Paula Glover Email & Phone Number

I help my clients to make their organisations better places to work, so they can attract and retain the right talent to deliver their strategic objectives, and so that their employees have a positive lived experience at work. The research and consultancy I deliver, enables my clients to make strategic and policy decisions that ‘Put People First’. My evidence-based, pragmatic approach means that my work is underpinned by both robust research and relevant stakeholder input, and also takes account of business needs. My systems thinking approach, enables me to help my clients to examine the root causes of their People challenges, and to explore the different enablers and blockers for success with their People strategies and policies.My inquisitive mind, coupled with my continuous learning mindset, means that I keep up to date with recent research and practitioner developments. No project is ever the same, so I am highly experienced at quickly getting up to speed on projects. I am comfortable with the uncertainty of navigating a new work area, because I know I have always succeeded in building my understanding and delivering what is needed. My adaptability and responsiveness to change enables me to deliver effectively against changing client needs and to develop competence and confidence quickly in speaking to my clients in their own domain-specific language. For over 20 years I have worked with complex, high-stakes organisations, mostly in Defence and security. I typically work in fast-paced environments, under tight deadlines, frequently managing several projects concurrently, involving internal project teams, external suppliers, and multiple stakeholders. My excellent interpersonal and networking skills have allowed me to build long-standing relationships with my suppliers, partners, and clients. I am a Chartered Psychologist & Associate Fellow with the British Psychological Society (BPS), a Registered Occupational Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and an Associate member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Since September 2023, I have been working towards a PhD (part time) with the University of Winchester, researching employer-supported volunteering.
