Employee Relations: Offering flexible, on-demand support to organisations facing occasional people-related challenges. This includes assistance with disciplinary actions, grievance resolution, performance improvement, absence management, and redundancy processes.


Strategic People Plans

I specialize in creating strategic people plans that are customized to align with your business objectives. By focusing on the entire employee lifecycle—from Day One through to Exit. I help  improve employee engagement at every stage.

Career Pathways

A Career Pathway provides clear guidance for employees aspiring to advance within an organization. It is designed to align with the current organisational structure, outlining the necessary experience, competencies, training, and behaviors required to move up to the next level. In larger organisations, Career Pathways can also open doors to different areas, offering employees diverse opportunities for growth and development across various departments

Culture & Values

Facilitating and project managing an organisation's culture and values is essential for ensuring they are deeply embedded within the company, going far beyond just words on a wall. It requires a strategic approach to integrate the values into every aspect of the business—from decision-making and leadership to employee engagement and day-to-day operations.

Building and HR Department

Supporting a growing business through the process of setting up an in-house HR department can be challenging, but with the initial assistance of an HR consultant, the transition can be much smoother. As the company scales, having an internal HR team becomes essential for managing recruitment, employee relations, compliance, and development. An HR consultant can provide valuable expertise to help design the structure, policies, and procedures that align with the company’s values and goals. This initial support ensures that the HR department is set up efficiently, creating a strong foundation for ongoing success, while allowing the business to focus on its growth and long-term objectives.
