Passionate about driving business performance through pragmatic, commercially focussed and professional HR. Extensive experience in all aspects of Strategic and Operational HR for businesses of all shapes and sizes across multiple sectors including financial and other professional services, engineering, care, manufacturing, service & sales, IT and hi-tech start-ups, agriculture and hospitality. Since my transition from HR Director to a consulting role several years ago, I have worked with a number of different clients on both a retained and adhoc basis, all with their own unique requirements, but always built strong trusted relationships and received great feedback and commendations.I enjoy a challenge, making a difference and happy to role my sleeves up and get stuck in with whatever’s needed. I am a country girl at heart and enjoy living in the New Forest with my husband, chickens, dogs and horse. When not at work I am often to be found in wellies - covered in dog hair or hay!Specific Hands-on Experience in:Strategic planning and budgetingM&A – TUPE, Integration and harmonisation / Outsourcing service provision Restructuring / Redundancy / Organisational DesignEmployee Relations - all aspectsHRIS implementation and development of monthly stats / KPIs / case management systems.Management of cost efficiency and service improvement programmesCultural Change Management – high performance, service excellenceTalent Acquisition, Management and Development including recruitment, performance management, succession planning and Leadership developmentOrganisation Transformation and Development - coaching, devising and implementing strategies to up-skill Functions, Line Managers and Leadership teams in line with Business strategyHR and HSE Policy & GovernanceImplementing and Maintaining key business accreditations and compliance – ISO9001, ISO14001, Safe Contractor, ARMA-Q, CQC etcCompensation, Reward and Benefits Management including Job Evaluation and BenchmarkingEmployee Engagement and Communications
