As an individual in business (maybe a freelancer or a consultant or heading a very small business) you won’t have an HR department to hand and there will be situations where you may need professional HR support. You might be at a cross-roads in your career and need some coaching or simply a sounding board. You might be an individual about to expand your business and I canhelp by writing contracts of employment or policies and procedures.

Or you might not be in business, and at any stage in your career you might need some CV advice or interview techniques. I cansupport you with a CV review and advice and with interview coaching.

Additionally you may be a woman employed in an organisation that is supporting the movement towards having more women on boards and might wish to have an external coach or mentor.

SME.s are regularly operating in the midst of change. This may be of the organisation’s own making for example on a growth trajectory, or it may be reactive due to external influences such as the economy or changes in the law. I can support change management processes in various ways. If you need to restructure to improve efficiency I can work with senior management to develop a new organisation design, a new reporting structure and new job descriptions to provide strategic support. Also I can assist with your policies and procedures and your employment contract documents.

Additionally you may be supporting the movement towards having more women on boards and might wish to provide your senior female talent or upcoming stars with an external coach or mentor.

Once a business has reached a certain size, you will probably have a competent in-house HR department with fully utilised HR professionals. You need to keep your business on-track and not miss anything important; however, you will often have a short term additional piece of work or project with a need for a highly qualified professional input. This may be to cover assistance with due diligence for a proposed merger or acquisition, redundancies, organisational development, TUPE or you may require support with complex and discreet projects.
