes my role fulfilling is the continuous learning and growth. In a dynamic environment, there is always something new to explore—be it emerging technologies, industry trends, or professional development opportunities. This constant evolution keeps me engaged and motivated to expand my skills and knowledge. Thales has a fabulous outlook on learning, of course, I would say that the investment in my learning be that in time, experiences, or formal development has supported my growth. This in turn has of course been of benefit to Thales in what value I bring but equally to me in my future and current career choices.

In essence, what I enjoy most about my role is the perfect blend of creativity, collaboration, continuous learning, and purposeful impact. It's a privilege to wake up each day, knowing that I'm part of something meaningful and transformative.
