My involvement with the Clough Organisation during my tenure extended to Project, Business Unit and Corporate levels. Setup framework of the Trades and Labour recruitment area of the business and provided HR support in Performance Management, Employee Relations and Training. Furthermore, I was located on many remote and local projects as the HR interface which provided a wide range of HR & ER Services to professional and trades personnel. Business Unit and Corporate focus was on remuneration & benefits, training, general recruitment, change management, performance management, procedure development and implementation and development in industrial relations.
