INTERVIEWS
WITHOURSO’SPIEPEOPLE
“SPIE really devotes
time to integrating
its new hires.”
What was your background before joining the company?
Pauline Masseus: When I was originally studying for a vocational diploma as a
management assistant, I had a taste of human resources and communication,
both of which areas appealed to me. When I enrolled for a Master’s degree I chose to
study human resources. I had a work/study internship as a human resources assistant
at Yoplait before being appointed to a position in personnel and pay administration
at Safran Electronics & Defense. I enjoyed being close to the employees, and it made
me want to get involved in communications. Then I saw that SPIE was offering an
internship as a communications officer in human resources. This was the perfect
way for me to break into an area that attracted me at the same time as strengthening
my grasp of human resources. So I applied… and it worked!
Tell us about your integration.
P.M.: The handover from the previous intern went very smoothly. There was an
induction course that allowed me to meet the people I would work with very quickly.
Today, I have regular meetings with my manager and I really feel that I’m being guided
and listened to. I’m learning a lot and fast.
What does your work consist of?
P.M.: I’m responsible for developing HR social media for SPIE. That consists of
promoting the employer brand by publishing news and interviews. I also try to raise
the profile of our female talents, So’SPIE Ladies, and diversity more generally,
which is a very important value for us. I also update the intranet to keep the employees
informed. Through these varied tasks, I’m finding out about the importance of external
and internal communications as well as relational communications.
