I'm offering
I am an experienced Human Resources Professional with over 12 years demonstrated history of working in various industries, Corporate, Marketing, Education and Healthcare. Skilled in all HR disciplines,including, performance management, organisational development, benefits, recruitment, and employee relations and engagement. I am a highly pro active individual with strong communication skills and a positive attitude, and operate on providing the 'human' side of HR, with a sense of humour! I provide support and advice to all levels of management. Examples of my abilities and achievements:-
➢ Built up two HR departments from scratch within 2 different organisations that supported the stakeholders more effectively and efficiently to develop the organisation's productivity and employee relations.
➢ Developed and launched brand new flexible benefits platform to align the multi company sites, which increased employee engagement throughout.
➢ Doubled staff retention from analysis of collected staff data by initiating tighter recruitment processes and organised relevant training programmes that developed the employee's strengths and improved weaknesses which created more efficiency within the teams.
➢ Achieved the highest results in two compliance audits by using my diligence and attention to detail and ensuring policies and procedures were compliant with employment law and followed accordingly.
➢ Key member of Senior Management Team in the TUPE process and established a smooth process from start to finish using my strong communication skills and eye for detail.
➢ Created a more efficient and effective self-employed sector within the organisation in line with HMRC regulations, by educating the relevant staff on the necessary processes and this in turn provided a successful audit.
I have been told several times that I make people feel that they matter and nothing is too much trouble to find a solution - that is what makes my job so worthwhile knowing I can make a positive difference.
