It is important that you have confidence in who you are working with. If we work together, I will get to know you and your business and I would like you to get to know me. In the meantime, to help you understand how I am well placed to support you with your HR needs, I’ve created a brief introduction to my experience and skills.
I am a qualified HR professional and coach with wide experience across various industry sectors. I graduated from The London School of Economics with a Masters degree in Industrial Relations & Personnel Management and have circa 25 years professional experience. I am CIPD qualified and I have a Post-Graduate Certificate in Career & Talent Management.
I spent a significant part of my career managing employee engagement, performance and employee relations in senior HR Business Partner roles. Prior to that I created and deployed career and talent management programmes up to senior management levels as well as recruiting and developing graduates, interns and apprentices in blue chip companies across a range of industries.
I have worked in this field at Airbus, Tata Steel, John Lewis Partnership, Vodafone and KP Snacks.
I now work in a freelance capacity to support small and medium sized businesses with their HR requirements.
I am based in Bracknell, Berkshire but am able to work with clients across the UK. If you are based within reasonable travelling distance of Bracknell, we can work together in person or virtually. If you are based further afield, I would be delighted to work with you virtually.
Why Work With Me?
You could manage HR yourself, but as a small business, it is often not cost-effective or practical to have an internal dedicated HR department.
Engaging me as an external HR consultant can be an effective solution for your business, providing you access to specialised HR expertise and support to supplement your internal HR provision as and when you need it.
Expertise
I have broad and deep knowledge and experience in HR across a range of industry sectors and sizes of business. I am committed to keeping up to date with my specialist HR knowledge and people management trends and I am a member of the CIPD, the HR professional body.
Network
My network of HR professionals and legal experts provides the depth, cover, reliability and range of support provided by bigger consultancies while giving the service and flexibility of a smaller company tailored to your business needs.
Cost Effective
Outsourcing HR tasks can be more cost-effective than hiring an in-house HR team, especially for smaller companies or those with limited HR needs. As an HR Consultant, you do not pay me a salary plus all the associated benefits, overheads and commitments.
Flexible & Scaleable
You can bring me in on an as-needed basis, which allows for greater flexibility. You can work with me sporadically when you need me or engage me on a monthly retainer fee and add on hours or educe hours as and when needed.
Objective
I can provide an unbiased perspective on HR issues, which can be valuable when dealing with sensitive or controversial matters. It can be difficult for a company to identify specific problems within its business because it may lack the objectivity to critically examine itself.
The Gift of Time
By outsourcing HR activity, you and your teams teams can focus on the core activities that drive revenue and growth, confident that HR responsibilities are managed in compliance with legal standards and best practices..
