We believe that having great HR in the workplace is essential to help your business grow. Here at The HR Dept (North Birmingham and Black Country), we have been working closely with SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to provide urgent support to many businesses through this unprecedented time of change. Our core focus recently has involved supporting businesses through the many rules and updates to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, providing advice and guidance to many teams on embracing a new way of working remotely, restructuring organisations and unfortunately supporting with redundancy processes. Our team provides affordable outsourced HR advice, tailored to your business needs. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss some HR support for your business.

COVID-19 has hit us all hard. Our way of life changed overnight - and our people have been rocked to the core. Never has resilience been more important, to be equal to whatever comes our way. And I am passionate about helping leaders build resilience in themselves, their teams and organisations. Just a few shifts in our perspective can be transformational to your team’s engagement and motivation. And far from being touchy feely, it makes hard commercial sense to develop these skills. The latest global Gallup survey showed that engaged teams result in an increase in profitability of 21%.

I’m a writer, a playwright, a storyteller who believes everyone has a compelling story inside of them. I’m keen to connect with people from all walks of life who may need some help in understanding how to find, write and structure their story. Or people who have an idea but don’t know how to overcome that initial barrier of pouring words onto a page. My vast theatre industry and playwriting experience has taught me the right questions to ask to help you first find, and then craft your story! From writing plays, to helping business owners to grow, I enjoy making a difference in whichever way I can. I’m a socially conscious and passionate individual with many hats, so I enjoy connecting with people to find out what synergies there may be with some of the work I do.
