Another Avigilon Exec Out, Impact On Expansion?
Last month, Avigilon touted their Vice President of People. Now, she is gone and Avigilon is running an ad to find a replacement.
HR is especially important to Avigilon as the company aims for a 'rough doubling' of employees in 2014, adding hundreds of new people.
It could be that the ousted VP of People just did a bad job and needed to be replaced after about a half year on the job. Even if that is the case, it will take time to hire and on-board the replacement.
This follows the VP of Sales taking over all of operations and efforts to find a new VP of marketing.
I see this as a not-necessarily-bad thing. I've definitely met HR people I think should be fired (yes I'm talking about physical security vendors). Modern corporations have overly chirpy social network/PR machines so almost any signal visible to ipvm.com is suspect as just noise, no matter the vendor or clue level. Disclaimer: I don't know the context so I'm not claiming to offer a truly informed opinion.
That may be true but you're much better off replacing someone half a year into the job than wait a couple of years and wish you did it sooner.
Another senior Avigilon HR person has left. She billed herself as "Team Avigilon's #1 fan"....
While soft skills like HR are hard to measure, I generally would run.....fast....from any HR candidate with a résumé that includes words like "Youth Advocate", "Social Responsibility". I would also question naming the positoin "VP of 'People'". How can you even say that without giggling?
