“I have a career at Deloitte where I define my own path, where I am challenged to think differently all the time, and where I can work along-side my clients to make an impact with them, and create high performing workforces.”
Vanessa Bugge, Director, HR Advisory
I am a Director in our HR Advisory practice, part of our broader HR Transformation team in Human Capital Consulting. My passion and purpose at work is helping HR teams unlock their full potential, so that the workforce they deliver services to, can do the same. I work with an amazing group of people – and this team is the reason why I jump out of bed to come to work.
What I love doing with our clients most is Transforming HR - accelerating CHROs and their teams along their path towards being game changing, and being the trusted advisory to business leaders on all things people and potential. My main areas of focus are:
One of my favourite moments at Deloitte, was being part of our Courageous Principals program – a global, award winning school leadership development program that equips K-12 principals, assistant/deputy principals, and other members of school leadership, with the skills to drive a culture of high performance for teachers and students.
My industry passion is public sector, and specifically education. When I was given the opportunity to be a facilitator in this program that Deloitte runs for school leaders, I felt so proud. Proud to be giving back to the education community in Australia, that has given me so much – and that we rely on as a national and global community to continue to make the quality of our lives better, through quality education.
I know that I can have a career at Deloitte where I define my own path, where I am challenged to think differently all the time, and where I can work along-side my clients to make an impact with them, and create high performing workforces. This is inspiring, no doubt.
However, what I look forward to the most, is continuing a journey I have been inspired to start at Deloitte – one of improving my own approach to self-care, and taking accountability for my wellness and a flexible approach to work, especially as a new mum. I am looking forward to being a leader who has perspective, and who has made a habit out of wellness at work. I know I am in the right place, because I see everyone working on it, together.
The opportunities are endless as we take on the challenge of rethinking the whole world of work, globally. What we ask of you, is that you be yourself, wholeheartedly, and wear your heart on your sleeve a little too. Our best work and best fun are when we are open, and a little vulnerable to “think out loud” even in its most raw form – because that’s where the magic happens. Take risks, put your ideas and thinking out there – and grab hold of the opportunities because they are plentiful.
