Rebecca Baker

“Anyone who has had the good fortune to work with Becky will know how enjoyable that experience is because her passion and perseverance to truly make a difference and her outstanding professionalism make her a brilliant colleague and an exceptional leader. She will say very humbly, that her influence on others isn’t a lot, that they found their own way and she merely played a supporting role in helping that talent to grow. Except, of course, that isn’t true. Because what Becky does best is commit to her principles and deliver results so that people can achieve so much more from their lives. And that isn’t a little thing. It’s everything. Thousands of Team Members at Travelodge now dream bigger because their hours increased, they can work around their family life whilst improving their health and their job was protected through the job retention scheme. Simple, powerful actions delivered at scale, at the right time for both the business and it’s people. She has also given me and so many others like me, the opportunity and the confidence to give life my best shot, no regrets. Support for a big proposition launch, a powerful question to drive the thinking or an encouraging text after a meeting...it’s all the same thing...it’s fuelling belief that your thoughts and ideas matter. That you matter. And as much as she’ll say that isn’t a lot, everyone who has been inspired by her will ever so politely (because she taught us to role model great leadership behaviours too), will always beg to differ.”

Rebecca's intellectual capability, forward thinking and drive got us involved with Glassdoor very early on. She Reinvented how we think about career journeys at Three and how we can identify mobilise and grow Talent. All this whilst being approachable and with a smile. Many HR professionals talk about putting people first, but Rebecca really does every day, regardless of circumstances. Her teams have always raved about her ability to be truly customer centric and help them feel support and grow. She is first and foremost Authentic (straight talking), Inspiring, Strategic, Brave and Passionate about her work, which she always approaches with a great deal integrity. I sincerely enjoyed working with her, If you get an opportunity to work with Rebecca grab it with both hands, she is a smart cookie and is guaranteed to raise the bar and and make a real difference to your EVP inside and Out.
