She was previously head of HR for an international law firm, and head of HR for a national law firm prior to that. Smith says: “My favourite benefit is the buying of an extra week’s holiday; who doesn’t like to spend more time on holiday with family and friends? While not a benefit, hybrid working for me is great; it means that I can go to the gym in my lunchtime or take the dogs for a walk to make sure I get a break.” On her most proud achievements so far, Smith says: “It’s hard to pin it to just one thing throughout my career. I guess a couple of things spring to mind: getting 100% of people saying DMH is a great place to work and obtaining Investors In People Gold are definitely up there for me.”
